With festive plans set, a couple of weekends ago, I carved out some time to do my meal planning for the whole Christmas and New Year period. What a sense of achievement that was!  

I’ve used my plan to create shopping lists and a planner for preparation, cooking and delegation.  

I can now spread my shopping over a period of weeks and get some bits and pieces made in advance so that I can ease gently and stress-free into the festivities.  

Are you feeling prepared?
