Batch cooking and freezer capacity

I'm back at work now after maternity leave, and I'm finding that with working full time, travel time of 2.5 hours a day and 2 small DCs and DH to keep fed, dressed, and everything else, I'm thinking fondly of ways to streamline any process I can around the house.

So I'm mealplanning and batch cooking like mad to try and keep us all eating homemade, tasty, affordable food.

But between tiny cubes of weaning stuff, small portions of toddler stuff (she's insanely fussy and only starting to branch away from fish fingers and chicken nuggets so she's nowhere near eating the same as DH and I!) and stuff to keep DH and I from reaching for the takeaway menus, plus random ingredients I've bought when they were on sale but can't cook yet because I'd need even more space to freeze the cooked stuff, I keep running out of freezer space.

Am I doing it wrong?

I'm half tempted to just save up for a big american style fridge freezer because I loooooove them but I'm sure I should be able to manage by being even more organised?

How do you do it?

Get the foil takeaway dishes from Lakeland and designate one drawer for batch cooking.
