this is the link to the news item about Rowntrees research into what is acceptable for a single person to live on (well, I hope it is, not done this before)
http://www.jrf.org.uk/pressroom/releases/010708.asp

From the report:

The groups agreed that only families with a secondary school child required internet access.

That's us out then until September, lol! (pg 21 of the report and the only thing I've really disagreed with on a skim-thro so far)

Today i have spent

£3.56 in morrisons
£1.00 in farmfoods

Total £4.56

I also added those 10 cigs on to my total yesterday so i need to take that off as i dont count it in my challenge. so £4.56 - £2.35 = £2.21

Peach crumble marru???:rotfl:

Oh you are so mean!!!

I am absolutely starving and so bored that don't know what to do with myself. Too tired to work, nothing on the TV and (Bails don't laugh) I don't have anything to read. I guess it is best to go and cook supper and have an early night. (And perhaps have a little rummage if I happened to find a book that I like.)

Janey - sorry to hear about what is going on with the hospital. Hope all will get sorted out soon. We are all thinking about you.

Hello everybody else :hello: and good night

Janey, hugs and hope

marru,

I don't mean to nag, but you could always finish DD's star chart

Peach crumble is just heavenly but it's even better with apricots mixed in.

I've used dried but I include some of the tinned peach juice to keep it moist.

Generally though I used tinned apricots and tinned peaches.

I can never bring myself to cook fresh strawberries or fresh peaches. They are classed as luxury items still to me. (I don't know why; we never had them much as a child, but H2B had a peach tree and a cherry tree in his garden while growing up. The cherry tree was huge enough to sit and read in the branches whilst spitting stones at the birds. Can you imagine! What a waste on a child, although he seems to have appreciated it greatly).

Now you are just getting really mean!

Yes, I am still here. DD has just woken up to go to the toilet and then went back to bed. Yes I will print that chart off tomorrow and tape it on the fridge door.

Going to cook now before my empty tummy has to take any more tormenting will only log back on after breakfast just to keep on the safe side.

Oh - remember my piggy that was losing weight? He has gained all of 10 grams in a week! :T

Going ...gone...

Tom is to be allowed back to us tomorrow.
He died from a pulmonary embolism from a deep vein thrombosis.
I have all my family here now. I bought a beautiful red suit to wear from Laura Ashley. And, if it rains, I have an umbrella with pink hearts all over it.
Wish it was over and Tom was at rest .
I am turning into a Malteser floating in Baileys with the odd valium popping to the surface.
