    Evening ladies


    Valli - You are definitely mad and obviously fit in well here :rotfl:

    RebekahR - love the flylady Olympics - unfortunately I collect undies (well it seems like I do) and have about 50 sets having chucked all the rubbish. But I do have a few granny pants for when Auntie Flo visits :o

    You think?

    and Kazmeister - are the granny pants for her - or for you - and if they're for you - does she INSPECT what you're wearing? Or is Auntie Flo a euphemism - if it is it's a new one on me!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:Mind you , at one time I worked in a very male dominated environment and learned some charming phrases - if I was 'under the weather' :eek: or tetchy :mad: I'd be asked if I had the painters in!

    :eek::eek::eek::eek: !!!!!EEEEKKK!!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek:

    I think I'm under some sort of DNS attack. Or at least someone else is but the perp has typed in the wrong email address!! I had a little episode earlier today when around 2000 emails suddenly turned up at my company website address all as a bounce back to the mistyped email address saying the email address typed in. I deleted them all.

    They've suddenly started up again. Apparently there are 11000+ (yes, that's eleven thousand plus!) of them. I deleting them as fast as I can but they're coming in at about 5 per second.

    My provider doesn't give support over the weekends. I'm worried that if I don't continue to download it'll cripple their email server.

    What do I do??????

    Valli - heres a copy of something I've posted a few times re meal plans hope it helps

    I now meal plan as follows
    1 x Roast day
    1 x Pasta day
    1 x Rice day
    1 x Meat day
    1 x Fish day
    1 x Snack day
    1 x Other day

    This gives us a variety and you will soon build up loads of different things to do (I have just recently checked my old lists and found that the max amount we have had 1 dish is 6 times in 15 weeks)

    I start with the roast (using what I have from the freezer) as usually I can get another meal for the 4 of us (2 kids 8 and 15). So roast pork on Sunday becomes sweet n sour pork eg on Tuesday (which would become Rice day) so thats 2 days done and to the shopping list I have added veg, a jar of sweet n sour sauce ( i use Sharwoods small jar with no bits in) and maybe a pineapple (as hate tinned). Then I find something from the freezer to fill in one of the other days and then only add things to the shopping list that we havent got. To me its a really easy plan to follow and it seems to work and I dont do anything too complicated. Snack day is usually planned around when we have to rush out to sports clubs etc and need something quick.

    Heres some ideas
    Roast - Chicken, Pork, Beef. Lamb, Turkey
    Pasta - Spag bol, Macaroni cheese, Sausage pasta, Pasta Carbonara,
    Meat - Cold roast, chips n beans, Pork chops, Lamb chops, Sausage and Mash. Sausage casserole, Shepherds or Cottage pie (made by mincing leftover roast), Toad in the hole, Beef casserole (with dumplings) Liver & Bacon, Spanish Stew, Steak Pie n veg.
    Fish - Fish fingers, Tuna/Tomato stew, Grilled Rainbow Trout (both kids love it), Fish cakes, Pan fried cod with HM chips or mash, Fish casserole.
    Rice - Chicken Curry, Sweet n Sour, Chilli con Carne (mild for kids) Kebabs with a rice salad, Kedgeree or anything served with rice
    Snacks - Sausage Pasta, Hot Dogs, Pizza, Tortilla wraps, Fish n Chips, Omelette, Chicken and Ham rolls, Burgers, Quiche, Jacket Potatoes, Salad
    Other - Can be a duplication of any other day, a takeaway, Meal out, or leftovers from the fridge/freezer.

    Have also bought a Remoska about a month ago and both OH and I love it, makes cooking dead easy, just chuck stuff in and leave to bake

    I know we can block certain email addresses to the PC but not sure whether they then stay on their server. If you could do that you make it a bit easier for yourself.
