Meal Planning Monday: 11th February 2013
It’s the start of the week again. I think the meal planning’s going really well. Much better on the food waste, and easier for planning preparation throughout the day. Not really seeming to get much cheaper when actually shopping, but…
Party trick – tongue twister
My son is strange. Or rather his tongue is strange. He has a party trick already, at the age of 2! He’s just started sticking his tongue out (not brilliant), but I’m intrigued. He can make it into a (rounded)…

It’s getting close to Valentine’s Day, and thoughts obviously turn to chocolate (especially if you’d given it up for a new year’s resolution as part of a healthy eating/weight loss regime…that’d be me, then!). Never one to turn down good…
