  • oops, hadn't finished!

    Anyway, she found out he hasn't been paying his mortgage and someone will be coming to reposess the flat she's in!! So she's trying to find somewhere else to rent asap, to avoid any nasties, or being thrown into a situation where she has to move quickly... either way, it's just me and another girl... who thinks I'm typing a lot of e-mails today:o :D

    Yes they are :) Which is a good job really as I now have to cancel and re-do my tesco order because I didn't put the voucher for £10 off on the original one and now I can't amend that bit :mad:


    EDIT: PHEW! The code worked! I think I'd be crying right now if after re-inputting all my shopping the code didn't work!

    I'm not very good at succinct. Why say something in 10 words when 100 will do?

    Argh, I'm itching to get out! But can't anyway, as there's someone coming to fix our cable box sometime between 12pm and 4pm, at least I hope they will fix it or replace it! It's been dodgy for weeks now.

    Yesterday was sort of a NSD apart from Husbands' bus ticket.

    I got Husband working last night too! In order to save money I would otherwise have spent on recipe books, we joined the library a month or so ago and I got out a few recipe books for babies/toddlers and some normal ones too. I've been typing the baby recipes out on the computer and writing the normal ones out in a notebook. Obviously I can't do both at the same time and it occurred to me the other night that whilst we both tend to use the computers in the evening, I'm sat madly comping and typing out recipes whilst he's sat playing games on the laptop! So I told him he could type some out for me, and I wrote some in the recipe book.

    Megan will be 6 months old in a couple of weeks so we have the weaning journey to start again, just trying to think of things to make and hopefully things I can do that Molly will eat whole, and I can mush up for Megan.

    Problem with getting books out of the library is I have discovered a book I really don't want to give back! It's the River Cottage Family Cookbook and it's absolutely lovely, the recipes are all very practical and it's full of interesting information too, pages and pages of stuff about the ingredients we use all the time.

    Anyway time to go get the sleeping beauties up for the day :)

    Have a wonderful day everyone!

    I might look on ebay for it but the postage would probably be a killer, at least a fiver, it's a hefty book. I should put it on my 'wish list' on the fridge! Then maybe it will turn up at christmas or my birthday :)

    Edit: It's selling for anything between £17 and £28 on ebay !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You should do what I'm doing then, if you want recipes! I get a couple out of the library, look through for ones that look fairly easy, cheap and practical (by that I mean something we'd actually eat) then write them in the book. When I get chance I price it up, by looking on tesco.com to see how much it would cost to buy the ingredients, then divide the total by the number of portions it makes.
