I did have a banana, two pieces of cake, 2 packets of crisps, 2 ice creams, and a packet of mortadella

Nutritious!

I really can’t be arsed

@Sexnotgender Six by Nico is doing home delivery if that's nearby?

Daffodil55 · 08/05/2020 13:33

I have eaten too much bread. Usually I can go several days without thinking about bread but lately I eat it every day. The reason is bananas! Banana sandwiches are irrisistable to me but I don't use any spread or butter. I used the last banana yesterday so am determined not to buy more (or bread!).

On the plus side I have eaten masses of vegetables and stir fry with my own low fat versions including turkey breast which is (I think) the meat with the least fat.

I love this thread of like minded people.
For breakfast I had a left over fishcake, I have picked on a few doritos and had 2 chocolate biscuits.

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 08/05/2020 13:37

Oh yes! Cooking or assembling anything vaguely resembling a decent meal is far to much effort right now! I’m in N London so a decent amount of takeaways are open (not just greasy stuff) but I want home cooked food...but not cooked by me!

Daffodil55 · 08/05/2020 13:37

I wasn't going to mention this but about 4 feet away from me is an unopened large box containing a Smartie easter egg. I bought it at half price just after easter and knew as I put it in my basket I shouldn't have.

Promising myself if I have 5 days sensible eating and no bad stuff I will open the box. Not managed it yet.

Today I have eaten a ploughman's sandwich washed down with 2 fruit ciders yes I know it's only 1.30 however all homework has been overseen dinner for tonight is in the slow cooker kids have eaten and are now having fun valeting the cars or spraying each other with the hose pipe I'm not going to feel to bad over it

Inextremis · 08/05/2020 13:40

I love cooking, but yesterday I had a bacon sandwich for brunch, and some French bread and cheese for dinner. Oh, and two jam doughnuts. Just wasn't feeling like bothering with anything more exciting/nutritious. Today, I've had a lemon yoghurt. Planning burgers for dinner.

WrongKindOfFace · 08/05/2020 13:55

I hear you. I don’t actually mind cooking but I hate the Relentless thinking of meals and shopping. Particularly at present as I’m still working full time and having to bloody queue is a pain. And sorting packed lunches - usually have school meals but the school kitchen is closed so I’m having to get extra stuff in for that (they are offering a school packed lunch but dc not impressed.)

I was delighted to learn that one of my favourite restaurants is now doing delivery so I’m going to treat us one night.

TheThingWithFeathers · 08/05/2020 14:03

I'm practically living on bread and cheese just now. I bought a pizza for tonight so I can have hot bread and melted cheese for a change! Grin

ihearttc · 08/05/2020 14:07

I’m sick of cooking as well. DH has got a new bbq(bought from Tesco whilst food shopping before anyone complains) and he is cooking tea tonight, tomorrow and for the foreseeable future to give me a break!

Pinkarsedfly · 08/05/2020 14:08

Humous and oatcakes for lunch with a handful of cherry tomatoes. Very virtuous.

Then I made a cup of tea and ate a packet of sesame snaps and five shortbread biscuits. Five.

Doidontimmm · 08/05/2020 14:08

I hate cooking but am enjoying it just now but then all 4 of us taking turns cooking fab meals!

DontGoIntoTheLongGrass · 08/05/2020 14:11

I got party food for tonight consisting of pizza, dippers, mozzarella sticks, loads of cakes, Pringles, crisps, chocolates. Only 3 of us but can't wait to eat it Grin we're fasting until nearly 9 tonight so party at 9!

Badassmama · 08/05/2020 14:12

Breakfast was a couple of hotel chocolate truffles and an orange juice and A couple of plums for lunch so far..
Meanwhile, I made banana pancakes from the BlW cookbook for my baby’s breakfast and did him some sausages with roast parsnip, cucumber and humus for his lunch.
🙈🙈🙈

Currently eating a jar of crunchy peanut butter by the spoon.

FamilyOfAliens · 08/05/2020 14:44

I meal plan and do 95% of the cooking anyway, so for me it’s just business as usual. I’m actually really enjoying making different soup with the veg in our veg box, as well as different cakes, now I’ve found a supplier of flour who delivers for free.

But we do have either Dominos pizza, curry house or Thai about once a fortnight. Which is just as well as it was my birthday last week and I sure as heck wasn’t cooking on my birthday!

GiraffeWithSwag · 08/05/2020 14:47

I’ve had a morning drinking tea whilst holding a knife in one hand and open jar of Nutella in the other....

changeofname890 · 08/05/2020 14:51

I had a whole chocolate orange for my lunch yesterday, kids are living on fishfingers, chips or pizza. They're loving it but I really can't be bothered to cook!

homeschoolmyarse · 08/05/2020 19:50

Cucumber sandwiches and pimms!

I had 4 Kit Kats for lunch yesterday. Only 2 finger ones mind, not 4. I'm not a savage.

Wineinthegarden · 08/05/2020 20:10

I am so glad to find this! I have been looking at all the lovely VE teas on Facebook and feeling very sad and jealous. I had cheese and biscuits.

tiredanddangerous · 08/05/2020 20:17

I’ve had 3 gin and tonics and a big bag of kettle chips for dinner. I might take a vitamin pill in a bit.
