Family of 5 'shop from home'food storage challenge...

I made the beef and bean pie - (I think jcr16? posted the recipe many pages ago? apologies if I've remembered that incorrectly) - it was delicious - I made mash rather than the potato slilces - amazingly DD polished off her own dinner and then some pie - am amazed she's refused to eat shepherds pie for her entire 7 3/4 years lifetime - so thank you v much! OH helped himself to seconds and the rest seems to "disappeared" into his lunch box - shame as I doubled up thinking I could freeze half

My Mum turned up after school this afternoon, she arrived before we got home from school, found her on the path salivating - she'd peeped through the kitchen window and could see all my home baked goodies - she tucked into the hobnobs, pizza braid and cherry bakewells - she even took 3 home with her - so I only have 2 mini ones left and about then my friend popped in and took 4 hobnobs and 1/4 of the bakewell tart - everybody suitably impressed and I am giving myself a large pat on the back

So tomorrow is D-day and hopefully we will be out of our misery - OH has made a couple of calls tonight to see if anybody has any work going - has come up with a couple of leads....roll on tomorrow, doubt I shall sleep tonight - think I will search a few more recipes

am a bit scared to do the chicken pie tomorrow night...

Well the day has started v badly - OH's car broke down - it seems he doesn't have Roadside assistance any longer on his insurance policy - he didn't check the renewal, luckily, his colleague called RAC out and the car is back on the road, just hope the old saying "bad things comes in threes" doesn't come true today, am off to work although I really don't want to go, am going to get RAC cover via Tesco Deals - have got £50 which I was hoping to save up towards a holiday but needs must

have fun days, donna
