 Dear all, please do note that not all of the recipes have been updated, so if you're dying to start batch cooking do give me a shout and I'll tell you if I've had chance to update those so far am about 1/3rd of the way through. am about 1/3rd of the way through. Mentally I set myself a deadline of sunday lunch time to do planner and update recipes, so I feel things are progressing well.:beer::beer: Mentally I set myself a deadline of sunday lunch time to do planner and update recipes, so I feel things are progressing well.:beer::beer:
 There are quite a few more snacks than are listed, but we felt it was best not to be too prescriptive about when you ate those
