    Have just checked the menu plan for tomorrow and taken out:  some spinach which will be chopped to go into my scrambled eggs for breakfast; some mini meatloaves with tomato glaze for lunch and some prawns for a Goan curry tomorrow night plus a couple of HM samosas.  Also got out a "puck" of light coconut milk.

    I'm not doing too well at this using up stocks business:
    In: three packets of cereal bars, 1 packet biscuits, 1 sesame seed crackers, 2 boxes cappuccinos, bunch of grapes, 2 jars peanut butter, box of lunchbox smoothies... mostly of these are to eat while at work. Marmalade.
    Out: fractions of the above, stilton (though I hope to replenish that soon), jar of jam.

    I even forgot to take a ready meal to work so used up an emergency tin of macaroni cheese from my locker but the ready meal would have given a bit of freezer space and fed me better.
