    What are the "daily clicks"?

    If you have a look on the "Up your Income Board" there is reference to this, under Pigsback and possibley other companies. A lot of MSE ers have given up as it takes a lot of "clicking" to get a voucher but the idea is that you click on banners and by doing so earn vouchers for boots etc.

    Morning all,

    Olive I can't believe you managed to bake yesterday after all that trailing around! I got as far as finding the recipie for Twinks Hob nobs then discovering I didn't have bicarbonate of soda.

    I have:-

    1. Got up and come to work (coz I need a job)
    2. brought lunch (very exciting cheese sandwiches.
    3 Have dinner ready prepared.

    On getting back from the meet at Leeds I suddenly decided I was hungry so, inspired by Elantan made a sort of fried rice dish. I did this a couple of weeks ago and seemed to be eating it all week - I think I will be again this week.

    Note to self - rice expands so you only put in a quarter of what you need!

    Have a good day all.

    Anyhoo, today I have:
    *only bought enought on my oyster card to get to and from work by bus

    Copied from Hypnos thread last week:
    Ok been busy but here is the recipe for Jaffa cake bars:

    3oz butter
    3oz sr flour
    3oz castor sugar
    2 eggs

    Cream butter and sugar together, mix in flour and eggs
    spread into a swiss roll tin and cook for 20 mins (I did it at 170)
    Filling
    3 tblsp apricot jam ring of 1 orange heat gently to blend
    spread on cooked base then cover with dark cooking chocolate (if you add a drop of oil to melted chocolate should stop the top cracking when you cut into it)
    When set slice into fingers

    but I now can't remember who posted it - sorry
