    :DMaybe we should all hound the BBc and demand a proper budget cookery programme

    and demand the return of Shirley Goode while we are at it!;) and the return of "Scrimpers" though I can't remember which tv co made that programme.:o

    I saw the first trailer for it last week, both DH and I sat there, watched it and said at the same time, "bet we could do it cheaper".

    Says it all really :D

    I bet they can't be the 9p tea I had tonight.

    Two slices of long-life bread, squirt of Tesco's own salad cream and half an 18g packet of Tesco value crisps.

    :)
  • I too remember Shirley Goode back in the 80s when my children were small. She knocked pounds off my food bill. I still have her cookery book. She used to cost everything to the spoonful.

    She lived in Leeds as I did at the time and I would occasionally see her in the supermarket. She was a very large lady, very down to earth and I'm sure practised everything she preached. Bring her back!
