Haribo - don't do too much too soon, plenty of rest should get you over that infection asap. How lovely that your sister could get over to look after you.
Pink - (nudging dg out of the way!:D ) we have an Aldi just around the corner!:D and plenty of red wine! Worth a try!;)

I should mention that I will never, ever, ever be going to Aldi with her again. :rolleyes: Let's just say that she took FULL advantage of their free samples yesterday and consumed her own bodywight in their vegetable crisps.
I'll leave it a few weeks before I show my face in there again. :cool:

Hi
Hope that you don't mind me jumping in and posting. I have been reading this board for a while and decided last week to make changes to our home life. After my second child ( 6 months ago) I became a stay at home mum and also a carer for my first child so money is tight.

I have been totally inspired by the posts on the OS board.

Yesterday I made a huge beef stew in the slow cooker which I have frozen and today I made stock using yesterday's chicken carcass which I then turned into soup and a chicken pie for tonight. I even roasted some potatoes using the fat from the stock! I have put the left over chicken in the freezer for another pie next week.

Hopefully this is a good start towards changing our wasteful ways.

Just a quick question. I made the pie using left over meat from the roast and frozen stock from last week. There is lots left so can I keep it? Can I freeze it again although the chicken has been cooked twice?

Sounds like you're doing well with the OS ways already! On the freezing the pie question - If the chicken has been cooked twice then I doubt you can re-freeze it. I know you can cook frozen raw meat then re-freeze it, but once it's been defrosted and cooked again you can't because of the possibility of food poisoning.
