Just a quick post today, this bloging daily lark is hard. And Milly keeps trying to climb up my leg and onto my back, could be dangerous!

If you’ve read the start of the week you’ll know that I have just £5 a day for 5 people.

Anyway, I really wanted to share this one with you because it was a such a Big Success! Jack the curry hater, and Milly the food thrower both sat quietly with a few mmmm’s and ate the lot! Result!!!
