    Nice One!!!
    I love making my own HM soup. Now you've done it once you will be forever making it and trying to tweak it.

    It is a bonus that your family loved it too which will be a bonus for those slim months when money is tight :D

    Well done. I started to get into making soups after seeing a book a coupla years ago in a charity shop. I have done a fair few of them and even started to make up my own.

  • Brilliant! :T There will be no stopping you now!
  • Spent a fortune today. Poor cat scratched his eye and had to go to the vets and then they needed more food. Came to just over £100. I don't know what people do on benefits as there is no Blue Cross around here. It was a lovely mild day so I took my little girl to the park. In-laws kindly treated us to a lovely meal out which was nice.

  • Well done! :T Isn't it amazing the difference in taste between homemade and ready bought? So much better!
    Take the first step.
    Even if you cannot see the whole staircase,
    Just take the first step.
