Twinks hobnobs with straw????? Morning Piq!
Well it would eek it out nicely. Over OS board - I am half way through Mbaz feed family for £20 quid - don't htink she used any straw
Talking of these hob nobs - are they supposed to be crunchy or soft - mine are still somewhere between the two!
Any advice gladly given.
Twinks hob nobs for straw bale seems a fair swap I think.
Not quite cash for questions but its very MSE!Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:

My version of the hobnobs are cruncy, but that's how I like them. Just leave them for a couple of minutes longer. It's a choice thing, I think you'll find.
You can use straw in cooking, not sure exactly how it works, but there's a box and straw involved, sort of slow cooking I think. Probably won't be trying it out!
The £20 thread is brilliant, I used it when I only had £10 left at the end of the month. As you know, I tend to give my self one week out of every month for a personal store cupboard challenge, keeps the costs and cupboards under control!Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30

Morning all!
Sorry to hear that some of you aren't feeling too good - chin up it'll pass eventually....
First weigh in day at SW last night and not as bad as I thought it would be - its inspired me to stick to the plan though and in true DFW style I paid upfront for 6 weeks cos it was cheaper than paying every week and it'll force me to go.
So day 3 of the diet goes like this....- Had manky banana from fruit for breakfast as was in a rush
- Brought lunch to work
- Will make chilli for tea using up loads of bits from the fridge and will stretch it to a couple of lunches too
- Checked banks - only 2 days to payday for me too and all still remarkably OK!
- Did a survey - up to £5 now, I cash them in as Tesco vouchers so it helps with the grocery bill
- Walk the dog for free exercise (one down 2 to go)
- Check phone bill
- Try to sort out car insurance that runs out at the end of the month
- Cancel existing DD for car insurance
- Find something to do that's constructive whilst OH is glued to the football tonight
Have a good day:j0 -
