The end …

of the grid for the week

So my Multitaskers, what did you think – were you sceptical?

My intention was not to turn you into some crazy person obsessed with lists. If you've enjoyed the basic concept of the multitasking and, if only in a small way, have adjusted the way you plan, shop and cook - then all I can say is yippee!

If it has made you think about saving yourself time and money - for example, shopping randomly and usually expensively – then ditto!

If you're now using your oven to its fullest capacity and have a supper or two under your belt and it eases your working week – then ditto again!

Here's another thing – how much food have you wasted this week – have a look in your fridge – only you know how much food you condemn to the recycling bin each week. I'd like to bet that there's not much left in the fridge to recycle.

You never know you might actually begin to cook more than you'll use so that you create your own home cooked ready meals to freeze, so, when you're suffering from the revolving door syndrome – you know exactly what I mean - everyone coming and going at different times - you're able to pull meals out of the freezer.

If you've been impressed, nay pleased with the results, you could even go one step further and actually work out how much money you've saved – you've shopped once at the supermarket so you'll know – compare it with your previous shop. In terms of wastage the fridge and recycling bin speak for themselves.

Best of all it does not take into account your stress free, happy mood.

Give yourself a pat on the back and treat yourself with the money you've saved.

I know it's not rocket science but may be you've had a light bulb moment!
