Meal Plan Monday 4th January 2016

It's been a while since I have written a meal plan let alone a new blog post, the combination of Mr MC&W new job, the two boys and expecting time just seemed to run away from us.

We now are a family of five and I know I need to get more organised this year with three boys to look after and a hard working hubby. 

Meals that can be prepared and cooked fast or can sit in a slow cooker or oven for a time with out burning or ending in disaster. I will be purchasing a few new cookbooks and selling some of my old ones as our meals need some inspiration. 

Monday - Quorn and Noodle Stir Fry for the adults and Gammon, Mash and Peas for the boys

Tuesday - Tuna Pasta Bake the boys will have cheesy pasta with green veg

Wednesday - Sausage Casserole with jacket potato for everyone

Thursday - Bacon, Potato and mushroom Gratin I will do for the boys but minus the mushrooms and serve with salad

Friday - I am a big fan of Birds Eye Fish Sensations we will have this with rice and Mediterranean vegetables the boys will have Fish Fingers, Chips and Peas

Saturday - Spag Bol for everyone

Sunday - Roast Chicken with all the trimmings

Mint is trying to take over the garden

I  am trying to tidy the garden up. We are a bit tight for money this month and I want to plant lots of bulbs. Instead I am tidying and keeping busy, let's be honest the garden is a weed haven and a total mess so I have a lot to do. Clearing this border however I have made a very important discovery. That mint is trying to take over the world, one border at a time. Two years ago I planted out a very sad and mainly dead supermarket mint plant. I did not think it was going to survive or the consequences of my naive action. It did survive and it did grow and grow. I then cleared the border down that year and the next it came back stronger. This year it was at its finest. Now admittedly I did just let it grow. The children loved the smell as did I. They were picking it, making mud pies with it, it was a source of fun. Then the flowers came out and the bees and pollinators were in heaven the whole border was alive, I had to keep it. I have now dug it u...

Did you have a good day?

I decided to write this post as a Mummy of a little boy who is on the Autism Spectrum  and has very limited speech and understanding, I wanted to give a glimpse into our world. He had been for a school trip to a small local airport and this is the story of collection and journey home.... As I walked through the door I almost heard the sigh of relief from the teachers, "Mummy is here" was said in that slightly high pitched tone mixing happy and stress all at the same time. OB runs towards me shouting Mummy then collapsed on the floor just by my feet telling me "I want yo see  animals and go to Legoland". OK I think to myself here we go, I bent down to his level and said in that slight high pitched fake happy tone that it was time to get into Mummy's car, but he was getting distressed the word Lego was being said repeatedly. I noted he did not have his Lego (Lego goes everywhere with him) I enquired about said Lego, luckily it was quickly found, this seemed to...

VBAC when a Uterus Ruptures

It took me some time to decide if I should write this post, but my overwhelming feeling is I need to share what happened to me. I hope that I can raise awareness of VBAC and the very rare chance of a uterus rupturing. I have had three children the first OEP was born via section at 42 weeks due to a missed breach, infact I never went into labour. ATM was successfully naturally delivered as they say by VBAC. Then we had ZAP...... I happily opted for VBAC the second time, I have two children and the last thing I needed was a section meaning I could not drive or lift for 6 weeks. I was told I was classed as high risk, in fact it was written on all my notes  and would be carefully monitored at all times during labour. So two weeks before my due date I woke in the middle of the night feeling rough and was violently ill. I could not get back to sleep due to the most terrible pain in my right hand side and back. I thought the pain in my side was from being so violently ill that I had pu...
