Thank you skint :happyhear....

Kerri, Slm the pizza dough was a success:j it tasted yummy scrummy! I goggled a recipe for thin pizza (as I've already moaned about in previous posts I get IBS from thick pizza dough ) and I was fine with it :T I made enough for about 10 people though, oops. I must learn to portion things correctly if i want to stick to my budget good news is ds1 has 3 large pieces for lunch tomorrow now :rotfl:

Robin tenant is kind of up to date as she is always a month in arrears because of housing benefit paying a month in arrears, so technically she's all paid up if you look at it like that :T she will be late on the 25th September if she hasn't paid anymore! The military style [STRIKE]bootcamp[/STRIKE] childminding went well I stuck to my timings and was in the right place at the right time, doing the right things :rotfl: it was pretty easy today as my friend come to collect at 5:15 :T although we ended up chatting until 6:30 :rotfl:

Tomorrow she is dropping at 8:30 so I only have them for 15 mins before leaving. She wants to drop them early next week as she has a meeting so is making up the time here to balance it all out. I wouldn't have minded having them early next week anyway, but I won't argue with her over it

DS1 had a good first day back :T think the large school is a little overwhelming at the moment but thankfully he is a senior now as the school only goes up to 16 so I think this helps. DD had a fab day too she told me she loves school :smileyheaI wish they felt like this all the way through school, eh!

Spag bol for dinner tomorrow, pizza was a success especially as 2 were supposed to be fussy eaters (who doesn't love pizza when they are small eh, aside from me I never ate it :rotfl:but i'm odd) and I will stick it in the slow cooker so no cooking in the afternoon aside from spaghetti. They were also all starving when their mum came to collect them which made me look bad so i'm going to put a banana loaf in the oven tomorrow morning (or maybe tomorrow afternoon with the smaller 2 kids to help mix...) as i honestly had fed them loads and then they all went to their mum 'i'm so hungry' :eek::rotfl:blighters! Mine did it too so I wonder if it was just the first busy day back at school?!

i normally make a batch of pizza dough and freeze half in clingfilm for next time - might help with budget and time

Oh good tip! So I just let it cool down, wrap it up and freeze it? Then the next time just de-freeze and roll out ready to cook? (sorry am not the greatest cook in the world ) we had so much left today we ate loads over what we should have may have been the right amount if dh was home though. But I will do the freezer thing from now on :T

yep thats all i do

Or if you make too much cooked pizza, just freeze it in a ziplock bag and serve for lunches

Sounds like you've had a fab day, and much better than yesterday too hurray.

DGD2 does this all the time too, it doesn't matter how much I've fed her, she insists that she is starving when I take her home. I think her DM thinks that I don't feed her. I used to think she was mixing thirst for hunger but now I just think it's habit

glad you had a good day
