New Years Resolutions

I didn't make any last year.... So that bit is easy, lol!

I do have some for this year though. Lets get the usual dross out of the way first:

* Lose weight. Georgie is almost 9m old and I am still flabby n saggy. I know we want one more baby so there is little point dreaming of abs of steel etc but I'd like to drop a couple of stone (again)

* Save money for the Summer Holiday. Target is £500 plus food money. £300 stashed already

* Clear the Clutter. 5 of us and the cat in this house, one day there'll be another baby. Need to make some space!

* Start saving for the Next Big Thing: if we're going to have 4 kids one day then we need a bigger car and a bigger house ( car first while the kids are small ), can't afford either just now. Parents have offered to put in for the car. House needs doing up before I can sell it. Time to start saving. This years target: £1000+

Recipe: Pigsty Pie

This is one that we made up, although we are far from the first or only people to make a pie using pork or pork mince and call it a Pigsty Pie. So let's just say that this is our version of it. It smells great and reminds me of stuffing at Christmas, making it feel much more "naughty" than it is! This serves four people and it a nice 9 points per serving. You will need these for the mash: 400g potatoes 400g sweet potatoes 4-5 good sized carrots Salt Pepper Nutmeg Simply chop the roots, boil in salted water until tender, and mash! Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. The pie filling: 10 sprays low fat cooking spray (e.g. 1 cal) 1/2 lb lean pork mince 2 onions, finely chopped 3 apples, diced 1 leek, chopped 5-6 big mushrooms 2 tbs plain flour 1 tsp sage 1 tsp parsley Salt Pepper 1 vegetable stock cube 1/2 hot water 2 tsp English mustard Fry the onions in the cooking spray until they start to soften, add the mince. Once the meat starts to colour add the apple, leek and mush
