  150. Birdmummy

    Any advise for when you are VERY tired?

    I do this too, can always fit in a jckt potato of some sort. What about the pasta and sauce packets? They do loads of different flavours and their good as a store cupboard ingredient. You can add additional veg or meats to the m and top them with cheese (hea).
