    Are the numbers after your "DD" etc your children's ages or do you have 9 children?:eek:
    I thought it was done in age order e.g daughter number 1 = DD1, have I been doing it wrong?

    OMG, I can't imagine 9 lots of "push, push, come on, you can do it" and "You just need a few sutures":eek: ...

    Anyhoo,

    Sidled into "Farm Foods" today to pick up some "pukka" pies and musher peas for MSE takeaway (just the chips from chippy) and got SIDE tracked with BARGAIN baby food.

    Heinz organic puree and simple (2 pack) were 5 for £1 (this stuff is about £1.50 elsewhere for 1 x 2 pack.
    Heinz fruity custards 39p for 4 (cleared the shelf)
    Heinz "mums own" 10 month plus dinner platters @ 10p each!!

    All BBE 10/08

    Came away with no pies and a £6.95 dent in my budget. Looks like we may have to just have chips on their own hehe.

    I think OrkneyStar offered a recipe for bread--uerm--:rolleyes: --was it to include oatmeal or something:confused:...have I missed it :huh: Oooh yes...& to say check out the "What Value Things Have You Tried & Liked" & the what value etcetc You DON'T Like" threads for some idea of what MrT has.
    .
    I was not sure that the recipe for the bread was needed or not. I need to type it out as its only in paper form just now. I can do if you want it so let me know :D

    Hi all
    Glad to see my dream amused you have been racking my brains for who else I could remember pink-winged I think (wings that were pink :p) but couldn't!

    I have finished all my essays :j so no longer avoiding them by being on here- just feeding my addiction :rolleyes:!

    Updated sig earlier but took me a while to catch up- quick trip to Co-op (nearest supermarket for 5 miles) to buy cereal and fruit.

    Planning to cook weetabix brownies, fairy cakes and poss choc and banana loaf for charity tea party tomorrow :A- hope we have a bit of sunshine. BTW thanks to whoever posted about supercook stuff- got my sugar strands for fairy cakes for around 13p in Mr A as opposed to 88p in Co-op today!

    Must get the BM back in use too- if I don't will need to buy bread next week.
