    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. :D

    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. :o

    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 x
    Thank you to all posters:beer:

    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:
