    There isn't one meal there that I'd turn my nose up at, they all sound scrummy.

      Thank you! My middle son can be a fussy eater so we have quite a repetitive menu sometimes!

    Please can I come for tea?! Menu choices sound lovely and I'm glad to hear someone else plans them in advance, I thought we were a dying breed :)

      I can't just plan weekly; it has to be monthly. And posting once a week is too often for me to remember.

      I love October; next month I am seriously having a slow cooker drive, when I use it as often as possible!

      It's like cheese on toast with a layer of chilli under the cheese. I'm going to make them on halved baguettes.

    Another month sorted!
    Thanks for the gnocchi inspiration. I did them one day last week and they were snaffled by all.

      We hadn't had them for ages. Aldi don't do them, so I had to go specially to Sainsburys for them! I'm glad you liked them x

    I'm in awe of anyone who can plan their meals for a whole month! Do you have to use a recipe book for any of these, or are they all meals that you know off by heart? Does it take much planning and organising in the first place? I'd love to try this, but maybe I'll just concentrate on a week at a time to begin with...

      I have built up my repertoire... This month is recipe free, virtually. Some I know by heart, some I'll make up. And next month will be Nigel/Nigella all the way! (joke)

    I am behind with my meal planning for this month so it is going to be a bit hit and miss for a day or two and then I will get organised from next week onwards! You sound as though you are very organised! Some great meals ahead for you. xx

My Latest Trick...

I really need to introduce you to my latest hooky love, before it gets finished and I end up not telling you the back story. Let me show you what I'm on about first; World, meet Autumn Ripple Blanket (Autumn for short). You see, I have a granny square with flowers and a black background blanket that I'm desperate to finish for my bedroom, and a list of decorative items I'd like to do for Autumn and Christmas, so I sat down last week to make an Autumn Inspirations board on Pinterest (like you do) and made this; https://www.pinterest.com/angeljem5/autumn-and-fall/ and I loved the colours and the feelings it aroused in me. Colour-wise I am a warm autumn, but very often misbehave and don't wear them (long reason; won't say now) but I do love them, and the whole Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness bit, so the board keeps filling up with pure autumnal inspiration. Until this one hits my eye. From The Glamorous Housewife's site . And the colours are be...

"small elements of my home that I do not detest and that I have photographed so as to eliminate all traces of dirt and detritus". I love reading all the blogs on my list. I love reading all the house books that I can lay my hands on, ripping them to pieces and sticking them into my inspiration books. I won't get into how much more time I have to actually do things around my house if I don't go on t'internet and how much more money I would have available if I didn't have this programmed need to buy buy buy ..... I admire the true homemakers, I really do. I have a hankering to have a successful business, clean house and a family who can find matching socks without looking in three different places and finally finding the match half way behind the sofa cushion where it's been for three weeks so that I have to wash it before they can wear it and they either have to wear it wet, in which case I worry about pneumonia, or start again on the quest for a pair with ...
