    I am really pleased with the progress today actually!! I made 6 portions Spag bog, 6 Chicken madras and 6 irish stew, actually ran out of tubs since I have 4 portions of chilli in the freezer and 3 of Tuna pasta salad in the fridge for DS lunches this week.

    Am in the process of placing a Mr T order, have a coupon for £10 off WYS £30 so I am doing just that...spending £30 and then going up to Mr T's on sat with a tenner and an eye on the yellow labels lol :cool:

    when I reordered the TV the other day after sorting out the fraud team at the CC company, I managed to bag another couple bargains...a coat stand, white, lovely, will look great in the hall type thing, down to £9 on Tesco direct, £9 I tell you!! down from £38, I was super chuffed!!:T:T

    Anyhoo, Im off to finish my order! x

  • Ooops, forgot to add my list for today...

    scratchies
    sort ironing
    change beds
    do one review
    pack and send ebay items (x2)
    build coat stand
    30 minutes on the wii


    As you can see, because of the ginormic amount of food I made last night, there is no need for me to do any cooking tonight...yippee!

    I am becoming more organised I think which is a very big plus point, but with OH on backshift just now, I am getting a bit muddled, and soooooooooooooo tired. I wish I had nothing planned for tomorrow, but I do, so its pretty much tough!

  • Well done Kirsten ! You saw a possible slide and did something about it ! I think it's so easy to drift back in to our bad habits.

    Impressed with you cooking spree, I too, when in the mood, enjoy being in the kitchen, music on, creating food not always as successful as I'd like !

  • Reason why I love our local Chinese takeaway, they serve their food in those rectangular plastic microwaveable tubs with secure lids. They are ideal for left overs and batch cooking to freezer. Dishwasher safe too and FREE !

    Sad aren't I ?

    Re ironing, any jammie dodgers ? Or jaffa cakes ?

    I've rather gotten out of the habit of batch cooking.....I really ought to get my freezer sorted and get cooking. OH is working odd shifts for the next couple of weeks and I bought a supply of ready meals for him to take to work and heat up in the microwave there - but really, I should have had batch cooked stuff for him to take.......
