Hi Everyone.

Another NSD thats number 4. There will be another one hopefully tomorrow and then i'll be getting a few bits on Thursday.

Thinking of you and your family Mrs M.

Think i will have ago at making the washing liquid. It is very expensive at the moment. I have swapped to the cheap own brand.

Have tried to go down a brand with the cats. Not very succesful didn't like Lidls dried food. Have got tescos own brand for them to try next. If I am going down a brand I thought they could try too.:rotfl:

Have a good evening everyone.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time MrsM

Good Afternoon all:j

angelnikki your peppers look a bit too wet I'd let them dry out a little not all the way but a bit, I have a few little ones but I shall be keeping them indoors as its a bit too cold outside and a little late,but hopefully we will get a few. you need to put them in bigger pots with potting compost, but I would keep them indoors and feed them with tomato food :beer:

I have just been to MrsM's to get a few 50p burgers and tomatoes and milk and potatoes well, it all came to £13.02 not bad,, them went to MrT's for butter,, only:A


denisefowler instead of just adding to the pages of your recipes,, I make a separate word doc for each and save them in a folder called recipes on the desktop,, if you right click on the desktop you can make a new folder, and name it anything you want

see you soon

I save the recipes in a word document, but then print them and keep them in a plastic folder, in plastic wallets, hey presto! i have a wipe clean cook book :T . I'm an awful messy cook, id get my laptop in an awful mess :rotfl: :rotfl:

Sashanut I would checfk on the Artisan Bread thread but I think I read on there that it has to be sea salt or it doesn't work. Don't think I dreamt that but sorry if I did.

NSD again for me as my back is too bad to get out the house. Painful but it is one way of saving money I suppose. Luckily I stocked up on bread flour and yeast so I made rolls today. I am not using much out of the stock cupboard either as haven't really felt like eating. Determined to be better tomorrow as I plan to meet a friend for lunch!!! We'll see.

Condolences to Mrs M.

Mrs M, can I rejoin again please...been away for over a month now, som t**t hijacked my hotmail account, so I've been spending the past month opening new email accounts and getting all of my stuff out of my hotmail, nearly 8 years worth!!! And to be honest, I don't really like my new provider (boo hoo)

Anyway, June spend was a whopping £156.12

Can I be put down for £130 again this month please.

Thanks
Clair
