for people to make tasty, nutritious meals that I could freeze and reheat, so that neither dh nor I would have to worry about cooking for a week or two. Instead we were swamped with toys and babygros, most of which were never used nor worn. My MiL, possibly one of my least favourite people in the world, was about the only person who provided any food - a box of chocolates. Yes, this mother of three who spent my whole pregnancy telling me that I was looking 'fatter' showed her concern for my nutriional needs and those of my breastfed baby by buying me chocolates.
Interestingly, my step MiL, who has never had children, bought a casserole with her when she came down to visit from Newcastle.
With ds due a mere 16 months after dd, I really really don't need anything in the way of clothes or toys - how can I politely ask people to cook instead? Failing that, and to save room in the freezer,does anyone know of a good meal delivery service in the UK that would do gift vouchers? I just bought a gift meal voucher for a friend in Australia from a company called Yummy Bubby but can't find anything similar here for me - any ideas??
