The one on the list this month is a Colman's packet but if I'm making it from scratch I use passata as the base. Does adding tom sauce make it taste better? I'm open to trying anything.

ive never made it but ive always seen it and wondered if it tasted nice .. never done a tuna pasta bake .. sausage pasta bake is lovely x

DD been driving me nuts today - being a typical 2.5 yo I think - answering everything with either No or No Way.

She's still up now but that's only because I need to go and pick DH up from work - his car is poorly and I needed to go and buy food today.

My Tuna Pasta bake is white sauced based, must try it with a tomato base.

I plan weekly - I have a base I start from covering all the bases of white meat, read meat, fish and veggie. All worked around DH's shifts, ie easy to make or re-heat for when he's on lates or when off on early's he can do some of the prep work.

I was pretty early - I remember having to wait a year (til I was 21 I think) though, so must've been at least its second year commercially I paid £400 an eye, it was pre-LASIK I am nearly sure, trying to remember what the acronym was... *ponder* ETA it was PRK

Wow, you were a young 'un to have it done. DH was 24 when he had his done and they said he was quite young then. He paid £600 per eye IIRC.


Feelie - sounds like Toby is going great guns now! Is he still enjoying food? Sorry to hear things aren't so great for you. Have you spoken to your mum since you returned home?


Weezl - how was Fergus' first Christmas?

Mmmm, I love sausage pasta bake too. Until I went to uni, I used to hate pasta and even then for a year I'd only eat it with chicken soup on

The Colmans one is delish. I usually add half a tin of value sweetcorn too. We don't really like sweetcorn (I can't eat it in a tuna and sweetcorn sandwich, or have it as a vegetable with dinner) but if it's mixed in with that you can hardly taste it and it's healthy.

If I make one from scratch, I use passata, lea and perrins, garlic, onion and some herbs (usually dried and usually oregano and basil). Then stir in tuna and sweetcorn. Mix with cooked pasta, put in dish, grated cheese on top and then grill it.

To make a crunchy topping, sometimes I make breadcrumbs from the crusts and sprinkle those on top, or a crushed bag of ready salted crisps has the same result too.

Oooh, I haven't done a white sauce one. Do you make a basic white sauce or a cheese sauce?

feely, were you saying you'd left because you feared your mum was in a bad mood with you? I'm sure it's not anything you've done honey.

ooh I have something a bit mse to say i stocked up on boots own calpol and gripe water(for kester) cos it's triple points which made it cheaper than the supermarkets. Foolishly also went for olbas oil from boots as well though and think I undid my saving:rotfl:

Whats the buzz on baby walkers nowerdays? We had one for DS1 (which is still in the loft, a yellow taxi) but DS2 wasn't allowed to use it (by physio). So I'm looking for a cheap walker... or a jumparoo style thing (then she can't ram me on the lamenite flooring). Or should I just send DH up for the walker... (confused)

Weezl - is Kester bump's definite name?
