    Have had a frugal day. Is my nephew's 18th birthday and i was a tad worried as within the family we all agree an amount and then give that for birthdays. Neighbour owed me £12( i pay her window cleaner) and the money came back from the guides, so was able to make it..phew! Don't for normal birthday's but 18th is a special occasion. No party or anything so don't have to spend on top.. also took advantage of Aldi 49p courgettes, two packets of those, butternut squashes and the cherry tomatoes will keep me going for a while.

    Making a nice veggie stir fry for tea tonight..mmmmmmm

    Pasta quiche, I'm intrigued
    Isn't there a bit of a wheat overload though?

    Can you give a recipe?

    Oh and I've copied down some phrases for my new book - working title "I feel it Rising" about a baker.......;)
