Lists.......

I am a HUGE list person.  I LOVE them!!  I write a list for everything and I'm one of those people that will write things that I've already done just so I can cross things off.

When Anya was a newborn I would have lists to just get through the day.

1. Shower
2. Get Dressed
3. Was Nappies
4. Hang Out Nappies
5. Make Sure I EAT.......

Of course there was also a Baby in there too but it was an achievement to get dressed somedays.  If your a Mum then you'll understand.

But today it was lists for Spend Free September!!  What we need to do and what we need to pay for and writing out menus for the month.  Its actually really hard to think of meals for a whole months.  Like what do you eat??  There will be a lot of rice and pasta because those are Anya's favourite meals.  A bit of fish and maybe some spaghetti on toast?  And then there's lunches.  Not so much during the week for Anya but more on the weekend.  And the big adjustment that I have to get used to is making lunch for me when I make lunch for Anya. This way if I need to pop to the library or somewhere out of the house I have lunch and I wont be tempted to buy a coffee or a sandwich.

I think this month there will be a lot of fruit and vegetables, slow cooker meals and sandwiches.  The main goal is to save so I don't want us to blow our budget at the super market.  So I guess I'll be recipe hunting on PINTEREST and all around the net.  Made chocolate chip cookies today for Anya and they went down a treat.  

But for anyone that is actually reading my blog if you have any meal ideas for the month please post and let me know.
