If You Fail To Prepare, You Prepare to Fail

That's definitely not much fun! At least you didn't use up weeklies on it though :) x

I know! I can choose from my Iceland Haul for those little beauties ;-) x
 
I, Serena, can officially declare that I am in love with Iceland and am not afraid to say it!

Just been and got my Monthly Shop, all of this for £17.99...

View attachment 142523

BUT I had a £3 Coupon so it only cost me £14.99!

So pleased with myself and know we will eat well for ages now! Yey me! X

What are the cheese and onion things at the top and how many points please? x
 
Great stuff there, Iceland is full of cheap but tasty stuff.

I like a Mediterranean veg pack they do. It's courgette, mushrooms, onions, peppers. Totally cheating. But great to have in the freezer for when there is no veg left. I tend to throw it in salad and pasta type work lunches. Or with some rice.

I also used to like the carrot and swede frozen mash. Also cheating. But you just throw a few pre mashed cubes in the microwave and it was so tasty. I think that one was free aswell as there was no extra ingredients. Not been in a while though...it's 2mins up the road from my work but my work doesn't have a freezer. I'd have to finish early ;)

You eating any of that for tea tonight?

How many days or meals will all that lot do you? I looked for the veg and rice the other day and couldn't find it :( bought the Mediterranean veg though as it's low in pp and a bag of chicken fajita. Tom doesn't like fajitas so it's not worth making them for one so the bag of it is perfect for me. Also, where so you find Iceland coupons? I love a coupon x
 
A fantastic shopping spree!!

Impressive isn't it! X

The best way to describe them is like a cheese and onion pasty but with breadcrumbs instead of pastry?!? Super Yummy! 4pp Each. X

I saw the Med Veg pack today but couldn't get it as I'd planned my freezer space and knew there wouldn't be room lol! They don't do the Carrot & Swede Mash anymore, only regular mash. Didn't use any for dinner tonight, but will do the rest of the week! X

So today has been a bit up and down!

The 'up' bit was

-Iceland Shop, for those of you who missed it...

I got all that for £14.99!

-Cath Kidston Phone Cover in the Charity Shop for only 50p, yes 50p!

-Topshop Jeggings in the Charity Shop for only £1!

The 'down' bit was that Poppy took her Year 1 exam today :-( She's been doing so well at school but she just doesn't think she did that well today :-( She was all emotional and tearful, bless her :-( All I could say to her was that I was proud of her and as long as she tried her best, that's all that matters.

Hope everyone has had a fab Monday!

Lots of Love Serena X
