I'm going to be naughty.... Sweet and Sour Pork balls from the Chinese and Special Fried rice.

DH is away, he's definitely not sticking to the diet....

 

[JuFer]

We're having left-over stew today but I'm not actually fancying that at the moment at all - may end up investigating the freezer for some alternatives...

 

[4magpies]

Mmmm chinese... I havent had one for ages.

I usually have a chicken kebab when we get take aways cause its semi healthy.

Magpies - food shop, ugh! We do a big one monthly and as pay day is approaching on Tuesday that means it'll be time to go shopping some time mid next week. Woop-de-doo!

Dragonhawk - mmmmmmmmm enjoy your sneaky chinese!!

1 hour 15 to go and it looks like I'll be working late from home tonight as this bid I have to finalise for tomorrow still hasn't been sent to me to work on. Deep, deep joy.

Monthly?! Wow, we just do weekly and spend about £60/70/80 on just 2 of us...

If I did it on my own I could save us loads of money. Its him thats the bad 'un.

Yummy dinners!! xx

 

[Carreg]

Yeah, we do end up topping up on milk and fruit and stuff through the month but we spend around £100 between us on the big monthly shop, plus £12 on the monthly organic veg box and whatever little top ups we do (not usually that much), we're quite economical! I tend to plan in advance most meals for the month, though not necessarily which days we'll have them, so we only buy what we need. We don't usually buy crisps/chocolate/cakes or anything as I bake my own or we have fruit for dessert if we have dessert. We buy free range & organic most things and shop in Tesco for our main shop and Co-Op or Tesco for our top ups.*shrugs*

Just want today to be over with now and not have to work late

[JuFer]

You're very well organised carreg!!! we tend to do our grovery shopping once a week as well and always end up buying too much and often end up throwing things away

 

[Carreg]

I do try JuFer! All I really want to do is be an old-fashioned housewife, stay at home and look after my kids and my man and run a house and plan meals and cook and bake and do chores! If only I could afford to do that!!

Hey ladies, can I join you pwetty pwease?!
I'm Chele and NTNPing my second. Thinking off TTCing in March next year so just going with the flow at the mo and seeing what my body does - i have PCOS so it's a bit haywire to say the least.

Wish I'd not actually read this thread. All I can think about now is chinese takeaway

 

[Carreg]

Welcome chele!! Your little man is gorgeous, so cute!

Know what you mean about the chinese takeaway...can't stop thinking about it myself now!!

[chele]

Thank you, I agree he is!! Haha
Just noticed your cute avatar!!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm crispy shredded beef with chilli. Eeek

 

[Carreg]

mmmm don't...crispy beef is one of my favourites. We always get crispy shredded beef, crispy duck & pancakes and sweet & sour chicken balls! I have made crispy shredded beef at home myself a few times and it is even better than from the takeaway! Gah, I wish I had beef in the freezer now so I could make that tonight!!
