    At last our weezl is back!! yay! Now I know she exists cos I see her but was worried that people may think she was a figment! Go on weezl show us fergs gorgeous chubby thighs and that double chin...he sooooo cute but mummy and daddy still wont let me kidnap him...Can confirm that the cake is yummy...didnt realise it was boiled will have to give us the recipe...wonder if its worth starting a new fresh thread with a new challenge so that newbies wont be off put by the length of this one?
    Also dear readers am chuffed to confirm that the geeky brain is back..our weezl is back on form and doing sums...good for me cos I'm rubbish at them! Am doing okish on my budget which has 50 this month for food...19 left and 20 days to go but a full fridge and lots in the freezer and cupboards...do need to buy a broom though!

    Yay! Its our Weezl again:j:beer:

    Been missing you lass....:T
  • Yayyy, welcome back Weezl! :j:j It's lovely to see you posting and to hear about Fergus and your new budget etc, and I agree with ISOM, maybe a new thread with the new challenge in the title so people can see the changes without going through the old one?

    I am sure that doing a new thread would take time but I know lots of people who love your thread would help if needed. Even me and I am not a reg poster I know, but I do dip in and catch up!

    I have been making new sandwich fillers/dips lately and have a couple of recipes that are rather nice - would anyone be interested? I think they are fairly frugal and easy to make.

    Great to hear from you weezl and Fergus is gorgeous (but you knew that!).

    I would love to follow your new challenge but of course understand it may be too time consuming for you to post.

    have been reading this post for a while with interest and would love to follow £90 for the month as this is roughly what i can afford to spend.

    Would love the recipes for pea soup and sandwich fillings as mentioned above please.

    Congratulations on Fergus arriving safely. He looks lovely - makes me want another!

    Hiya slm and bunny200

    the green pea soup was ever so easy, I boiled then liquidised an enormous 1.8kg bag of frozen peas with garlic, salt and pepper and a stock cube. I think it's yummy! I boiled it down til it was a very thick mush, so it's double concentrated and fits into a tiny food saver (each portion does I mean!) in the freezer. I made 18 servings so it's 70cals per serving...

    Sandwich fillings, slm have you tried sun-dried tomato houmous? It's lovely! Will just do some maths and pop back with a recipe....

    Ooh, that sounds amazing. I am having a dinner party next week and would like the starter to be toasted pittas and dips so that sounds perfect. Pleeeeease let us know the recipe :)

    ooh i was just about to delete the link to this thread and here you all are posting

    I would be happy with £90 a week to be honest at the mo as uni is taking up so much time and baking and breadmaking not as evident as once were

    Plus the garden is taking over a bit

    going to look through the old recipes for inspiration

    the neck/shoulder problem i have is in a good place at the min due to accupuncture and physio but i have to have a hyserectomy now(it never rains)

    Doing ok on the 4k challenge but not on 4k and managed to save £2,200 since the new year despite all the garden expenditure!!!
