Hiya Everyone :hello: and a warm welcome to all new peoples and returners
Mumto5 - Sending healing thoughts for Ginge and hugs (()) for all the family
Had day off paid work today and have been batch cooking yesterday and today, so that's why had to sort freezers.
Have made/bagged/frozen following portions 10 x chilli beef, 10 x beef bolognaise, 6 x chicken chardonnay, 6 x chicken in mustard and dill, 6 beef bourguignon and 6 x garlic chestnut mushrooms. Also made a pot of basil pesto for fridge and shepherd's pie for dinner !! PHEW
The kitchen certainly needed Monday's list when I'd finished :rotfl: Wished for a 'kitchen fairy' but they must have all been busy so did it myself.
If it's gone I've done it or don't have one

LynneJK - have a great time in Blackpool! - if you get out of there and head to Thornton-Cleveleys or Fleetwood for a change we could do an impromptu flymeet - if you want to and have time just pm me!! Fleetwood has a lovely museum although most go for the Freeport shopping outlet and the promenade is lovely - even without the pier.
Off to get weighed today but think it might be a stay the same!!! Have walked miles over the last week though so can't understand it.
Thoughts with Ginge and your family Mumto5.
Take care everyone and have a lovely day. xJuly 16 £95/£200
