Traumatised!!!!!!

Evening all

Today chicken was on offer in Lidl. So off I went, got there early, got my six chickens (rearranged my freezer the other day) , got to till to be told only 2 so stepped to one side to message my mate to see if she was coming, and they swooped, like vultures, trying to take my chickens.  I then moved again and gave my spare ones away to nice polite people. The behaviour of some people is shocking and if we were not living on the dwindling redundancy money I dont think I would bother, but we are, so I do. Must remember to sharpen my elbows next week and join in the scrum with them, everyone for themselves..... or maybe give next week a miss.........

I dont know if it was the trauma of the Lidl trip or the chinese last night but I have only had tea today, chicken with salad. Having a glass of wine, note to self, no wine is better than cheap nasty wine - money saving gone too far again. I need to make my own, I have a home brew chardonnay kit that I havent got round to making. Need to make space and crack on with it. So next year then ;-) now, where's that lemonade.....

Have a good evening.

I've Only Gone and Done It!

Good Evening

I think I can now upload photos on my tablet.  We will see.....

B - I made my slow cooker breakfast. New slow cooker is the perfect size for me and my eldest. There were sausages, egg, bacon, toms and cheese and here it is

Whoo hoo it worked although big, I can live with that lol
L - still full from breakfast
T - sausage casserole with turkey sausages,  onion, sprouts and carrots and for a treat I added stuffing balls, naughy but nice

I have a portion of tea left, think I will freeze it as still have lots of chicken and gammon in fridge for next few days.

Time to start putting kids to bed, have a good evening.

Divine Apparently

Evening all

Is always nice to receive a compliment on my cooking and this morning my eldest told me my omelette smelt divine. How lovely of him and no I didnt share as it also tasted divine ;-)

B - chicken, spicy sausage, cheese and tomato omelette
L - celery sticks stuffed with pate and stilton (not both)
T - gammon with salad

I am really pleased with myself. Today I found a small slow cooker, ideal for breakfasts for me and my eldest, in a charity shop for £5. How perfect is that and it means I can make spicy mince for me when I make the kids bolognaise. Sorted!

I just hope I dont forget to make it!

The Munchies

Evening all

Right now I am struggling. I have the munchies and as I have kids who still have xmas choc left I am really finding it hard. Just had a pack of chilli lime nuts which were lovely but at around 13 carbs for a tiny bag it was a treat also still so much better than the copious amount of chocolate I want to eat. Maybe I will just go to bed lol

breakfast/lunch - huge chicken, cheese, spicy sausage  and onion omelette
tea - piri piri chicken with salad
Snacks - chilli lime nuts

I managed 2 walks today with a tiny bit of jogging on both.

Back to talking myself out of chocolate ;-)

I Give Up......

Evening all

After spending around an hour trying to upload the photo on either my phone or tablet, I have given up and turned the lappy on. 

So, better late than never, here are the pictures of my scotch egg :D

So todays food

B - bacon, sausage and tomato & onion omelette again (not hungry for lunch)
T - roast chicken, broccoli, parsnip, carrot, sprouts and a little bit of stuffing (my treat)

I even managed a bit of a jog today, ok not really a proper jog, just trying to stop Ruby from jumping at my legs by jogging :D

I have prepared the chorizo meatballs for tomorrow so just need to chop a bit of veg, fry meatballs and onion and chuck it all in slow cooker before work.  Get me, organised :p

The Usual Scrum

Evening all

Its Saturday today so off to lidl I popped for half price mince, only 6 as I was alone, but the queue was unbelievable. I arrived at few minutes before the shop opened and there were 20 people in front of me. That then meant everyone pushing and shoving even though there was plenty to go around. So I waited for a space, I really have no intention of joining them, if I wanted to do that I would play rugby. And the worst thing, it's whole chickens half price next weekend. I will be sure to take a sleeping bag and turn up the night before!!!!!

Today's food

B - sausage, bacon and tomato and onion omelette
T - coated chicken with salad, naughty but nice

I even tried a long walk on the beach today to tire the kids and dog's out. The tide was in so we went to the park instead and it seemed so did everyone else

Still not worked out how to post photos from my phone but I have discovered everything I take on my phone appears on my tablet. That's pretty cool

Have a great weekend
