Countdown have also just started an online order and pick-up service too. So, once a week I spend an hour planning my meals for the whole week, order all the ingredients online and then I'm sorted! They also have a place where you can store your 'basics' list. I also then know each day what we're having for dinner so I don't waste headspace trying to think of something.<br /><br />Enjoy the bubbles!!<br /><br /><br />Louisa Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516084905261935607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-38531465937266121702013-06-07T14:53:19.810+10:002013-06-07T14:53:19.810+10:00You can get home delivered burritos and tamales?

It goes without saying that housework doesn't get done in the last week, except for the absolute must dos. Dare I suggest that deadlines are a perfect time for writers to give their children more responsibility when it comes to doing things around the house? And if they don't do their new chores perfectly then they'll learn for next time. One of my favourite time savers is soup. I'm writing today and it's probably the last virtually uninterrupted day I'll have at it for a while so in between scenes I'm going to make a huge pot of soup - the for that will provide a couple of meals for everyone and a very quick lunch along the way for me. I can prepare it easily over my quick breaks from the computer and the benefits last for days. Final tip? Get your husband to take the kids out of the house for a treat, any treat, till the book's in bed. Good luck.Annie Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804740491737358014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-41086241162916174832013-06-07T10:30:37.713+10:002013-06-07T10:30:37.713+10:00LOL!
