    I'm terrible with use by dates - I'm always worried I'm going to kill someone...! Probably my OCD, as well. If you don't post tomorrow - we'll know you ate it and it wasn't good..!

    Haven't felt too well today. Bad tummy aches (the ones that make you double over in pain), feel like rubbish, and oddly enough I keep forgetting everything I'm about to do. Obviously an off day. OH has said he will make dinner so, I'm going to have a bath and try and chill out for the night. The stress is obviously catching up with me from the last 4 weeks. Will make an effort and empty the WM and have a quick tidy up in the lounge and kitchen. My wings need to cleaned anyway and of course I'll have to let them out to dry so, won't be able to do any flying after that until tomorrow.....!

    Have a good night everyone. Ash xx

    yes I usually go with the sniff test for food.
    I rarely eat prawny things but if they smell even remotely suspect I'll bin them. Thanks for the advice. Don't need to be chucking in the night when DH still not here.
    THey look yummy though so I hope they are ok.

    Right popping out to early weightwatchers, will report back later.
    I've been very good over the last couple of days and not eaten anything naughty at all :)

    I'll update our weight loss thingy tonight if anyone wants to PM me their losses over the last 3 weeks. I've been try9ing to catch up with the posts I missed while away but its a losing battle LOL
