:rotfl:

Alice is asking me to "count in the cupboard". I think she just likes looking at all the food when I do a stock check.

Thanks for all your birthday wishes. I had a really lovely day

must buckle down and get what I am supposed to get done, done

had a fair few days now just tootling around living the life of riley

Weezlie, the test website is coming along grand. I am noticing lots of updates going on in dropbox. I'll have another little look at it later

one of the friends at my birthday dinner said how lovely the onion tart was, and a second friend was intriqued and wanted the recipe, then both friends wanted the recipe for the tomato and olive pie - more recruits - yay

I find, weirdly, that Co-op is the best for bargains. We pop over from work at lunch times and there are almost always sausages, meat, salad items and milk etc on at least half price.

I've invited everyone I have an email address for to join a dropbox folder to have a look at kitty's new site.

I didn't get an invite

ps susan, fergies speech is getting better, I think he has 9 words now, so I'm really pretty positive he'll not get referred at the 18 month check. He's 18 months on 5th september

That is brilliant news! What are his words? Mum, Dad, Kez, Pate, lentils, liver, marrowfat, calzone, pasta?

Sounds like Allegra is a bit like weezl and always needs to keep busy. i'd be putting my feet up if i were DD-free for 3 weeks!

To be fair, it was between Flylady and Kitty, and no disrespect to the flyladies, but Kitty was way tastier Plus we need to eat no matter what, whilst the house being slightly rough around the edges won't kill anyone, so it's not like I'm taking on all that much extra

Weezl, I have all the info needed, and most of it is posted on this thread already - I just need to link to it. What is needed for the testers (but please, folks, pipe up if I've forgotten anything) is

the mealplan

the shopping list - monthly

the shopping list - weekly

batch cooking info (also contains the list of all dishes) very basic atm, but it does contain the info necessary; I need to tidy it up when I know what I'm doing !

the recipes
breakfast recipes
lunch recipes
dinner recipes
snack recipes

So you don't need to do anything at this stage unless you want to - remember, I am doing this to give you the time to do all the clever techy stuff at your leisure, not to rush or harass you further !)

lovely bit of feedback from another board here:

And in case you missed it, more from the same contributor, re CFR:

This is a fantastic link, thanks Mrs Jojo!

This is the sort of thing I'm looking for, I have no idea how to meal plan, I have minimum money and have no idea what to cook. To print a shopping list out, buy it and cook what they tell you too is perfect!

That's how I get a lot of good deals too (except I'm not popping over from work). Ours usually reduce things further at around 8pm so I often check out what they've got and then send OH in the evening to get things even cheaper.
