I for one really really dont want you to give up with the project it is so exciting and from all the posts it sounds like a lot of people are already benefiting and are able to shave money of their existing food budget.

I did get to a point the other night when I looked over at my DH and all I could think about was his calcium intake! I have to say we have been married 22 years and its never bothered me before and he seems to be very fit and healthy and not a crumbly bone in sight . It was at that point that I wished we could just concentrate on a subsistence plan that was relatively healthy because its the thought of achieving £100 that really excites me and not if I get enough Omega 3

Weezl your latest plan looks very yummy and man friendly and I for one will definitely be trying it out

please keep going :T:T:T:T:beer::beer::beer::beer:

good oh! £100.53

But I know shirl has leftovers to the value of the 53p

her milk is powdered though

If I double everything as I am feeding 4 men and me does that sound about right to you? DH has made another jug of reconstituted milk as they all like it !!
:j I am so pleased I just gave it to them without asking first?:rotfl:

It would probably be ok now although his lungs might not yet have enough surfactant so he might need a little breathing help, but he would be very likely to be ok. If I were Kester I'd be about to be born tomorrow (I was a bit prem, and have been in a rush about everything ever since :D)

But ideally I'd like him to come on or after March 9th because then he can be born here at home like fergie was, and that is good because hospitals are manky :rotfl:

That would be an excellent choice, seen as it is also my birthday! :j

One word: NOM!

We could eat that here no problems at all. I dont know if I read it right, but does that mean that any fresh fruit and other snacks are gone in order to make the meals more erm ... "normal" :-) ?

Yeah! I actually did a little gasp and disturbed one of the patients when I read this!
Kester can come now we have a meal plan. I reckon even my DH *Bob-alike* would go for this menu plan. (If I didn't tell him about it that is....).

Absolutely fandabby dosie and I'm sitting here grinning like a chump!

well done Weezl. I am very relived, I was at work until 9pm and I kept nipping in to check but no-one posted after BOB for ages and I was biting my nails whilst trying to be productive.

Very jealous of all the water births, that was my plan but just didn't happen that way.
