    Haven't had liver for ages.  Think that might have to go on my next month's menu plan!  I've got a small amount of liver in the freezer but planning on making faggots with that but won't make them until I've got a bit of room in the freezer as I like to make enough for the freezer as it's a bit of of faff.

    Was planning on changing the bed today but as it was raining this morning didn't bother - will be OK for another day or two and if necessary will tumble dry them, or might even just leave them in the wash bin until the weather is a bit better.

    If you ever venture into Aldi denise, this is really nice chocolate. It's £1.50 for 5 x 25g bars at 7 syns each.

    I'm a size 12 in most clothes but it does depend on the brand. My target weight is 10.5 stone and I'm 5ft 9. I'm often surprised in the magazine the size people 'say' they are. 😉

    I like liver but DH is variable so we don't have it often. I enjoy it 'dry' with bacon and onions but generally have it with mash and gravy. 😋

    Soup is rarely enough on it's own for me bubbs. I'd eat your breakfast and lunch together too. 😁

    I've tried that chocolate maman but prefer the Lidl one which is really cheap and works out at 1 syn per square (although the squares aren't very big!).  The best thing about the Aldi one is that it is a measured amount, but that's not a problem for me because I usually just have one "strip" which is 4 squares so 4 syns.

    I find soup is enough on its' own as long as it is fairly thick which is why I often add red lentils to my soups.  Probably the protein content means it's more filling.

    Morning all.  At last we finally have a dry day so washing machine is on and will get the bedding out onto the line as soon as it's finished.  Not particularly windy so will probably take a while to dry but at least it will be fresh smelling after being out in the air!

    Today's plan:

    B -  eggs on toast - P; HEB
    L - jacket potato, cottage cheese, salad - P; S; F
    D - stuffed chicken wrapped in bacon, mash, veg - P; S; HEA; F

    HEA1 - milk
    HEA2 - Primula light
    HEB - bread
    Syns - none planned
