Wednesday 5th January

Breakie - None ... didn't get up till 12pm

Lunch - Tin Be Good To Yourself Tomato and 3 bean soup - 6pp

pear
satsuma

Tea - Baked smoked river cobbler & stir fry it was quite a big fillet. I didn't weigh it but 120g is 2pp & I'm sure it wouldn't have been more than 180g so I'll count 3pp & think I'd better count 1pp for the fry light.
ww yog 1pp

Bottle wine 18pp

Up to now .. 28pp xx

Pack of Tesco finest beetroot (yes a PACK!) supposed to be 0pp but I'm not convinced x

Edit to add. 4 Finncrisp crispbread 2pp, houmus 2pp

Total 32pp so 3 from 'lush' fund leaving 46 x

Thursday 6th January

Breakie - 2 weetabix, blueberries, splenda & skimmed milk - 4pp

Lunch - (out) - Split pea & ham soup (I think it had potatoes in it too ) with the crusty outside of a roll .. I'm guessing at 10pp for the lot, please correct me if you think I'm underestimating.

banana

Tea - Baked chicken breast with chives, veg - 4pp

ww yog 1pp

wine - 18pp

Total = 37pp so 8 from lush fund today (up to now) leaving 38 x

Edit - slice milk loaf - 1pp ... 1 more from 'lush' fund leaving 37 xx

Further edit - Amaretto - 4pp from lush fund leaving 33 x

 

[JanD]

FYI - Weightwatchers tikka masala sauce (3pp per half jar) and roasted garlic sauce (2pp per half jar) 89p in Aldi this week. They also have the tikka one in Sainsbury's on offer for £1 at the mo xx

 

[SandraB]

Sounds like a good day Jan! Aren't blueberries great with cereal? Trouble is once I open the pack I just have to eat them like sweeties! Same with cherry tomatoes....

 

[summergurl]

Well mrs, baxters pea & ham soup (that contains potatoes too) for the whole can - 415g - is only 6pp. With the outside of a crusty roll i'd guestimate that at probably 3pp so i reckon you are overestimating!!

Thanks for the aldi offers, i'm out and about tomorrow so might just pop and get some. x

 

[JanD]

I'm not too bad with either of them but last night when I opened that packet of Beetroot they were little tiny ones and really nice so ended up eating the lot xx

 

[JanD]

Oo thanks for that Tan - as long as I'm not underestimating that's great xx
