Thinking of you @bubbs. On reflection, I'm so glad you got that GP appointment for DH last week. I'm sure having him at home is good. Take care of yourself. 🤗
I made savoury mince in the SC yesterday and portioned it up for the freezer this morning. While I was at it, I've redone my freezer inventory. There's still plenty in there but mince and fish are low so I know what to look out for when I'm shopping. I'll definitely buy more of the hot, smoked salmon fillets from Aldi as they were lush. 😋 I need to make more meatballs @Jellybaby so mince is a must.
Thanks to my AF Saturday, I've still got 50 + syns left so OK for my lunch out tomorrow. 🤞 I'm not hopeful of being in target this week but it's a work in progress.
We had a heavy shower after I'd put the washing out @joedenise but I just left it and now there's hot sunshine. 🌞
Today's EE plan -
B- HEB toast, scrambled eggs and ham (P), HEA milk for drinks
L- ham (P), LO veg and pickles (S), 2 small potatoes (F)
D - veggie chilli (P, S), brown rice (F), cottage cheese (P)

Morning all, going out for a few hours with my friend. She wants to go to a town quite a way away so we're going on the train. Hope they're running OK. Have booked a car parking space in the supermarket nearest to the station as it's far cheaper than paying at the station.

D - some kind of hash to use up some LO potatoes and some veg from the fridge; will chuck in some 5% mince for protein - P; S; F
HEA - milk

Have a good day everyone.
