You're doing great Flowers

Mrscropley · 08/08/2017 17:20

My ds would love those!
You are managing to feed him which is a bonus while juggling a tiny dc also!!

crazypenguinlady · 08/08/2017 17:21

Carbohydrates from the milk roll, vegetable/vitamin c from the passage, fat and calcium from the cheese...sounds like a well rounded meal Grin plus he's eating it and enjoying it so another win.

FlowersBrewCakeWine for you.

piglover · 08/08/2017 17:22

I'd eat it with pleasure!

Whitecurrants · 08/08/2017 17:27

Not so different from Findus French bread pizzas. You’re doing just fine Wine

Fekko · 08/08/2017 17:30

I'd eat that. Add a glass of milk and an apple and you're onto a winner there.

Dawnedlightly · 08/08/2017 17:31

You're doing great. Don't be so hard on yourself. Flowers

Whiterabbitears · 08/08/2017 17:32

YANBU do what you need to get through, we've all been there!

haba · 08/08/2017 17:33

You have an 8wo, and you remembered to feed the toddler? You're doing great! Grin

AtleastitsnotMonday · 08/08/2017 17:34

God, seriously chill, it's basically a cheese sandwich. You're doing great. (Order yourself a takeaway)

KatoPotato · 08/08/2017 17:35

Actually sounds amazing, I want one!

Get yourself a dirty takeaway once they're asleep!

Redhead17 · 08/08/2017 17:35

My 6 year old would love that!

You're doing great woman!

demirose87 · 08/08/2017 17:35

we've all done this. No harm done.

deadringer · 08/08/2017 17:36

Sounds lovely. What's that saying, 'all fed, none dead'. You are doing great.Smile

arethereanyleftatall · 08/08/2017 17:36

Yanbu.

Crunchymum · 08/08/2017 17:37

My kids had Mac D (2.6 and 4.6) so homemade pizza is fine Grin

iogo · 08/08/2017 17:38

You have an 8wo, and you remembered to feed the toddler? You're doing great!

MrsMotherHen · 08/08/2017 17:39

Sounds inspired. I am remembering this recipe! Well done on feeding them, don't forget to feed yourself too!

coffeekittens · 08/08/2017 17:40

My 4 year old loves this dinner, I think if I had 2 under 3 we'd live off papa John's! Don't stress yourself, anyone who comes on to say YABU is a dick.

kate20091985 · 08/08/2017 17:46

Grin I've literally just sent my dh a message saying I'm on strike tonight so I'm not cooking tea for me and him, he can get something on the way home or get a takeaway. My 3 year old and 10 month old are having fish and rice...or flipper dippers and bachelor's super rice Grin

Trb17 · 08/08/2017 17:46

I'm actually thinking that's another easy tea recipe to add to my list. Passata is veg so you're totally winning there Smile

AztecHero · 08/08/2017 17:47

Yes yes!

'Everybody's fed, no-body's dead'.

Some days that is quite enough. :)

Nothing wrong with that meal, anyway.

Callamia · 08/08/2017 17:50

Cor, you can still buy milk roll? Excellent news.

MyheartbelongstoG · 08/08/2017 17:51

You're doing great op!
