In - nothing so far except possibly milk later for dd2 and a few things off topcashback (plain flour - need to check prices) and mountain dew

Out - Bakewell tart and half pie from pie man. (It's that time of the month so im sleeping alot and eating crap. Thankfully i've been off work W-T-F, but will have to try and sleep tonight and eat better tomorrow) .Planning on using Seitan in fridge today and really.need to put rest in freezer before it goes dodgy. Will have that with roasted fennel which has been in my fridge way too long, roasted parsnip and possibly sprouts from chest freezer if I can find them. DD2 wanted to have a curry but i've forgotten to take the chicken out to defrost. Maybe she can eat the other half of my Vegan Massaman from last night?

Will report back on any ins/outs again soon.

Anyone got any good ideas for what to do with Jerusalem artichokes? I got some in my veg box yesterday and I'm really not a massive fan but I'm not going to waste them. I also got sprouts - our house is going to need the windows open!

Ah yes, known affectionately as fart-bombs in our house

Amazing points haul 117Pauline!! Wowsers.

I nipped in for the few missing things and spent £28.90 which is double what I expected to spend but I went waaaaaaaay off list. Got a few YS at A$da including extra large chicken for £2.92 for the freezer, sandwich meat and a 50p box of own brand cornflakes. Also impulse bought the ingredients for making 3 big jars of chilli jam which goes perfectly with my (ridiculous) brie collection. Wasn't impressed with their price for fabric softener or Kenco so left that off and nipped in to BandM to look at their choices. Ended up buying 220g Cadbury's Highlights Fudge pot (£1.59) and Caramel (marked up £1.59 on shelf edge but scanned through at 49p!). Also 2 pots of 200g instant horlicks for 69p each. Then thought I'd splash out on a bag of choc orange eclairs each at 49p a bag. So STILL need Kenco and fabric softener in the next couple of weeks but no rush.

In: extra large whole chicken (F)
low cal hot choc drinks for me (sugary drinks don't agree with me at all), sweets for kids (I know I said I wasn't going to buy more but epic fail)

Out: x2 large chicken breasts (save 1/2 of one for shredding into tomorrow night tea) - chicken fajita for tea and still not got a lettuce but using grated carrot, red onion, white cabbage and radish salad to go with it.

Excited about making chilli jam tomorrow - ingredients approx £5 but worth it to me as it's lush. (Just Nigella's recipe but with added garlic, tomatoes and red onion so I suppose more like a chutney). Was gutted to realise that I'd left a bag of red chillis at the checkout in A$da - waste of 50p but also waste of chilli into the jam (but loads of dried chilli flakes in the stores).

Off to look for a recipe for making saucy Chinese ribs for tomorrow night tea... Hope everybody is keeping well x
