  • Veg box which will be delivered on Saturday evening is now added to our total - now at £171.59/£200 so I should make it through with some money to spare I hope as I just have the one final shop of the month to do at the weekend now. 

    I do have to do some lateral thinking around tomorrow night's tea though as it was meant to be a chicken stew but I've since realised that I've almost certainly not got enough tatties, and as more will arrive in the veg box, I have no intention of buying more at this stage... Hmmm! I'll have a look and see what other options there might be when I get home this evening.

    Do you have instant mash or tinned patties kept in the pantry for emergencies?  This would count as an emergency!  I keep both in store for times like this.  I also use instant mash powder, with lots of herbs in it, to make the coating for Fakeaway KFC!

    LOL - no, nothing like that. There IS stuff in the freezer and larder though. To be honest it might be that when we talk about it MrEH will suggest we just make it takeaway night - I've not got one of those planned in for November yet so it's doable!
