SF's road to mortgage freedom!

Hi SF

Lovely to be popping in on you again

i agree with ljaneyr and beanie - now is the the time for you to do what you want to

i love the little outfit your MIL got and i agree it would be perfect for either boy or girl

i need to get some batch cooking done but need to create space in the freezer first

You have done really well with your list. I have seen a few girl babies in blue outfits lately so definitely think that outfit could pass for unisex. Thanks for risotto recipe too, I will definitely be trying that.

Can you manage 10 mins a day shredding?

Maybe a week eating from the freezer challenge then? it's nice to "see" you back!

The risotto is really tasty and easy and I think today went reasonably well!

Sounds like a good idea

It's payday :j

I've done the biggest account shuffles this morning. I OP'd another £100 this morning so our mortgage now stands at £102,000.00 getting closer to being under 6 figures! In fact, I'm hoping to do another sneaky OP next week before the month is out, but we shall see

I met a friend for coffee this morning at my favourite coffee chain and she paid so my NSD has stayed in tact! I quite like this lady who meets for coffee lark, though I'm feeling pretty tired now so might need a nap this afternoon :rotfl:

I'm going to do some batch cooking this afternoon - I made the chilli yesterday and today I'm going to make a big batch of spag bol sauce to also pop into the freezer shouldn't take me too long once I get started. Any other suggestions for meals I can make for the freezer? I'm thinking maybe something with chicken too? Something that can be heated up relatively quickly

Right, best get on

Sausage pasta bake? Tuna pasta bake?

(We're all about the pasta bakes in this house...!)

Do they reheat okay? Have you got a recipe for sausage pasta bake?

Excellent mortgage news and glad to hear you're enjoying your summer holiday.

Meals: Do you like chilli con carne?

On the other topic of people asking you about being excited about the baby, Mrs K had a lot of this and she was very worried. She was told by a lot of people "there's no need to be scared" etc. but that didn't help her at all. I remember telling one of her friends to stop calling because she was really quite upsetting my wife.

Morning, I'd make some soups as well. Pea soup is easy and has a lovely fresh/clean taste, plus butternut squash - cheap to make but would be good with a hunk of bread as a lunch/snack. If you are feeding little one yourself, healthy snacks/meals like that will be useful.

Making some HM pizza bases and freezing would be useful. It ould only take seconds to slap some toppings on, then cook in a very hot oven.

Good luck, Tilly x x

I've made three batches of chilli which are already in the freezer I just think that the whole process of giving birth and having a new baby is really daunting!

I'd not thought of soups - thank you for that! I'll have a look at some recipes this afternoon is there a particular recipe you use for HM pizza bases?
