Black-Saturn's Menu Planner

You have given me some good ideas and I am looking forward to trying the fruit cobbler dessert.

Thanks for the effort you put into it.

The bottom line of it is we simply CANT eat fruit. Last time I ate one piece of fresh fruit I was on the loo for a week and thats no joke. You all asked for my meal planner so thats what you got. Now you can all adapt it to the things you like.

Spending loads of money on food is all well and good if you never go out anywhere or take your children out. I can imagine what my children would be like if I said something like "were staying in all through the summer but nevermind because weve got nice organic food, granary bread and freerange meat to eat".

I dont give my children vitamins instead of food. I am really offended by that comment. I give my children Omega 3 fish oil, they have been having it since they were about 2 but no other vitamins at all.

I do smoke but I limit myself to only smoking on a weekend evening. The rest of the time I dont even think about it. If someone offered a cigarrette on a weekday I would refuse!! Even then I smoke about 3 thin roll ups a week which costs about 25p.

I definately wont be posting any more recipes or meal ideas. While I was away on holiday I got accused of being a dole scrounger, malnourishing (?sp) my children, spending more money on fags than I do on food and all sorts.

Please please don't be put off by a few people who should have kept their opinions to themselves. I think your ideas and recipes have been great and would love to read more as, I am sure, do a lot of others. Thanks again for all your efforts.

Black Saturn, those that have criticised you and your food are definitely in the minority and there are so many people that have loved reading your meal plans and the effort it took to put it down on here.
People asked you to put down what you have which you did so they have no right to then jump on you but again like I said, it was a very small minority.
Loads and loads of people have taken parts of your meal plan and adapted bits to fit in with their lifestyles.
The main thing is that you and your kids are happy and healthy and stuff what anyone negative thinks.
So please don't stop, you have helped probably hundreds of people here, remember, not everyone posts to say thanks etc.

I agree totally

Black saturn took time and alot of effort in all her posts ,for that i thank you
alot of us on here have tried the recipes that you posted and adapted others in our own way.

people should not be judged for the way they live their life or raise their kids as we are different .

Penny-Pincher!!

I for one really apreciate the time and effort you put into posting your menu planner and has helped me to provide a couple of cheap puddings a week as your cobbler has gone down a storm!

Damned if you do, damned if you dont comes to mind in this thread. Everyone asked you to post, so you did, then some negative/personal comments were made. You cant win, but these are in the minority of the replies youve had, so please dont stop posting your meal plans.

Ive posted a few times about my weekly shopping spends and have had some weird replies, but I can not justify ATM paying £10 for a chicken when I can buy 4-5 for the same price, or 6 eggs for £1+, when I can get 15 for £1.19 IYKWIM. Its my personal choice, but if others want to buy organic or free range, then they can adjust the costings.

I wouldnt worry about it! Head up, chin up and continue what your doing-your doing a grand job hun!

Hope you had a good holiday.

then some negative/personal comments were made

If you read back through the thread, none of this happened. Other people gave differing opinions on the menu, backing up their views with what they would do in the same circumstances. None of this is an attack on the OP, it's just different views and opinions from different walks of life, which personally I feel added to the thread.

At the end of the day, this is a discussion board not a mass love-in forum. You will always get people who post replies that do not fit in with your own views and opinions. That is what makes the board for me, as it makes you think about situations in a way you may never have thought about before.

I dont object to views and opinions but what I DO object to is someone accusing me of malnourishing my children, spending more on fags than I do on food and being a dole scrounger. And all that took place when I wasn't on the net to defend myself!!

As long as they grow up healthy wellbehaved and confident adults thats all you need to worry about. We all have our own little comforts. I eat Chocolate every now and again, that doesn't mean i'm a bad mum for spending money on sweets rather then the kids.

Those who bad mouth you don't know you, don't worry about it, i've read the thread and can see some really tasty menus on here..keep it up :beer:
