I make the weeks sandwiches in one go and freeze them in individual packs, just grab out out of the freezer and it’s defrosted by lunch and the bread is still lovely and fresh (except I’m gluten free and it’s horrible even when fresh - but don’t let that stop you !) and saves time in a morning 

Don't they go all soggy or feel wet/damp? i think it would be a little weird to freeze sandwiches? or is that just me? its something ive never done or even thought about doing before tbh. But it is one thing i hate doing is making sandwiches for work every day. I usually make them the night before for the next day and pop them in the fridge. I might try it at some point in the future. Thanks for the tip.

No they don’t go soggy, I don’t put salad stuff on them but pickles etc freeze and defrost ok.  We normally have sweetcorn chutney or mango chutney sort of stuff on them.

You’ve broken into another hundred, well done

Oh yes, now less than £100 to go before that figure starts with a 2.

Re - frozen sandwiches, Id trial it by perhaps making 2 different ones, say one ham, one cheese. That way youll know if you like them, only like 1, or dislike them. I like and cant tell frozen items defrosted then eaten (reheated or not) with the exception of pork products, which then taste odd and off putting to me. Im sure it has to be a taste bud/sensory issue. Its frustrating cos I have to make sure everything in this category is used up fresh cos otherwise it has to be binned. No being able to freeze half the pack of sausages for me unfortunately. 

Any plans for your week off? If not enjoy your garden (if you have one) hopefully the sun and time with the dog.

yes not far away now until im into the 2,000's.

I will have to give them a try next week if i remember, as i wont have to do any this week as im off work. Yh i guess different things taste differently when they have been frozen. 

Thanks. I dont have any plans for my week off tbh, im just going to enjoy not going to work and relaxing. Its been thundering today so thats a good start
