    Hi Angelnikki

    Glad you like the brownies... I did similar to you -omitted the cranberry sauce (i must be one of the few folks not to have a part jar lurking from xmas:p )
    I added chopped walnuts and dried cranberries mmmmm
    The next lot are probably going to have a bit of coconut in and raisins soaked in rum...
    I loved them when they were just cooled -but they are much better out of the frdge -and they freeze too :T
    Oh and for anyone else thinking of giving them a go -they are 140 cals each or 2.5WW points
    -6 -8 -3 -1.5 -2.5 -3 -1.5-3.5

    KAAT to hide a link in a word you type the word or words eg click here, then highlight the word(s) by selecting it/them with your mouse, you then click on the button that looks like this 2729019200_76670520f7_o.jpg and you paste in the link like this ;) HTH

    And I've only eaten one choc brownie so far :A

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    Went out today to the park and since we were passing Mr Ts we popped in to have a looksie. Spent £5.86 :o But that includes some Supercook baking supplies which were reduced ;) Also spent 88p on some reduced Norwegian Jarlsberg (should have been over £4 :D:j:money: And I got the last 2 pieces ;):p ) which I'm going to very thinly slice and freeze to use on pizza and pasta bakes etc.

    So currently standings for me are £6.86/£20 (£13.14 left, new week starts Friday)
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    hi

    susan946 i got several bags of dried cranberries whoopsied down to 9p a pack in Mr M's a while ago...they're about a month out of date now, but once they've been baked you can't tell :rotfl:

    orkneystar yes....my iced-bun-thingies were lovely!! still waiting for DD18 to show me how to transfer pics from the camera onto the comp so i could post a pic. i was really good and only ate one...the rest have gone in the freezer

    managed an NSD today, so that means i was able to stick about £7 in my sealed tin from this week's grocery money :T

    hope everyone's having a nice evening....just wish this rain would stay away!
  • Evening All,

    Just thought I would update my signature on the grocery spend so far. Not looking to good for staying on target - already! OH did the shopping this week and spent 119 :eek: in Mr. T's can't complain too much as he is really trying to spend less and I don't want him to get demoralized.. So I am going to have to work some magic to stay on track for the rest of the month.
    Made some double choc muffins to get over the shock - YUMMY! :T

    Anna.
