I really like the id...THat sounds just what I need! I really like the idea of a 28 day meal plan. I know a lady who has a slimline calender and at the beginning of each month writes down what she will cook for each day. She also has a very large deep freeze and shops monthly for frozen meat. I've done weekly (at the most) plans before and have to say when i'm really organized and shop online accordingly for all the ingredients it really works well. It's a relief to know what is going to be for dinner even if it hasn't been made yet and not having to resort to a bag of pasta, pesto and grated cheese (again! although I never get any complaints!)<br />Re. cleaning- I have similar problem as we have had help for a number of years with cleaning and ironing. Also having had 5 children v close together it has been a case of it's quicker to do it yourself as time is short when there is a lot of homework and music practice etc. Now they are older it's harder to get any system going of chores. It was easier I think when my siblings and I were little, ie little to no homework, no dishwasher so a strict rotation rota of washing, drying and putting away the dishes! The boys had to clean the shoes and the girls had to do clean the bathrooms! <br />To be fair to my 5 now they do help out when asked, albeit reluctantly like any child sometimes but as to a system and weekly plan for it I think i'll do well if I can do the meal one!!<br />Do let us know how it goes.<br />Love Charlotte<br />PS did you get the magimix?Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12907275433760121422noreply@blogger.com
