    That isn't batch cooking, that's a full on batch feast! I only manage 20 portions of bolognase that I then spend the next month forcing down in boredom.

    Well done on your batch cooking


    I did try batch cooking on a grand scale a couple of times, but I didn't take to it, so I have every admiration for you!

  • Very well done Watty. That is one of the things that I have always wanted to do but never got round to. I have made clothes washing liquid to last six months though!
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    We are too dirty to manage this :rotfl:
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    I get the MK joy thing.
    Went shopping for a kettle today as lid broken on old one and we have both had small boiling water accidents. Only a matter of time ..so shopping.
    A kettle is just a kettle thought I until I saw "it"
    "It" being The Heston Blumental Sage Compact Pure Glass kettle
    I love it :heart:


    :rotfl: its just a kettle but I love it!
    And JL vouchers that had been waiting to be used covered the price :j

    Nice kettle :) Our water is monstrously hard and it would sadly be covered in limescale in and out here - I'd never keep it clean enough lol
