I suspect this is precisely why Black Saturn has not posted her budget before now.

I've printed every meal planner that anyone has posted lately and they are all inspiring.

I think Black Saturn is doing a great job. :T

I have to agree with you! black-saturn was asked to post her menu planner and thats just what she has done. I don't think she deserves to get such a rough time for it!

Lets just be thankful that people like Black Saturn take the time and effort to try and help others. It's a shame that you reacted in the way you did. I would certainly be offended by your attitide. I just hope she accepts your apology. Perhaps you should have a bit more consideration towards other people who are just trying to do their best and bring up their families to be potential money savers!

The problem with posting on a public forum is that posts invite comment and people comment on what's been posted. By and large MSE is a good site with courteous posters, but don't forget all posters are anonymous. :rolleyes:

For all we know Black Saturn could be a 20 stone male plumber and Curry Queen could be a retired headmaster! :rotfl:

And I could be a 16 year old youth with acne and a serious chat room habit.:eek:

DD is entitled to free school meals but we've had alot of problems with her only being offered a roll and a desert as they go in last so have started giving her a pack up again. Her sarnies are normally marmite, cheese or ham.

Hope this helps someone.

Black-Saturn - I'm another one who copied and pasted you recipies and I'm hoping to try them out soon ( I think Im gonna adopt your soup recipe and add some ingredients to feed us all and try your cobbler as well). A big thankyou for taking the time to post them all. I like to see weekly menus along with the recipies and the costs. Id love to see some more and hope you are not put off by some of the threads on this post. We all live our lives the way WE see fit and this is up to us to decide, as individuals. Enjoy Germany x

Lord E has already mentioned that a chocolate cobbler sounds yummy. Well done, any one got any similar easypeasy recipes plse?

I've got a brilliant recipe for chocolate fudge pudding that is a bit like BS's cobbler,although it is more expensive.I'll post it on the recipe board thread.

Yes you're absolutely right Dora, must remember to take people's comments with a pinch of salt. Whoops! was that mentioned in Black Saturns menu planner :T
