First you need to upload your photos on to a website like www.flickr.com or www.photobucket.com

I use Flickr so I'll explain using that. On flickr once you've uploaded your pics, you then need to select the photo that you want to post and then click on the picture of a magnifying glass that says 'all sizes' Choose the size of the photo you want to post (I use small or medium) and then copy the URL from where it says 'Grab the photo's URL' (highlight it by dragging your mouse over the text, right click and select copy)

Edit: or once you've uploaded the pic you can just right click on it, select 'properties' and then highlight and copy the address (URL) but you might end up with a huge photo if you do it this way though.

Then come on here and when you post a message you will see what looks like a picture of mountains (I think that's what it's supposed to be ) If you hover over it with your mouse it says 'insert image' click on the button and paste (right click and select paste) in the URL of the photo that you copied. Press preview post to check that it's worked.

Hi Mandy_Moo
I think someone said on an earlier post that they are only accepted at Sainsburys or I think Asda - try the link above to see what they say - Hope that helps so you can still use the voucher.

I am not sure if this coupon is accepted at Tesco.
It says that is accepted at WHSmith Sainsbury Waitrose and independent stores only.

EDIT: This is what I found on the Discount Code & Voucher thread, HIH's

Angchris: I'm a few days behind, so if you've already been asked these questions, please ignore this!

I'm impressed that you made butter! Can you tell me a bit more about how you made it? How long did you have to shake the cream for? How much cream did you start with and how much butter did it make? Do you have to shake the jar in a certain way? What can you do with the 'bi-product'?

Sorry to grill you but any tips gratefully received!

frankerooney

it was a 300 ml tub of double cream (any size will do) and left it on the side to get up to room temp then just poured it straight into a large clean jar (leave enough room for it to move when shaken) and shake for all your might till your arm nearlly drops off or sit watching tv rolling it under your foot or even better give it to the kids to shake as an "experiment":rotfl: it will slowly thicken up then all of a sudden you have a lump slopping about in fluid, cant give times as it all depends on your wrist action and how fast you shake it but it was about 10 mins or so.
drain the buttermilk away (dont throw buttermilk away its great used for cooking scones) and give it another good shake to try and get the last of the buttermilk out as this is what makes it go off if its left in the butter.
so you are left with a ball of homemade butter to do with what you want! you can mix a little salt in or garlic or whatever herbs you fancy or just leave it as it is, i put mine into a small coffee cup (any container will do)and pop it in the fridge to use as and when i fancy. i keep my hm butter purely for use on my fresh bread as its lovely and creamy and tastes fabulous and really couldnt be easier to make.
