he'd said for a few weeks (they took AGES to sort sending them) that he had wanted to give me money 'or something' for helping and I obviously wasn't going to take money. Apart from that feeling weird, he needs all his money after losing his job. I also spent £20 of it on a slow cooker and gave that back to him to say thankyou for giving me the voucher. He enjoys cooking and it should help him save money with cheaper cuts of meat etc.

Ha! Have comandeered Lil's little laptop! So I can now chat if I want to.....:T

Its so little this laptop, my sister gave it to me cos she said it was useless when actually it just needed a good clean up! Not enough memory on it otherwise I might have swapped with my soon to be fixed one...although I may get some new memory...

So you will be posting clips on you tube now BB yes! :T

On a slightly bum note I think I am getting the flu that Lils has had for a week.......grrrrrr....

Luci posted a version with philadelphia the other day and I made a posh version but the kids didn't like it as much as my normal version which is

boil pasta



Melt butter in pan
Stir in flour
Stir in warm milk and stir constantly then whisk to get all lumps out
Put in loads and loads of grated cheese and keep stirring

Then put pasta into the cheese sauce (not sauce over pasta - got that tip off the tv last night!) and stir. Then grate some cheese over the top and bake in the oven.

Not sure about the quantities as I just usually wing it....but i use about 500ml of milk if that helps.....

not sure I'll have anything interesting enough to post! :rotfl:

Jacs - Slow cooker - basically any meat and veg. and a splash of water can be chucked in and then left all day.

Macaroni cheese - cook pasta. Cook onion, bacon, bit of garlic and you need to make a basic cheese sauce - butter/flour/milk grated cheese (add double cream for extra yummyness ). Stir all together and chuck under the grill with extra cheese on the top.

Here's a recipe as well
