Up to Date ... for a Little While

 

I went through the freezer drawers last week and carefully reorganised everything, putting like with like and checking exactly what I had ... there was a lot of food.  

There always is isn't there, those innocent little drawers are filled to within an inch of their lives, like the best game of Tetris I have ever played ... well I was the Tetris queen when Jason had his Gameboy all those many years ago. 😄

I obviously had all the foods that I have bought or made, and there was already some of the food that we picked up from Mum's and shared between us.

I made an inventory, writing down everything that I now had and which drawer things were in.

I wrote out a few meal suggestions in lieu of a proper menu plan making the best use of some of the things that I had.  Then I ordered the Waitrose food last week, we went to Mum's again and turned off the freezer bringing the last few bits home with us.

Yep, you've guessed everything was squeezed into any available gap the minute we got home so it wouldn't thaw out and now my list, although still quite helpful is not telling the whole story.

I think the first two weeks of December had better be the time for me to eat from the freezer in a bid to make some space and also save myself some money to try and help me keep on budget.  I am determined not to spend more than the cash and the Nectar points that I have left, even though the Christmas adverts are telling us we have to buy, buy. buy.

I don't, don't, don't ...  I want to end 2024 in the black as far as this year long Challenge is concerned.  😀

And talking of Challenges, are there any bloggers up for the Challenge of doing Blogmas this December?  Just one post everyday from the 1st to the 24th or 25th whichever suits how you do Christmas,  it can be about anything ... Christmas related or not.

  I have decided that I am.  🎄
