    I'd be really grateful if people could have a think about arranging the above meals into a 31 day planner. Please pay special attention to 'breadyness' ie try to have the evening meals which are bread based NOT on a day where breakfast is bready (ie have it on a porridge day!)

    If we can between us achieve that today/tomorrow, then I think, fingers crossed kitty's planner could be out there in the week.

    But her shopping list won't be a weekly one, unless someone very clever could work out the weekly list from the meal planner :)

    Hope everyone is having a nice day, and hello to arty and hope you are feeling better?

    We liked Dr Who :)

    Shanks are you ok? Not too overwhelmed with work?

    Aless, hello! Have you calc'd the ww points of any of the other recipes? I know ISOM would be interested (and I really should too, as I have a stone to go before pre-kessie weight :()

    Hi everyone im am fine thanks enjoying the night shift not enjoying the cleaning but am starting to get into a routine and hope things will be fine. On my 4 days off at the moment but working at my other job Tues and Wed but should still be able to catch up on here.
    Arty dont you dare leave. I dont have any kids or a hubby either and have a strange relationship with an ex but that is what is making this project work is that we can show that no matter what your circumstances someone here has them and that the planner works for them. Also as a less experienced cook you ask some very pertinent questions that some of us dont think about and that will be of great value to Shirley. So lets here no more of this nonesence about leaving unless it gets in the way of real life ok?
    Weezl I still have a few things on the to do list when you have time let me know and i will PM them to you.
    Miserable day here but waiting for a dry spell then going to take dog out. Hope everyone is ok xx

    This is a similar recipe. You can leave out the cinnamon and if the recipe shows amounts as cups just click the metric button and then convert so it shows metric weights. One tip I found helpful is to always put the liquid in the tin first then the dry stuff. Just seen you did that. what setting did you use?

    Rapid - 1hr 50mins.

    Arty - I second everyone. I always enjoy reading your posts, you have a great sense of humour and often make me laugh. Please carry on posting, I'll sure miss you if you don't

    Shanks - we were hoping for some of that foul weather to come our way (pref during the night), the garden is desparate, I'm going to have to make with the hose later on. Tunbridge Wells, which is about 17 miles away, had a thunderstorm last night, we didn't get a sniff

    Hi lesley :) How did the nut roast go?

    Allegra! I see you lurking! Welcome home :) I missed you

    Shanks, glad you're ok and not too exhausted :)

    Would you mind posting my 'do list' on here, cos it'll prompt folks memories of other stuff that needs doing/save people telling us twice :)
