    Well doneΒ bubbs. Β Now you've started losing again I'm sure it'll continue and you'll soon lose the rest of it as well!

    How many stockpots did you put in your cottage pie? Β I only ever use one as I find them quite salty, if I think it needs a bit more stock then I use an Oxo cube rather than another stockpot.

    It's really misty here this morning, really hope it burns off and we get a nice day later. Β Need to go shopping this morning. Β This is my "big" shop week where I buy anything that I can freeze which I've put in my menu plan. Β I also buy UHT by the case which lasts between a month and 6 weeks depending on how much we use. Β Need to buy baked beans this month as only have one tin left - can't remember he last time I let them get that low! Β Will do the round of SMs in the next town - The Food Factory, Lidl and then finish off in Morries. Β Will need to go to the butchers on the way back home as need to buy some sausages as only got enough for this weekends breakfasts.

    Today's plan:

    B - scrambled eggs and spinach on toast - HEB; P; S
    L - 2 pea soup - S; F
    D - liver, bacon, onions, mushrooms, beans - P; S; F

    HEA - milk
    HEB - bread
    Syns - none planned
