    Well done @beanielou - so much for you not losing!

    The bags definitely weren't worth it @bubbs particularly the one from the next town - 5 boxes of mushrooms which were definitely at the end of their life and a couple of jam and cream doughnuts. ย The one from the local Aldi was a bit better - only 2 boxes of mushrooms! ย Plus a bunch of spring onions, a tub of ham and pea soup, a couple of ready meals which will do for lunches (a pasta bake and a haddock in sauce topped with breadcrumbs); a pack of 2 pieces of smoked haddock; pack of stir fry veg and a couple of croissants. ย Don't think we'll bother with either of them again.

    The smoked haddock and the ready meals have gone straight into the freezer. ย Going to be making a big pot of mushroom stroganoff tomorrow!

    Think I'll stick to trying to get Lidl boxes or TGTG bags from the local Morrisons.

    Morning all, another beautiful day but fortunately a little bit cooler although the living room thermometer is showing it is still the same temp as last night when we went to bed but at least it's cooler than outside. ย No washing today!!! ย Will need to go and do some shopping as down to the last carton of milk - this doesn't usually happen as we buy 12 litres at a time!

    DH has physio again this afternoon which will probably be the last 1 to 1 - at least that's what the physio said last time and then he'd be invited to attend a group session but that only happens I think once a month so he probably won't go to that until after our holiday.

    Today's plan:

    B - scrambled eggs on toast
    L - halloumi, chicken and vegetable skewers, salad, potato salad
    D - mushroom stroganoff, rice

    HEA1 - milk
    HEA2 - halloumi
    HEB - bread
    Syns - LTL mayo 2; cream cheese 2 per 25g - will need to see how many portions of stroganoff I make to work out how much per portion!

    I've currently got 36.5 syns left for 3 days so easily doable.

    Have a good day everyone.

    Well done on the loss @beanielou whoop!

    Happy anniversary @maman โ€“ enjoy your celebrations x

    Those boxes were disappointing @joedenise L We are having mushroom risotto tonight in solidarity with your stroganoff!

    Had my fave lunch today of orzo, red onion, red pepper, feta and red wine vinegar dressing. Also had half a galia melon, an apple and a banana. Breakfast was the usual blueberry wheats with blueberries and mullerlight.

    Weather still very warm here so no running for me today. Might try tomorrow if itโ€™s a bit cooler.

    Two boxes of mushrooms made into stroganoff in the slow cooker. ย Two more boxes in there now! ย 

    A boxful sliced and frozen (half box frozen and other half box being frozen now). Will be ok for stews etc.

    Think I'm going to make some mushroom sauce with the rest of them that can be stirred through pasta.

    Just glad I've got some freezer space available!

    I need to make up a marinade for some chicken as defrosted it for dinner. ย Going to make butter chicken tomorrow for dinner.

    Have to say I'm sick of the sight of mushrooms at the moment so definitely don't want more for dinner tomorrow!
