Hi Ames, yes thanks your stuff did help. I think Jade had written down every step of her life and then of course he hardly touched on some subjects. He certainly didnt ask if she could walk unaided to her car and that sort of thing, so I kept saying things and then you feel like a pushy Mum or that it would sound like I was spoon feeding her what to say!!

Difficult to know how it went, so will just have to wait - not nice.

Ames

Woohoo I've just had loads of Quidco stuff received, I've got enough for a payout now!

elfen

Ooooh, so have I Ames. Only a fiver but every little helps. And my mate got back to me, shall be staying the weekend Pint goes away so I'm not all on my lonesome all the time

Ames

I set mine to pay out if it gets to a tenner or more, if it's any less I'll miss it and I want to put it into my new sofa fund.

Getting hungry but not sure I want stew for the 4th day running...

elfen

I wouldn't want stew for the 4th day running either Ames. What have you got in the fridge/freezer/cupboards?

Hi all

Just off in a minute to join up at WW....first meeting and weigh in.

Ames

Elfen, nothing else that's just bung in the microwave/oven till it's done, which is all I'm up to today. I've just ordered a pizza. Next time I'm having a good few days I'm going to have to figure out how to batch cook things like lasagne so I've got a better choice of things.

elfen

Pizza will do ,it's a good food - has carbs, protein, fats and vitamins, so you're covered! Batch cooking - think it's just make a bigger one up (say double or three times the size - then divvy into portions, put in pots then let it go cold then freeze, then bang in micro when needed

Ames even if you don't have the energy to do the batch cooking yourself, you cul buy a huge family lasange and divvy up into smaller portions and freeze. Also if you do a massive amount of mince into a bolognaise mixture you can then freeze an have the option of using it as spag bol, shepherds pie, add beans to make a chilli, use for tacos, buritos, on Jacket Potato, Savoury pancakes...the list is endless. I would suggest getting 2 packs of 500g mince an doing a mahoooosive amount would see you through a couple of months

Lots of 'whooshing' going on on here!

Been shopping with DD2 - nappies, bottles etc and she bought me some milk!
Parents have paid my road tax bless them.
Need to light the fire and decide what to do with my evening - bit cold.

Must check on me cows too!
