Ordered my side of beef & lamb today

[Halex]

i would say about 8 months for us. We all love lamb shanks & you only get 2 in a whole lamb.

No we havent come across anything we dont like or use.

It is such a cheap way to buy meat

Do they pack them for you Hally, or do you bag it all up yourself?
Because our butcher comes to us...we have to do all our own bagging....can take hours  but I stupidly didn't remember to buy enough zip lock bags last time, and had to use freezer bags....big mistake!!
The normal freezer bags stick to each other in the chest freezer, and are impossible to pry apart....you would think I would have remembered to be more organised by now 

[Halex]

Maddy, the guys are really good, it all comes in trays, weight & cut on label. 

Keep looking in freezer & thinking we must eat this & this etc

Yummy Judy, what a great idea...

[judydawn]

It always goes down well Robyn, what do you buy someone who doesn't really need anything? 

[Halex]

What a great idea for a present.  You will enjoy those

Excellent birthday gift idea.
I have an Aunt & Uncle that have everything and live in a retirement village. They would love fillet steak for the freezer.

frank and i love the idea of the retirement village living, when time tme comes

[mcmich]

Uni, the retirement village is whizz bang.

They have a modern 2 bedroom unit. Private bus to the shopping centres every day and bus trips once a week
to different locations.
Their own what's going on TV channel. Recreation room that's always got something happening and a mens shed.

It's where I'm going.

[judydawn]

Just think about it girls, we could start our own retirement village - what a great place that would be to live if we all got together.  
Uni and Gert could lead us astray - I'm sure we would all be followers

[mcmich]

Lovely idea.
Margarita's and limoncello by the pool.

[Halex]

I think  michele has a great idea
 

[obbie]

I'll cook the cakes Judy...
