okay, I think I probably am being a mean old bat... or am I? My nanny has put on the grocery list some boxes of frozen ready meals for herself. jars of sauce... basically convenience foods that I generally cut out of my own grocery bill because it is cheaper to cook fom scratch. And I think it's a bit cheeky. I work 55 hours a week and manage to cook my food from scratch. Why can't she? I just think it's lazy.

But, then I wonder if I'mbeing mean. You know, a frozen meal here and there really isn't THAT expensive. I think it's more about the principle that she spends a good part of the day in the house yet expects not to have to cook.

Is she taking the piss, or am I a whitch?

Jesus..you work 55 hours a week! Your wonder woman..

I hate ready meals too. What does she make for your lo? Doesnt she eat what they eat?

Maybe she just likes ready meals.

I'm afraid that I'm all for ease!
If she's busy cooking a ameal from scratch, then she can't be looking after your kiddy/kiddies!
I can cook basic foods, but if I want anything remotely edible that's differen, then it comes out of a box, jar or tin!
