I don't know about you, but Royal Mail don't make it easy for you to collect, with their bizarre opening times and their depots in the most inconvenient places. Luckily, we haven't needed to collect any type of letter or parcel in a long while!<br /><br />I like your new mantra. I know we're not even close to that ratio at present, but, one day (although, that's the adults I'm talking about... the nippers are a different story... isn't it interesting that whilst the hubby and I are happy to fill our tums with processed food, we make sure to limit that for our children...hmmm, food for thought for me).<br /><br />I'm pleased to see you had a successful weekend of viewings too - good luck at the auction! Looking forward to hearing how you get on!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10404785962605411811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-64531490806572234122013-04-23T03:12:42.572+01:002013-04-23T03:12:42.572+01:00I read somewhere - try not to eat anything that ha...I read somewhere - try not to eat anything that has a list of ingredients.

I do tend to cook from scratch any way. On the card front, that is what my son at uni tends to do. When it is a family members birthday, people remark in advance about booking in a visit to the sorting office to pick up the card.

My stores are much reduced and lots of what was in there has been cooked for other people. I tend to eat along the guidelines of thevWeston Price foundation now and question much more where my food comes from. You have to love the Internet for being able to educate yourself about thesei issues and not just be spoon fed the stuff that big industries and agricultural concerns want us to believe.dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15569512066931951883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-82763789374393763542013-04-22T17:29:30.400+01:002013-04-22T17:29:30.400+01:00Spring is here - husband is in shorts !

I think that's why I haven't bought from AF for over 12 months. I find that a lot of the stuff is processed ( cook in sauces etc) or sugary/ full of fat ( chocolate, sweets and biscuits), so the few things I would buy aren't worth the delivery charge. I'd much rather make my own food and know what's in it!

When we were travelling in Europe last year I found it so much better to buy basic ingredients and then make our meals - initially I thought it might be a little boring, but have not found it so. When we were living in a house I used to save time by cooking for four each time and freezing half for another 'ready meal' later, but unfortunately there is not enough space in the motorhome to do this. (still use the ice box as much as possible though) Still keeping fingers crossed for Friday.

Whilst most of 'us' on these blogs can prepare it all ourselves (or buy when in an emergency), it is a shame others can't or won't cook. Doesn't help that true domestic 'cooking' science seems to be a thing of the past in schools.Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-22919995245213838032013-04-22T10:45:57.520+01:002013-04-22T10:45:57.520+01:00Sort of "thinking about being sunny here"...Sort of "thinking about being sunny here" at the moment...hmmm!<br />Agree totally about "fake food" - it's actually quite scary!<br />Have a lovely day!Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04175531371914205163noreply@blogger.com
