About Me

This is me, The Rat...partner since 2001 to Concrete_Man, mum to Rat_Girl (born 13.12.05) and Rat_Boy (born 14.05.09). Co-inhabiting our nest are 2 rather large fury 4 legged rats, Boxer_Dog and Black_Dog. We run a business from the nest with Concrete_Man doing the manly physical work while I stay at home and do the 'other' stuff. This means we are often busy, often stressed and often very tired...but then again who isn't! Anyway that's enough for now. As time goes by you will learn a bit more about the family that is "MummaRat's Nest"

Menu Plan Mondays - on hold for a little

Menu Plan Mondays are on hold for a little bit while I try out a new routine with shopping and meal planning.

I'm going to try to start shopping in bulk once a month and only going to the grocery store for fruit and veg.  We have a couple bulk food places here that apparently are cheaper than the supermarkets.  So I'm going to do a big shop there stock up on as much as I can, then shop at the butchers and buy cuts that are on special or that look good etc.  Then I will work out the menus for the month based on the items I've got at home rather than the other way around.  I'm going to try doing it this way to save time as I won't need to do the big weekly grocery shop.

I figure it's the start of the month so it's a good time to start.
