    how you maage that glam ...... tell me your shopping secert please :D x

    sorry didnt read properly :doh: x

    TBH there's actually not that much leftover just tinned stuff.
    There is about £50 worth of meat which will make the following meals
    Chilli x 4
    Bolganese x 4
    Lasagne x 4
    Beef Madras x 2
    Beef Casserole x 2
    Chicken Tikka x 2
    Jamaican Chicken x 2
    Mexican Chicken x 2
    Plain Chicken Breasts x 7 (for mini roast, fajitas, enchiladas etc)

    So, tea for almost 30 days and I might get more out of the beef, not cut the joint up yet! And as you can see I like my spicy food!

    My online shop is at £55 plus £47 meat (I'll buy my meat and veg in store cos I like to inspect what I buy!) - Might just need to add in some lunch stuff but the online shop includes sponge puddings, jelly, biscuits & 4 tubs of ice-cream!

    Right, I must go to ASDA now that Jack has finally had his bottle and is settled!

    Ugh. A friend of mine's Native American, he lives in a smallish town north of Munich. He's currently trapped in his flat because the police have told him to stay in while the [STRIKE]Nazi[/STRIKE] NPD party is marching through the city.

    FAR easier to make the brown people stay home than to prevent the effing neofascists from doing damage.

    And very randomly (or maybe not we have been talking clothes) ...

    Vests and sleepsuits, loose/too big or fitting and tight?

    I remember a friend keeping her LO is sleepsuits that were very tight on him because 'they were 3-6months and he was only 5months so they must still fit'. Whereas as soon as they are tight when they stretch their legs I put them away and get the next size out.
    :eek: Alice was in 9-12 months at five months. We just went on how big she was. Squashing the feet wasn't really a problem for us as Alice had/has a long body so was in older than her age and older babies have longer legs relative to their body so the legs were always plenty long enough.

    That's terrible. Is fashism/neo-Nazism big or is it unusual for something like this to happen?
