    Hello all

    Had a lovely lunch at MIL's - roast chicken and all the trimmings and eaton mess for pud.....yums.

    As for dinners, I make up batches of basics that can be adapted.

    Mince with onions/peppers in a tomato sauce - used for Spag bol/pasta bake/lasagne/chilli.

    Sausage meat - I buy in bulk, add onions/herbs/garlic and make into meatballs...I use these with pasta or roast in gravy with dumplings.

    Mixed beans - I buy dried beans, soak/cook/freeze in portions to use in chilli/pasta bake/bean burgers.

    Fishcakes/corned beef cakes (DH allergic to fish)

    Individual pies - I normally use the leftover pickings from the bones after they've been in the stockpot...small amount of meat - lots of stock and veg.

    All handy to keep in the freezer and adapt as needed.

    I can tell this weekend, feeling very drained at the mo.
    I'm not on a massive dose, just 125mgs a day.

    I also have a very low heartrate which has got slower now I'm running a lot.
    It's about 45 - 50 beats per minute.

    I've had quite low blood pressure lately too :(
    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I'm not sure what dose DH is on. His started off very overactive about 16 years ago, then he had it treated and it went underactive :rolleyes:

    Linda, get your tablets babes ;)

  • be careful Linda.

    What's your current other problem Jinky? Are you ok hun?

    pooky-you are far more organsied than me...I made oatmeal raisin cookies with the kids yesterday and banana bread today with bananas I had frozen instead of chucking (of which I was very proud-small steps and all that) i am trying your 'adapted' curry recipe tomorrow in the slowcooker with beef-I bought some dried mango as ALDI didnt have apricots...
