    brilliant, thanks Lesley :)

    Shall I email you Dad's spreadsheet, or would that be a retrograde step and too faffy? :)

    didn't your Dad want it in a certain format?

    if so, email away

    another banner question:

    so under where it says family recipes, in place of 'that won't cost...'

    we replace with 'feed a family of 4 for £100 a month!'

    as per arty and QOS feedback?

    I think that would work great, it is our USP and I would love to see it pretty dominant on the site

    I think this is a good idea, especially as the 80p a day is average, rather than exact with the cottage pie being 65p

    the current nutrition shows cals, total fat, protein and carb by each dish and also for the month overall

    I have sat fat on my personal planner for the month overall, sat fat is harder to find for ingreds than total fat

    I can add other nutrition things in relatively easily for the month overall. We have for instance the total amount of the above nutrients, and the %'s for each, to help ensure it was all within guidelines

    breaking it down by recipe would involve quite a bit more work to do it in the spreadsheet, although it could be done using recipecal one by one

    could be worth it if people really want it

    weezl,
    1) sorry we don't have a travel cot :( I wish I hadn't sold the Moses basket now as I'm sure dear Kessie would still fit in it! I wish I could offer you something else, but if there's anything baby related you might need please let me know. We don't have a lot extra but I will happily lend anything I can spare.

    2) Ooooo, if you're at all weirdly interested in science-y body stuff, you MUST go to the Huntarian Museum. It may scare poor Fergie, as it's full of things (read: body parts, mostly) in jars and bones but it's sosososo cool and interesting. And free! It's the museum OF the RCOS so I assume it's near it? Near enough anyway. I would think for a suite-style like that, £240 for the whole weekend is a pretty good rate for super central London. To get cheaper, you'd be harder pressed to find a place with adequate space/facilities for 2 babies, you know? If there weren't 4 of you, I'd offer you our couch! :rotfl:

    3) My HTML skills are verrrrrrrrrrry basic (and very rusty!) but I can have a stab at anything if you need help.

    (sorry for derailing the thread, haha)
