Happy New Year to the Sunshiniest of mummies.
I've asked for ice to be delivered to my room. I did actually want some
Wonder who will bring it!

Apart from Yorkshire. No you don't. I go often and would probably live there given the opportunity.

I did this about three years ago (probably around the time I joined the MSE forum, though I was over on the Eating Out of Freezer and Cupboards thread then). I realised I'd slowly got out of the habit of cooking, full-stop, which is something I'd always loved to do. So I ditched the ready-meal-buying habit, and got back into cooking - menu planning, batch cooking (at weekends, buying a slow cooker helped as well), buying fruit and veg and suchlike when in season and at its cheapest.
I knew exactly what what was in the food I was eating, and I could make it exactly as I wanted it.
I also set myself a little challenge of making everything from scratch, learning or rediscovering skills along the way - pizza (I make a mean pizza sauce now, even if I say so myself:o), pasta, piri-piri sauce, foccacia, ciabatta, chilli sauce, pesto, etc.
My monthly food bills pretty much halved immediately, and have kept going down ever since (Sept to Nov was less than £10 a month:)).'It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.'

Don't worry about me Nanny. I'm very happy. One day a bloke might come along but that's up to the universe.Debt free 6th December 2014
