    Laura, had to look twice at your pasta, thought it was apple crumble, ha! It looks very tasty, I use packet mixes for mine but gonna give it a try soon.

    As for candles, they are easy to make. I don't make them but my sister used to, she bought rectangular sheets of beeswax, you put the wick in at one end then simply roll it up. Beeswax candles burn down brilliant too, and last for ages, she decorated hers with glitter then wrapped in cellophane. You can do fat ones and thin tapered ones. Hey, think she has sheets left, might nick some to save me buying candles, ha! Have a good nite everyone, will try catch up later x
  • Ooh, Laura that looks really tasty! I had for tea the same as I had yesterday, a homemade chilli bean type stew tihng with Thai spices. Sounds gross, but was actually rather tasty. Sometimes I just lilke to throw things into a pot and see what happens :D
    I do that too:D Usually end up quite nice an' all:) It is all food afterall:D

    Poppy - what kind of take-away??! I'm thinking chippy:drool:

    Laura - How bizarre, I was talking to DH about the same thing last night:cool: I'e fgured a cleaning business isn't the way to go as I'd have no childcare for when a bubs comes along:( And no exactly good for client or kid to have a baby in tow:rolleyes: I deffo need something from home! Just need to find out what I'm good at and what will keep my interest:o:)

    Oh and I'm the same about my job...I find it VERY meh!

    Its taken an age to type this so I'll be back once I've pilfered a keyboard from someone elses desk:D

    I don't actually have anything interesting to say though..Oh I'm going to do Tills recipe for my lunch on saturday coz DH doesn't like creamy sauces:rolleyes: So will treat myself:D Btw, is it freezable?:confused:Just in case I do too much? I'm guessing not as it's pasta but thought I'd ask anyway:)

    I've got nothing to say today though... very boring. Oooh- going to clear off my Halifx CC card later today! Only £115 left but will take me over £2k paid back. No doubt I will be back to do a happy dance later :D
  • Okay. Okay, I've had a bad MSE week. I went out for dinner twice, spent £80 on ebay and bought a mirror for £96 - not even a pretty one :mad:

    END. No more. Done. Racked up another huge credit card bill just when it was starting to look manageable. I'm officially done.

    I think I went a bit mad because someone told me what my new (permanent) salary will be (:eek: by the way) but I haven't started the job yet and I need to save up for Thailand next year as well. (yeah, never gonna happen).

    So that's the end of the splurging. But the good news is, now my ebay account is up and running again I can sell some stuff too so this weekend (probably Sunday) I'm going to have a clear out of my wardrobes and shoes again and be really ruthless. I've got like 5 coats I never wear for starters.
    Gah.

    Monkey, Fuzz, Laura - I made that recipe but I froze the sauce before I had chance to think about taking a photo. When I defrost it I'll picture it :D and then tell you if it tastes good or not... :rolleyes: Was easy to follow anyway so cheers for that. Who's the next person to enlighten us?

    Laura what do you think about WNTTAK?

    Poppy time you are such a fit in with us lot :D and thanks for your kind words hun. I miss RR hope she comes back soon and I'm sure she'd be happy to see you here with us passing on your wisdomness :D

    Where's Princess? Do you think she's still recovering from her birthday :T

    Rubes you're doing the very sensible thing hun, well done. I wish I'd done that now when I look back and think about the three months I was here last year without a job, living off a loan and a credit card :rolleyes: not ideal to say the least but for some reason I decided I was "better than" being on the dole - something sprang to mind of council estates and it really put me off even though I was entitled to that money - as are you my love. So enjoy getting back from The System what you (and the rest of us) have spent years paying in:D
    End of 2010 I was £8,007.66 in debt :(
    Today's total: £7,297.06 :o

    Just spent about 5 mins thinking WNTTAK? !!!!!! is WNTTAK?! But then it dawned on me...
    I am finding a bit slow reading TBH but interesting. I'll get air my views when we all have our big chin wag about it!

    Rubes- anymore ideas on a book to send out? Honestly- just pick one off your shelf that you like and let it do the rounds :D
