    Meal plan done till end of March, bar one weekend when not sure if Mr GG will be here. All SW :T. Even written down ingredients I need & everything. Just call me Tilly :D. Mucho cooking to do today so best get a wriggle on as not going to Mr M in spotty pj's :cool:.

    Beetroot couscous, herby meatballs, creamed spinach, SW quiche & chilli all being cooked today smiley-cooking-emoticon.gif. Bubble & squeak of sweet pots, leeks, brussels and carrots for later, with bacon eating.gif.

    But first - more tea sipping-tea.gif

    So impressed GG. I still struggle to plan more than a day but have added a few SW delicacies into our current boring diet.
    Awesome smillies

    So, that went well :rotfl:. Spent too much time at DS's then friends. Still determined to go ahead. Beetroot couscous made and SW quiche. Mixed meatballs but decided they were too sloppy so the mixture has gone in the fridge. CBA making chilli :o. Did do the bubble & squeak though and it was yummy :T.

    New slow cooker bought off ebay as I wanted black and that's the only place that had it, and £5 cheaper than other colours :T.

    Done not too bad on ebay sales, £30-£35 :T.

    Printer broken :(

    And tomorrow is Monday :(

    Night night

    Thanks for reminding me. Mine come in today. :)
    Must go and do school run now, though, so checking on wages and shuffles etc will have to wait until after work.
