Stumbling across a Gousto half-price deal finally set me free from the overwhelm of meal planning - and the discount is still available if you fancy easing your mental load this December.
I am a 48-year-old perimenopausal woman who’s been feeding my family for more than 20 years. And reader, I’m done. I've got all the latest kitchen gear from one of the best air fryers to the best stainless steel pans - and yet meal planning is the domestic task I dread the most. After a full day at my desk, popping in to see my mum, helping my 11-year-old with her homework, attempting to exchange a few uninterrupted words with my husband, walking the dog, and firing off a few friendly texts to check in with my grown-up sons, my mental energy has left the building.
