  • Evening all :j

    Sorry for not posting sooner, just got in from doing the garden (9 pm!!!!!!!) and I'm absolutely SHATTERED. (good exercise though I hope!)

    I'm inbetween the washing now (ah, the joys of Friday night when you're 33 :rolleyes: ) and I'm having a very well earned beer (oops forgot to get weighed!!!) so I haven't had chance to read all the replies properly yet. Thing that really stood out though was freezing portions - this sounds good as I could make up two lots of something, one veggie and one normal, and freeze them into portions.

    Dummy question time, sorry :rolleyes: What do I freeze them in? I've seen these little foil containers in the £ shop but if I use those I can't chuck them in the microwave to reheat - should I get some plastic ones?

    Thank you all SO much for all your help!!! OH is still highly skeptical as to how we can make this work but I'm determined!!! :beer:

    How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on... when in your heart, you begin to understand. There is no going back.There are some things that time cannot mend... some hurts that go too deep. That have taken hold.
  • You can freeze any liquid, including soup, in plastic milk cartons. When I make soup I store it in the fridge door and pour out what's needed as and when. You will find that gradually you'll build up a collection of suitable plastic containers - large margerine tubs, ice cream tubs etc., without buying specially made plastic containers. Another alternative is to cut the tops off milk cartons, if you see what I mean, so you have just the part without the handle pouring bit - you can freeze stuff in there - cover with cling film. Before recycling any plastic container, inspect it for freezing potential !

  • Aaargh. Sorry for not posting for so long :(

    I've come to the conclusion that I don't actually want to take on any more around this house. I already do absolutely everything, every single bit of housework, so I can't face taking on any more.

    Sorry everyone. I feel incredibly fed up this morning and I'm thinking more and more often that I'd be better on my own, honestly. Sorry :(
