Is a cheese and spinach sandwich that odd? I love them! It's got sundried tomatoes in it too, so it's a bit like a pizza toastie.
I love the pots of sundried tomatoes and mini mozzarella balls that M&S do yummy!
That sounds yummy Ames, I'd add lots and lots of black pepper! I'm a black pepper addict! I even carry my own little pepper grinder round with me in my bag with the best Wynad peppercorns. I refuse to use those horrible sachets of dried up pepper in cafes and restaurants.

I can never make them, but they are yummy.
Oh, meant to say Linda, I can't add anything to the porridge because it's a CD one - there are a few people on FB who I didn't want to know I was doing CD (Mr S included, as he already thinks I don't eat :cool:), so sorry for the slightly vague reply!
Marmite breadsticks sound lush Beanie...are they really that bad? How disappointing.
Now Twiglets.... :drool: :drool: :drool:
Ohhhh this diet makes me fantasise about food! :rotfl:"I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250 -
Am still stuck on working out about upgrading mobile - why are there so many retailers and so many complicated choices
I've been going through this for months. I am on PAYG and was only spending £5-£10 a month, 99% on texts. I wanted a contract with unlimited texts and internet but couldn't find one under £20 which also came with a decent internet phone.
I'm with t-mobile and switched last weekend to their free texts and internet for life PAYG tariff which is £10 per month. As long as I top up £10 a month I can have as many texts/internet useage as I want and then use the £10 for calls (although I doubt I'll use it).
Next challenge is to find a very cheap and reliable touchscreen phone so I can use the internet as my current phone has a tiny screen and pants internet access. I'm looking out at work for someone selling something for £20-£40 when they've got an upgrade and want to get rid of their current phone which may only be a year or so old."Stay Wonky":D

Ok, no worries!

but my farmville farm doesn't harvest itself :rotfl:
thing is - this is normal for every weekend with the normal house type stuff in amongst it and I'm p'd off with it
I have a 3/4 length bath so never use it - you can't lie down in it so I only use the shower.
I don't own any DVD's other than Time Bandits I got free in the paper a few years back :rotfl:

Bookie, I meant with cheese as well, I should have said. A spinach sandwich doesn't really appeal! I will go and try it...Bookie, I hope you don't mind me saying this, but however flippant you were about getting a refund, why shouldn't you? I'm not talking about money, but you give so much to the church, why shouldn't you get something back? Even if it's just a shoulder to cry on, someone to talk things through with, or to ask for people to give you a heads up about any jobs they see advertised? Surely they should be doing that for you, instead of just seeing you as someone with more time on their hands to help out.
Sorry if I'm out of order there, but I've been in a similar position with other groups, where they don't really see the whole picture or how it is from your position.
At one point I was actually 'titheing' ie 10% of income. Thise were the days.
I do have lots of people who ask regularly etc. It seems that the more I try to be 'good' the more trouble I get. It is very tempting to just go away sometimes.0 -
Cheese and marmite toastie gets my vote. I'm having cheese crumpets and carrot soup for tea. Nom, nom
I wish I had such low mobile usageMy parents are disabled so I call them most days often for around 30 mins. I get through over 600 mins a month (more like 800). My text usage is far lower. I'm trying to decide if I would like to have email on my phone. I have a blackberry for work, but keep personal email out of it.

Oh, on the handset point. I think it is getting a bit worn out. It is several years old (I'm quite bad at looking for new deals at the end of contracts) and seems to lose signal more often than it used to/needs charging more often.Debt at highest: £8k.
