Only freedom will do

Mrs E now has a SIPP, it is a weight off! We'll now be putting away £700/m+ from the end of this month :j

Was up to 11:30 last night making freezer cubes for DD :eek: I managed 12 dinners of poached free range chicken, potato, brown rice, leek and carrot casserole with HM no salt chicken broth. A bit tiring and messy, but I'm decidedly underwhelmed with pre-prepared savoury pouches (although the sweet ones are good). In any case, I was able to make the equivalent of £9 worth of those for about half price, with total quality control.

£2 OPed (a few pence cashback and a ET). Updated some spreadsheets today. What with Mrs E's income about to go down to £0/m and c. £5k to spend on the bathroom, things are looking a bit bare.... A cunning plan is needed.

Your DDs food sounds lovely Ed, if she doesn't want it I'll have it It is great to know exactly what's going into their bodies. Prepared baby food had come on a lot even in the five years between my two but there's no substitute for making your own. I made all my DS's food lovingly from scratch with organic ingredients, taking care to ensure he had the right food groups, I spoon fed him engaging with him all the time. When DD came along she ate whatever we were eating & largely fed herself as I was too busy to help her! She's essentially a scavenger now. Second child syndrome I think they call it :rotfl:

Food sounds lovely - but she'll probably prefer the fluff ball from under the sofa .

Maybe Ed's still out there ..... , now who was it that "lost" their scarf, oh, yes, it was Shangijimmy :rotfl:

Food always sounds delicious on here.

You do seriously well money wise, too. IIRC, you have a smaller income than my wife and I, yet seem to make it stretch a lot further.

Just catching up on your diary! When you were telling us about the baby food making it got me remembering about when my youngest was a baby - did the same freezing hundreds of ice cubes of various things - problem was she was a poorly baby and the thing she liked best was sweet potato - I mixed it in with everything to help her tolerate different things - her little nose actually turned orange with the carotene in it!!!! (thankfully it was temporary and at 11 she now has normal pigment!!!) word of warning I guess! Pureed pears are also great for adding to less palatable veg such as spinach if DD is fussy - strange combination I know! But it works!!!
