    My mum has done this and they are mmmmmmmmmmmmm.

    In my Uni hols I used to go home to my mum and dad. I didn't pay them anything, but I did clean the house, do the shopping and cook them lovely meals.

    Missed it due to gossiping on the phone with my pal. Curses, was really looking forward to this one. Will wait patiently for it to appear on iPlayer, whilst drinking my MSE Bellini (Lidl Peach juice and Prosecco in my new cocktail glasses).

    Ahhhhh I always wondered who bought Lidl peach juice. I like their juices, but along with a lot of the German fruit juices, some of them are rather thick and gloopy. I now see the point! Hmmmm wonder if I have anything that will pass for Prosecco in the cellar?

    That sounds right if they are all buying individual ready meals zippychick, I guess if they take turns with the cooking and make meals for all 5 of them that will help to bring the costs down. Just the thought of paying a supermarket £50 a week for ready meals makes me want to scream! lol :eek:

    When they mentioned about how time consuming it was I though, 5 of you, cook once each per week, sorted:D

    May I also suggest the pear juice with Prosecco. That's one of your five a day right there. Probably.
