    I'm pretty sure the unwinding of the 100ml restrictions has been undone, IYSWIM - i.e. we're back to square one at all airports again after an issue with the machines was discovered - so definitely stick to your limits!

    Good luck with your trip.

    Don’t Toscos sell frozen cauli rice?

    KK
    ooh i will look!
    I just did a quick search on trolley and tesco, m and s, asda all have cauliflower rice. There is an online store that does it as well. Supposedly iceland still does it but I suspect it depends on your location 🤦 
    Could in theory make potato rice. Mash is also very nice with beans
    Potatoes are too high in carb on my slow carb plan - but will definitely check the other stores tx as certianly the Iceland one was cheaper and easier than buying fresh and grating myself 

    @watty1 tx will try on the recipes... On the clothing sounds like she really helped you see a happier, bigger life.
    The 22/23 degrees here and with a smart loose summer dress I am breathing in the sun. Every time I sit in it I just am loving the feeling of the heat on my skin...

    No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff.    Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

    I saw cauliflower rice yesterday in Iceland which annoyed me as when I looked for it after you posting about it ages ago they didn’t have it but they did yesterday when I had popped in for some coffee for work and wasn’t going home for five hours😂
