Slow cookers

Does anyone have a slow cooker and can advise me wether they are worth it as I’m thinking to get one. Would be great if you share some light on how to use it and what kind of things you make in there/ is it energy efficient?

Thank you x

I got one around the time my daughter was born, so 5 years ago, and I have used it 1-2 per week since then! It’s been used so much. It so convenient because dinner is sorted and can be dished up whenever we are ready, it’s especially handy now she has classes after school so I don’t have the time around dinner time to be cooking but I can find some time earlier in the day to get it going in the slow cooker. We do curries, stews, bolognese, pulled meat, we had sweet and sour pork last night in it, we do the Sunday roast meat in it. I have a few slow cooker recipe books which are handy to have.

There is a lot
You can do in them. I’ve had mine for about 8 years and I use it on and off. I normally
Go through phases of being organised enough to use it then not for a bit but I wouldn’t get rid of it. There are lots of things you can do. It depends what you are making though as some things aren’t great in them

I use mine a lot. I use it for things I'd normally cook on the hob and need to constantly stir. So curry bolognese, meatballs, any dish with sauce basically 😅. I just find it easier to throw it all in the slow cooker and leave it for the day. Its done then for dinner time and I've not had to spend anytime supervising the pan whilst it cooks.

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
