Comments

Aaargh :mad: - I just typed a really long post and pressed the wrong key and lost it. It was really witty, and inspirational and everything, honest! Oh well, I shall now revert to my usual guff.
Nice to see you back on the straight and narrow Marru.
Hope you had fun at the Italian, Mogchops.
Today I
1) Sc 10p + 10p
2) Took the family out and cocked up the opening times so arrived as the place shut, thus saving me money - but annoying everyone in the process.
3) Ended up in the shops, and just spent £3 on hair dye for B.
4) Went home and watched Spiderwick on DVD with the kids, having bought it for £1 last week.
5) Hokey cokey
6) Housework. Used Lidl's bathroom spray for the first time and thought it was great.
7) Online survey.
8) Ate the bread I made yesterday. It was not bad!
9) Wrapped B's Dad's bday present using old wrapping paper and card from stash.
10) Picked up a free Fame goody bag for B from WH Smith.
11) Read charity shop book for cheap entertainment.
12) Spoilt all my good intentions by going halves with OH on a pizza delivery. But I did use a BOGOF code from here, in my defence.
I hope your saturday evenings are more disco than mine. I'm off to pluck my eyebrows now.
Livin' the dream, me!

Thankyou Katy, that recipe looks great!
Now I am going to ask a silly question but if I wanted to buy fresh yeast where would I get it?
I am used to getting the dried sachet yeast but saw them using fresh on economy gastronomy and feel inspired!
Will have a bash at that recipe this week Katy!
Night all, should definately be inbed already! x x xThank you to all posters:beer:0 -
