Well, the buggy has a flat...hoping to get it fixed for not too much. Wondering if I can get the expensive coat and make it money neutral with my ebay sales, which aren't going that well TBH.
Had a great evening last night, actually managed to get out for a dog walk BY MYSELF!!
Watched an old Dr who (Tom Baker) in honour of the woman who played Sarah Jane, with DH.

Very interested in the Sainsburys "feed your family for £50" menus...wondering whether to have a go, but would need veggie option, and DH is prob the only one who would eat it, the kids are sooo darn fussy.

Can you just cook a chicken without doing stuff to it or do you have to remove the insides????

Should be getting CB any day now, might ring them.

If you buy an oven ready chicken you won't have to remove the insides:D. All you'll need to do is give it a good wash inside with cold water, there might be a a few loose bits, or bits of fat to pull off. Once it's drained and dry just cook it in the oven for a lovely roast dinner.

How? I'm being nosy

I love roast chicken and can make it strech to a fair few meals too as long as I hide it from DH who scoffs the lot normally!

Hope your back is feeling better

I'm vegetarian!!

SmlSave

Good reason!

Are the little grateful's veggie too or do you have to cook seperate meals? Do you have any favorite veggie receipes that you'd like to share? I was really good a couple of years ago and only ate meat 1-2 times a week but its definitely gone up again.

gratefulforhelp_2

the little gratefuls are not veggie but we as a household dont eat a lot of meat. Hmmnnn I will think bout recipes...pasta with beetroot and roasted feta is quite nice but thb i have lost all my confidence as a cook, dont know why really.
