    Have you tried phoning Tesco to see if there is more idea of a timescale?

    ow ow ow ow ow - my wrist and fingers hurt writing the stuff for the timed assessment - doesn't help it's tiny writing, half the size mine usually is. Think I'll go have some lunch, then maybe go off to Sainsbury's and get some things for during the week. Be back ni a bit.

    What do you do with it Maz? Just pour it over some pasta?

    If so, sounds good to me!

    uncooked pasta the contents of the jar, the jar refilled with water....

    cook for however long...

    take it out, add grated cheese

    cook for however long again....

    hoenstly it was delish... with salad and crusty bread it would be proper amazing.

    and im not that easily impressed!




    Sally - re this potato boulanger recipe from the other day...

    how many layers of potato and onion? and by chicken stock, do you mean a chicken stock cube or posh stock? or home made stock?
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Maz - before you put the cheese on, crush a packet of crips and sprinkle on top then add cheese - crispy, soggy chewy = amazing :D

    We can but hope.
    Keep applying for others in the meantime - just done a student liaison officer one for local college.

    Didn't do spuds in the end - can't remember what I had.

    Just received a leccy bill for over £1,200:eek::eek::eek:

    When I managed to pick myself up off the floor and read the bloody thing it turns out the person who read my meter got it wrong and added about 10,000 units to my usage:rolleyes: !!!!!!

    Anyway a nice lady on the phone fixed it all for me and we now have a bill of roughly £20. Much better!
    Lucky you.....when that happened to me a couple of years ago, ( not as bad thankfully) they said because that was the meter reading they couldnt change it:mad:
    I left them shortly after:p

    Afternoon all. Just wanted to pop in and say hi.

    As part of my plan to make 2010 an outstanding year, I have decided to get a grip of my finances and join in the MSE community after reading the site for a couple of years! I have started a diary in the Debt Diary threat as a motivational tool, but wanted to introduce myself (so to speak).

    So hello, and Happy New Year!

    As many layers as you want hun, I think I normally do 3 layers of pots and 2 onion. Chicken stock cube is grand :) I had the leftovers for lunch today and it was rather tasty :T
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
