    Good morning all, have just earned nearly £15 by buying my OH's birthday present through TopCashback - pity it will take a couple of months before I get the dosh, though! Still, money for just a few minutes at a keyboard, not bad going! Glad to hear spammer has gone, still loads out there ready to attack so we must all be vigilant, chaps!

    I have made a list of all the foodstuff in my cupboards and am bravely going to try a forum other than DFW and see if I can fathon out the OS thread before I order a whole load of stuff I don't need/won't use...

    BL, hope you feel better soon! Take care.

    Writing down all the food I have has made me very hungry, so I'm off foraging for something nice in that lot (it's all nuts and seeds and chick peas and healthy stuff... clearly I eat all the pizza and cake as soon as I buy it ;))

    Nope - it was not nice food at all. I would rather take my own food in but that would make them think I was even more odd. Still I am munching rice slims this afternoon instead.

    Nicca - hope OS come up with something really tasty for you.
    I love chick peas - good in vegetable curry or I like them in a chick pea pie (which is loosely based on shepherds pie), chick peas, onions, tinned toms/pasta sauce and herbs etc in the base (plus anything else I bung in), with mashed swede/squash/sweet pots (depending on what I have in), with a sprinkling of cheese on the top.

    Think the first word was probably more accurate, Tixy.

    Well work finished for a bit, off to have a catch up and wander around to see what's happening.

    Hope everyone's OK today (BL hope you feel better soon)

    Got a big smile on my face typing this and listening to Ian Dury - Reasons to be Cheerful - always makes me smile:D:D
