I had to confirm that I want the jewellers to go ahead with my necklace repair.    Dad bought Mum a pearl necklace for their Pearl Wedding Anniversary in 1982, and was one of the few things that didn't get taken in a burglary about 10 years later, as she was wearing it ... in fact she wore it a lot.  As pearl is my birthstone (and I love it), I

After that I did 2 batch bakes ... one a sausage and potatoe bake, and the other minced beef with tomatoes & onions ... so they are cooling ready to divide and freeze.

To make the portion size what you want, etc, etc. I have a couple of ready meals in the freezer, as well, as sometimes I have a long day at work and it is easy ... but that is a once a month idea.. This is what I do a couple times a month. It's always great to just reach into the freezer for a home cooked meal instead of scrambling when we're famished. There's shepherd's pie and minestrone in the freezer right now!
