    I am going to meal plan tonight.

    Should be easy, MIL is on the slimfast (which she makes with water, which allows her to have the odd bakewell tart lol), so just me and the tots. And all they seem to want lately is those steamfresh veg pouches with fish fingers, or pasta bolognese, which I have several portions of in the freezer with lots of lovely veg hidden away. So it's just me really. Packed breakfast and lunches are what I need to organise...

    Am at work and really shouldn't be on mse :rotfl:

    In the two HHC I have decluttered the kitchen, emptied and reloaded the DW, sorted paperwork pile, emptied and wiped out the fridge. Just have the worktops to wipe down and the floor to sweep and then I might make a start on todays list.

    Just grabing a cuppa and will be starting again at 11.30 if anyone wants to join in.
