I refuse to go further than the bins between now and Monday if there really is going to be a storm.

Lol you and me both! I was even planning to go to the bins in the morning before it gets too bad. Best hope your Grandma doesn't decide she wants any more shopping!

I am supposed to be finishing the painting and I've run out of paint this evening - will just have to wait till Tuesday as I'm not going out in it till then. Am thinking of moving the huge pet run further away from the living room window if poss tomorrow just in case, got a big tree in the road outside the flats. Hoping it's not as bad as '87.

Hi MsNight Ryder hope you're well.. did I see you mention a maggot :eek:

Well no I don't regard veggie as a punishment - I was vegetarian when he met me It's just that I don't regard meat at virtually every meal as particularly healthy, we don't need that huge amount of protein unless body-building.

No freezer movements planned for today. Got OH taking fence down today as rickety and he can repair and then put back next weekend - better than risking it being flattened !

If the storm really causes damage OH will be hugely busy Monday - if he can get to work, that is.

Edwardia:- your Pot au feu sounds interesting, may try that.
What does PITA mean - spent a good few minutes trying to work it out to no avail?

Freezer movements:-
Out 2 pks of veg for soup. I bought several boxes of veg from the wholesaler some months ago, prepared and bagged them up into 'casserole/soup' bags. It was a whole lot cheaper than buying from the supermarket and all I do is get a pack out from the freezer -defrost and use it in a casserole, or if it's for soup, I just cut the pieces into smaller bits - saves on time as well.
The last leg of venison from 2012/13
In:- some turkey soup when it's cooled down

Just looking out of the window at the trees bending over in the wood at the bottom of the garden - scarey, really scarey :eek::eek::eek:

Hi everyone not posted on this challenge since earlier in the year but due to possibly losing my job decided I better watch the pennies so did a list beginning of last week. Somehow have managed to spend over £50 2 months in a row despite loads of coupons (saying that over 50% of my shopping was paid with coupons etc so totals wd have been higher)
Target this week- no spends as stocked up on soya milk and loaf of bread in fridge
Nov- I hope to go a couple more weeks without buying at all then do a farm foods shop nearer middle of month
Re diabetic food- I tend to go more low GL rather than gi, I think that works well for me plus soya milk lite(in tea) or green for cereal as its lower in fat/suger than red

In to freezer - nothing.
Out of freezer - HM Quiche + muffin.
We had HM steak pie + roast potatoes/parsnip + carrots, leek, swede + gravy for dinner.
