I have found a chicken curry in the freezer so I can microwave that for dinner with half a pack of microwave rice & a microwave popadom. Glad not to have to cook or put the oven on. I am going shopping in the morning before work & am planning to batch cook some more meals. Fish pie, tandoori chicken & peri peri chicken to have cold on wraps or with salad.0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

Thanks SW it was a batch cooked curry, they don’t take long in the microwave.MF we have 2 fans on in the kitchen, one on my desk in the living room which I take upstairs when I go to bed and 2 in the main bedroom upstairs where DS & gf and the dog sleep! The weather has been unbearable 🥵 but it is a little cooler outside tonight.

I'm contemplating buying a folding hand fan, like women had years ago. My cat's funny about the air movement with the fan as she doesn't understand it.
At least we have more daylight to get out when it's a bit cooler 🤭

Have to laugh as I have a hand held fan. It is made of African fabric and leather. It has a leather handle and tie. Whenever I use it someone compliments it. That said I really would like a fan for my bedroom at night!
@Skint_yet_Again I must follow your example and do some batch cooking

That sounds lovely DIA unfortunately I cannot grip a fan or do the wrist movement to waft myself. Thankfully it is a little cooler this morning and a nice breeze. Have already walked the dog. Just going shopping.0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗
