Morning all, please can I have a PAD today of £38.
That's split between 2 CC's and a WF loan.

Thanks to this tread I have seen one CC drop below £100 and have every intention of clearing it this month (not surre how but I will):j

As an aside, catspaw, (looking at your sig) what motorbike would you like? I have a 20 year old Kawasaki EN450 LTD (with shiny new drag handlebars!) that I adore and can't wait to get back out on! Weeeeeeeeeee! Brrrrruuum

Howderly dooderly PADers!

Another snow day for me, but the g*ts have given me enough work for a week, so no snowmen :rolleyes: However it does mean that I can fanny around online intermittently

PAD today is £5 to flagon and 14p STC, so an icy £5.14 total for me.

I must admit that sitting at my laptop in thermal longjohns is much preferable to a cold office anyday!

Hope you are all well and warm

*meep*

Morning everyone :wave:


Freeeeeeeeeeezing here still!

Hugs to you Paul, hope the weather warms up soon for you!

Whoever asked for the chilli receipe I'm sure I saw it over on oldstyle board! With adding up totals I completely forget most of the posts as I'm too busy totting up :rolleyes:

Millie is still loving the snow lol but she keeps wanting to be let out in the garden to run round like a bullet and she now opens the back door to let herself back in, letting all the cold air in with her!
Anway last night I shouted at her to learn how to shut the door from the inside as well!!! and she ran back and jumped up with both front paws and shut it lol I told the kids and they all laughed but felt like they didn't quite believe me! Anway DS2 let her out later on and she came back in 2 seconds later and ran and slammed the door shut!! :T :rotfl:

Talking of Millie :mad: she chewed through the cable again on the tv in my bedroom! Good job I'm all :money:now and don't leave anything switched on standby anymore as she'd have been one frazzled dog!!! OH said he'd try and fix it for me.

Pad today is £5 ISA, £34 kays and £5 cap1cc

£44

Hi again,

someone, possible f_f or tomtom had a recipe for chilli that used hardly any mince but I lost it when my computer died. Have searched a few threads and can't find it, so if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

Ta

Found it!!! It was tomtom - hope you don't mind tomtom - I tried to post the link but it wouldnt't work!!!:D





tomtom's chili

i have a 3.5L slow cooker, which does a double batch of chili very nicely. this gives me 6 good individual portions (approx 2 soup ladles full per portion!) which i freeze and pull out as required....

approx 200g minced beef, browned on the hob first (this is the only bit of cooking prep)
2 tins of chopped tomatoes
2 tins of kidney beans, drained and rinsed (use baked beans if you'd rather)
2 onions, chopped finely
a few peppers, diced
2 beef stock cubes, dissolved in about 3/4 pint boiling water
a few teaspoons of beef bisto gravy powder
a big squirt of tomato puree
garlic (as much as you feel you need)
chili (i use a teaspoon of "lazy chili" from asda, as a contact lens wearer i don't go near the ones that you have to chop up as the oil stays on your fingers!)
some mixed herbs to taste (the one i use is american and you can't get it here, but one of those grinders with all sorts in it is similar)
a couple of small handfuls of red lentils (makes it go further!)
a couple of small handfuls of porridge oats (helps thicken up nicely)

once the meat has been browned, and the fat drained off, just bung everything in the SC. i leave it on low for around 12 hours and take the lid off once or twice to stir it (but you don't need to and shouldn't do it often as you lose a lot of heat and the cooking then takes longer...). i actually think it's nicer "second time round", which is why i freeze all of it, then defrost as required. mushrooms also are good, but i don't think they freeze well so don't tend to add them to mine. if you're in a hurry, asda do frozen diced peppers and diced onions, it sounds really lazy but they are not dear to buy and saves on chopping time. i've always got some in the freezer for days when i don't have to do much prep. i don't let DH see the lentils & porridge go in, they look odd at first but then dissolve into the mix - not yet detected!

Thanks green that was the one! For some reason it wasn't turning up, but couldn't remember whose thread I saw it on. It was so economical, and I have found some mince in the freezer as part of being organized.

Hello all :hello:

A belated Happy new year! Had a fab time away in the heat. I am sooo cold coming home though. Luckily the airport was just about open when I flew in last night.

Hope everyone is OK. Will have a catch up of the locked thread - love the 2009 total.

Today's pad is a healthy £800 to the HSBC credit card. Waiting for this to catch up online as I put a few hotel costs on it overseas but I am sure its around £6,500 at the minute, it's going to be cleared in 2010 thats for sure!!
