    I don't buy special boxes for the freezer I just use old marg pots which usually is enough for two (or one very large portion!). If you don't have enough pots put a freezer bag in it and then once frozen you have a nice stackable shape and can re-use the pot :D

    I would recommend labelling things properly, I don't and we have had some interesting dinners!

    I got some decent tubs from poundland before the summer. Thye've been fine for use in freezer and microwave. Think there were 3 in the pack.

    Have a good evening with the Mr ;)
    One step at a time ;)

    What a great idea!!! I never have enough pots and it puts me off making batches of soup (well, that and a lack of time!). I never make huge batches anyway as my pans aren't huge so this would be perfect!! Oh no, just talked myself out of the last valid excuse.......

    I blame you entirely, I managed to get the six month love film subscription when it came back up again yesterday.

    Might do a free trial first though and then use it ;).

    I got everything done on my list apart from making up the bed in the spare room - but my friend doesn't arrive until Thursday so there's still time :D

    The new hoover is fricking amazing, the carpet in the hall has never been so clean :rotfl: The rest of the house is getting done tomorrow!

    Mr Fresian is back home :j and brought a cheque from his mum to pay for our last vet bill (The £70 one, not the one for nearly £600 ;)) and gave me £100 cash of the money she gave him and told me to use it for whatever I want. I'm entirely torn between sensible DFW pursuits and Crafting Goodies. Someone advise me!!

    I think that tomorrow will be another NSD as the weather isn't great and I want to relax in the house. I plan to do very little tomorrow to make up for all the housework I suffered through today.

    Bedtime now in Fresian Towers. Night all :)

    Clearly the cash needs to be utlisied in the most MSE way possible which means purchasing craft goodiness thusly ensuring you will be shut in the craft room pottering away throughout the pre and post x-mas sales which will save you a fortune. Simples.

    That's the kind of sensible advice I was looking for :D
