Bloody he'll! Must have cost you a fortune! Hehe

if you're really organised you could have a cooking day a cook loads of meals and stick them in the freezer (I'm not that organised but I know someone who does that).

Happy cooking xx

It did hehe! But other than fresh things we now have food for at least 2 weeks XX

Me and OH had a slow cooker for Christmas and are determined to eat healthier.
Flick eats pretty healthy and has loads of fruit and veg but me and Dan don't so we are hoping this will get us to eat more healthy foods.

Emz, what do you do with a slow cooker!

Could I throw everything in in the morning and put it before I go to work at 8am and leave it til 5pm when I get in or would that be too long? If I can do this I'll go and get one today.

Hey Penny, I got a slow cooker a few years ago and have only really started using it and yes you just throw everything in, in the morning and when you get home it is cooked!!

Thanks Lesley

I'll have to pop out and get one - I know its a bit sad, but I'm quite excited now
