    The world of Bookie is fairly grim. Bank paid the mortgage but charged me £25. It's going from bad to worse.

    Just done CRB on a volunteer.

    I love the Oats so Simple sachets - stock up when they are on offer.


    Hang on in there:j

    need to do a list of ingredients to put on store cupboard thread for some help

    i have put money in bank for d debits and paid council tax, posted some ebay parcels i'm now left with £48 to last till a week tues, out of that i'm gonna need to get gas and leccy and sandwich stuff for school, suppose i could have a go at making savoury stuff

    Definitely get a list up there - you'll be amazed what they come up with.

    Muffins are flour, eggs, milk, oil/marg/butter, sugar, and whatever you want to add, not sure on measurements as I usually just guess when I'm cooking, usually turns out OK :o - banana ones are good, I've made savoury ones too like cheese and onion (obviously leave the sugar out there :rotfl:).

    Beanie - someone I used to work with used the voice recognition and had a lot of trouble with it. It just seemed to type what it liked!
