GnB -any chance of the M&M's cookie recipe please?
cheers

Here it is, not my recipe, got it from the grocery challenge. They are yummy! I just replace the 4oz choc chips with 4oz M&Ms. Could use whatever you want though, i'm going to try toffee/pecan when i get round to it:D

EagerLearner

Hi mumoffour77 was going to do it online... the price is now £8.18 for the set which includes: 1 fitted sheet, 1 flat sheet and 4 pillow cases (plus the £7.99 p&p)?

Eager learner - Try TK Maxx if you have one - similar price once you take postage into account and you can at least feel the quality - mine were reduced from £100 to £20, and well worth the money. My parents have bought various things via bidup and have been happy with it.

EagerLearner

They do - although it sounds ambiguous in terms of opening the pack? 6 mins to go... £8.09... am I mad tp even consider them!?

There's a TKMaxx in town so will give them a go and see what I can find maybe...

Well I have emptied the dishwasher... can't put any washing on though as it keeps raining and we only have one airer - and lodger has put a load of his clothes in so it will be taken up for the next day or so. Could do with a washer dryer really but our landlord has just bought next door as well, and needs a washing machine for in there so I could possibly persuade him to put our one in and pay the difference on a washer dryer so that we get one. With an autumn baby and planning on using cloth nappies at least part time I think it will be worth it.

I had to wash up a milk pan to make myself some scrambled eggs for lunch. He has managed to fit every saucepan and frying pan we own in that sink and I don't like them made in the microwave (Ours is 1000 watts and I can't get the hang of it at all! Luckily we have a spare 900 watt one which seems to work to most instructions of 800w without exploding things. Why don't they make microwaves to normal specs any more?) - in fact I think I will go and swap the microwaves over now, unless they prove too heavy, I will get told off when DF comes home. :rotfl:

It does seem to have dried up now but I'm not sure I trust it long enough to put washing outside. Perhaps I ought to at least push the hoover round instead...

Edit: Oh dear, I don't think I could lift the big 1000w microwave even if I wasn't being careful of not straining myself! Will have to wait until someone else gets home then.
