You are always so creative with your meals. I find I constantly make the same food. Either fajitas, spag bol, mince and tatties, chilli or sausage casserole. Apart from the odd curry I make I can never really think of much else. I find it gets so boring. I like seeing what you’re going to make because it gives me some good ideas. When is your OH back missy? Xx

Ah thanks sugar, I used to be like that, everything was either using mince or chicken. But I went vegan for a while last year and had to be creative with meals as I wasn't cooking seperately for me so had to make meals tasty enough that OH would eat them. So pretty much all meals are veggie, we eat veggie sausages and soya mince, makes life easier because you can cook from frozen. We're not eating vegan now, but pretty much veggie, although do have some burgers and salmon in the freezer from when they were really reduced. I've also had to be creative as I'm trying to find meals small ones will eat, so a lot of meals involve just putting ingredients together I know they will eat. Or swapping ingredients out that they won't eat for ingredients they will. I love cooking. Oh and OH doesn't eat Gravy, so any casserole, stew or gravified pie etc is out!! V annoying, again so it's necessity creativity as opposed to want to do it lol. Sorry rambled on there lol.

OH is away for another 3-4 weeks I think. I miss him, especially the company in the evenings.... But shopping is cheaper at least. I'm trying to work out a budget for when he's home..... It's hard to guage.

Trying to sort the clean washing mountain, my god there's a lot! 'Sigh' we're still all In our pyjamas.

How ar ebay sales comimh on? Xx

Oooh lovely, feel like we should have got out and about today, feeling a little stir crazy! Children are more than happy though so it's just me, maybe I'll open a window get some fresh air and plan to go out tomorrow.....

I've turned off notifications to eBay sales, as don't want to know the total, but I think they're around £19..... Lots of watchers though so we'll see, have found lots more stuff to eBay whilst tidying, although don't really want to have to pay fees for more than 20 items! Will definitely list the other 9 things for free tomorrow. Will do an update with how im getting on making the £200 on Monday.

Yep think we will Probably have eaten about 40 bsnanas at least between the 3 of us!
