    i mix and match my spuds - 5-10 mins in microwave, 30 mins in over

    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    might be a stupid question but how long do baked spuds take in the oven? i usually do mine in micro but fancy crunchy outer today


    if you're doing scabby turtles, wouldnt you just micro them, scoop out the gubbins etc etc and then they'd go crispy when you put them back in the over for the scabby part?

    double oven-age might make them too tough later.
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Whenever I do jacket potatoes I put them onto a metal skewer (usually get two on one) and they cook quicker and then only in for about an hour, but again it depends on how big they are. x

    Can't stand jackets made by microwave, they taste funny. I always bang em in for 1.5 - 2 hours depending on size and crunchiness - both me n Pint LOVE crunchy ones.

    Went to dentist.....need to have 3 fillings and she's gonna do something about my snaggletooth, and referred me to hospital so I don't have to go through another extraction.

    ETA: Is it a good or a bad thing that Level 1 of Jillian Micheals only leaves me slightly out of breath?

    Looks nice doesnt it?

    Not been to Blackpool before and apparently the package deal that this is on was £110 p/p but of course, my friend paid for me! Well, she paid £50 (I have told her I would pay her back) and the 2 people that dropped out have each paid £30. (As they had booked the places then dropped out grrrrrr)

    We go to the hotel, have a swim and 1 treatment (I think I will have a massage) and then we go to the show where we have dinner and a few drinks then to some dance club-now, I am passed the dance club stage and my friend who I am going with feels the same so we are going to sneak out at the point and go back to the hotel to SLEEEEEEEP! lol
    Breakfast in the morning then the 2 hour drive home!
