    PP do you buy any other milk or do you use the UHT on the cereal
    we have cereal for breakfast and use around 4 pints a day (kids have it to drink too)
    and which cereal do you eat? I notice you spend 50p per week
    I usually spend £6 a week on cereal,
    I do cut down where I can but we all seem very particular about our cereals :o

    are Lidl's eggs free range?

    zombiekazz, just been looking at your recipe for spicey bean veggie burgers, do you fry the onion,carrot and celery before mixing in with other ingredients or does frying the burgers once everythings been mixed together cook veg enough? I'm gonna try them later in week, without spice as dd doesnt like spicey food, will probably do half spicey and half not IYKWIM will let you know how we get on, as dd loves trying out new veggie recipes, shes not full vegetarian, eats chicken and tuna, but loves veggie meals.
    Thankyou

    People are stupid enough to freeze it in the tin.

    I once had a dim friend who bought a one of those stick deodorants and took it back because it made her bum spotty. The shop assistant told her that she shouldnt be putting it on her bum and my friend pointed out that it said 'push up bottom' on it. I also went with her to a baby clinic once and her babys dummy went on the floor. The nurse told her to go and wash the dummy in the toilet, meaning obviously to wash it under the tap, but she actually swished it round in the toilet bowl. How dim is that? I couldnt believe what i was seeing.

    Anyway, in answer to your question yes it is OK to freeze it once it is out of the tin. If your worried though you can always use ordinary chilled cream.

    She may not be stupid but have a problem like Aspergers. Some people with Aspergers can take what people say literally.

    There was an interesting article in yesterdays' daily mail about what was and wasn't in the ice cream, i think it said tesco's 74p ice cream was just an oily sludge and most ice creams have no cream or milk and are made with lots of oils. They only have to contain some sliver of a percentage of milk/cream to be 'dairy' ice cream as well .You have to get over the £3 mark for organic ice cream or a good top range ice cream. Or you can buy the tins of cream and make black saturns version!!

    THat is why I always buy yeo valley ice cream or Green and Blacks, no vegetable or hydrogenated oil. even alot of the premium ice creams contain it..not what I think ice CREAM should be
    THe cornish ice cream by walls does not contain oil BTW, it is about £2 alitre and I think the cheapest option for ice cream that is oil free in the supermarket

    Thanks for all the inspiration.

    My mum makes ice cream as follows:
    4 eggs, 4 oz sugar, 10fl oz whipping cream, vanilla essence. Separate the egss, whip the whites, add sugar fold in the yolks and then the vanilla. Whip the cream, mix in and freeze overnight. Very good if you are not bothered about raw eggs, and not a huge problem with ice crystals.

    Glad-I normally have fresh as well (which I buy when reduced and freeze) but havent accounted for that actually...sorry. Do generally use UHT milk though but we dont drink alot of milk, even on cereal its minimal. OH only drinks black coffee and I dont drink really any hot drinks.

    The cereal I have just worked out what we spend on average. Each month we buy cereal on offer but usually cornflakes (store brand), weetabix (storebrand) and rice crispies. TBH we dont eat alot of cereal and is normally a smallish bowl with a top up of fresh fruit or a slice of toast.

    Lidls eggs are free range...yes!!

    May I ask how many kids you have Glad for 4 pints a day. DD has a small glass of milk most evenings too....with her 2 biscuits:D
