    I'm sure a lot of us will know exactly where you're coming from @oceandreamer! Would it help you keep on track if you kept a tally of how much you save each time you eat out of the freezer? Just an idea...

    There are about one and a half portions of chickpea tikka left and DH doesn't fancy it tonight so it's up to little me. (Not so little if I keep eating the muffins and making jam). I think I will check for alternatives for today then supplement it with spinach and peas, and see if we can finish it on Sunday as a sort of new dish. Tomorrow we are going for pizza with some of the family so that gives us a two day break from it.

    The poor fridge needs another sort out: there's still a lot of melon so I'll have some at lunch today, and some crackers and cottage cheese that also needs to be used up. The most urgent job is to sort through the rest of the already-picked greengages and do something with them as they go over quite quickly.
