I'm really, really :mad: this morning, I sell eggs at the gate and someone has not only taken them all but has broken the dog cage I use to put the eggs in which keeps the squirrels out. From the shape of it (it's bolted down) I think they have also tried to wrench off the bench. Also they have managed to get into the money honesty box (also bolted down) and broken it. - and I live well and truly in the sticks!!!! The cost of replacing everything well exceeds the profit I make on £1 for 6 fresh, organic free range eggs, after I've fed, bedded, and wormed etc, makes you want to give up.
OUT freezer
casserole meat
parkin
rest is from fridge0 -

Awwww hugs, that's awful.Slimming World at target0 -
Oh zafiro I am so sorry. We have a local person who sells eggs, kindling, flowers, veg etc. with just a little tub out for money. I'd hate the idea of anyone taking it.
Used the leftover chilli and rice for lunch. Will use the half onion and half tin of tomatoes in the fridge left from yesterday for tea. Happily the nausea from the medication has passed.0 -
That's terrible Zafiro! It's so upsetting that someone would destroy all your hard work like that. I'm sure all the people who have enjoyed being able to buy your lovely fresh eggs would be gutted for you too.0

How upsetting for you zafiro. I used to sell veg seedlings out front until someone took the lot plus the table and the money pot. We also had our potted Christmas tree taken Christmas 2015 - we had only moved it round the front ready to put the lights on it and there it was, gone.

Oh, zafiro, how annoying and upsetting!
My friend once gave her lovely yucca plant a bit of TLC, then put it outside on the front doorstep for a while, thinking a bit of fresh air would do it good. When she went to get it in, of course it had gone.
When there's wanton destruction as well.......terrible.Keeping three cats, the car and myself on a small budget, and enjoying life while we're at it!0 -
Oh my goodness there are some really quite vile people - so sorry to hear your news Zafiro. How awful.
I'm sure that if folks were desperately hungry or just didn't have the means to buy your eggs (which at £1 for 6 is more than reasonable) they wouldn't have damaged the cage and stolen your money too. I imagine it would make you fizzing mad.
IN: yesterday's lo chilli con carne into freezer; lo x2 portions of chicken and bacon traybake to fridge
OUT: small chunk bacon, brie, several mushrooms, carrots, brocolli (all fridge), tinned sweetcorn
NSD #6 achieved today but some top up shopping needed tomorrow - list includes bread, milk, eggs, cream, salad stuff, icing sugar, cumin, coriander, beer (OH home at the weekend). Not a huge amount required and hopefully enough to get through the weekend and up to Thursday next week (depending on dates for cream, milk etc) - although may need bread before then?
Hope all is well with everybody x0 -
Grrr. Takeaway last night. Half price due to a mix up in their last order, but still unnecessary.
I'll parcel up the leftovers - at least 3 portions for the weekend.
We postponed our meal out to tonight. So I'm eating Wednesday night leftovers for lunch. Not sure what DH will be having but I'll find something that needs finishing off no doubt.Goals - Weight loss 6/26lb at 22nd Jan 18Mmmm. 26lb at 1/7/18. Oops:o0
