I just said to dh about topping with sliced potatoes , so that's what i am going to do 😁

Who needs Jamie Oliver when there's you around! 🤣

That's a huge increase in your electric bill. Has your consumption gone up as well perhaps? I was wondering whether DH being 'retired' might have made a difference. 🤔

Shame about the restaurant @joedenise. I'm always reluctant to recommend anywhere as they're only as good as your last visit. Chefs change, they cut corners to save money etc. ☹️

Maman, he had finished on this quarter last year too, we got the bill out from last year, this quarter and was about 100 units more, but it has been cold and we have had the fire on as well, which we did last year. But honestly, he goes how f**** much 🤣 and it should not be double to last year but can't work it out , to be double would need to be almost 39p a unit.

Here is my result for tea, it was nice and using the soup is such low syns, but when i took it out to put the potato on top it was not thick, so i added about 3/4 tbsp cornflour , 1.5 syns so worked out 3 syns for the whole thing.


Cabbage, carrots and potato still from Christmas, broc and cauli i got from company shop the week between xmas and new year for 20p , so cheap dinner again

I'm still using the Christmas veg too @bubbs. Just potatoes tonight but have got loads prepped in the freezer too.

Is cornflour 2 syns a tbsp? I've always counted 1.🤔

Maman, didn't freeze any of my veg!

1.5  a tbsp

That’s crazy about your electricity @bubbs. I too wondered if it was due to DH being retired but then again, he’s with you at the unit so not like he’s sunning himself at home! Can you check the meter reading is correct? Our water board claimed we were using 100,000 units more (ie filling an Olympic sized swimming pool) when DH looked at the meter they’d transposed the first two numbers 🙄

Dinner at the pub - I chose salmon on crushed new potatoes, ratatouille and king prawns. I had a rum n coke and a small glass of white wine. Had a jasmine tea instead of pudding. Mainly alcohol syns but no others today. 

Sorry your meal was disappointing @joedenise you should try our local!!

Coxy yes figures correct, it;s just weird, i will speak to some neighbours and see if theirs have more or less doubled, we all have the same supplier and price.

Tea sounds lovely Coxy
