Aww, no wonder she is feeling like that..what with being dropped, having your bits mangled and whatnot:rotfl:The indignity of it all.:eek:

I must admit, I put myself in her situation, the vacc needle was like a scaffolding pole and the temperature probe:eek::eek: more like a fence post. Poor little sod.....but she'll thank us for it in the long term:D
Still like first-time parents cos she's sooo small. I felt her tum last night before going to bed and said to Mrs P 'She doesn't feel as warm as she usually does!'
Takes me back to the days of the kids when they were tiny....'Shes sleeping well, is she OK?, Should we wake her up to check?....prod, WAAAHHHH, Oh Good she IS alright':D

Ah, well there, i prefer to buy lean cuts of meat and mince my own...less waste and more for your money. Plus if i buy mince, i make it go further if it is leaner as you are not paying for the fat therefore get more for your money. Oldstyle have a whole thread on this and beleive me those folks can stretch mince beef so far you would not need to buy any for a month.:rotfl:

Just my opinion, i love making things go further.

We buy mince and flank steak from Costco once or twice a year - as much as we can afford at the time. The mince is great, we never need to drain off any fat, there just never seems to be any. Even Tesco healthy eating lean steak mince has more fat. They come in about 3kg packs. DH splits them into seven portions, so about 430g per portion and each one will be used for two meals for four of us. They cost about £11 per pack (£1.60/lb approx) so 20p per person per meal if i have my maths right.:j

Will be popping in on my way back down the road next week after visiting the oldies.

so our quantity's are about the same,,,cost is a bit different though
£3 FOR 430grms will get 2 diners ie spag bol and lasagne

but the meat content is er,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,scarce,,,,:o .38c per person

Yes mince one day then a tin of beans added to make shepherds pie or bolognese then chilli. The beans definately help bulk it out although they do add to our carbon footprint especially where DH is concerned:rotfl:

I agree about the tesco one being fatty. They charge a lot too. We have a Costco in the next big town, may have to hunt the old card out for it.:D
