Meal Planning Monday: 18th February 2013
Just a quickie this time as I’m exhausted and need to get some sleep. I’m joining up as usual with the week Meal Planning hop over at Mrs M’s. Some days may change depending on what the OH is up…
Lifestyle
Chewing gum
We were never allowed chewing gum as children (I once got caught out, don’t think my mum believed me at all!), but I quite like it now. I reckon it really helps keep your teeth clean, but I’m quite picky…

Washing willies

The general rules for feeding children are full fat dairy til 2, then if they’re normal or overweight they can change to semi-skimmed milk. We’re likely to keep N on full fat given that’s what his dad has and if…
Dinner time decisions

Meal Planning Monday (er Tuesday): 28th January
Totally missed yesterday’s link up, so here’s this weeks meal plan today. I managed to luck out Monday (roast leftovers from dinner at the in-laws) and Tuesday (OH brought some breaded plaice over that his mum had got – I…
