I havent got any lentils-really need to keep some in my store cupboard!
I dont *think* I have corn flour but will look.
There are loads of potatoes in the curry....
Think it will have to be Bisto, lol
Appareciate your help!
The potatoes should have thickened it with their starch. Perhaps squish a few and stir them in...
Bisto is cornflour with browning apparently (so my Mum told me - she reckons you can wash it:eek::rotfl:) so that should work26.2.19/14.1.19: T MC 3629.26/3629.26 : VM 0% 1050/13876.59 : W 0% 100/1485 = 4409.26/18990.85 =25.17%28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%SPC 2019 #073

Yes and rinse those dusty soluble aspirins while you're at it! :rotfl:

Well, not washing my bisto, thats just sillyEmpty pockets never held anyone back, only empty heads and empty hearts can do that -Peale0 -
Elfen,
I think it is great your dentist is going to sort your broken tooth out.
the reason I asked was because back home we call it 'snaggle teeth' when someone has those double canine teeth? I didnt notice you had that when I looked at your photos.Empty pockets never held anyone back, only empty heads and empty hearts can do that -Peale0 -
thanks for the suggestion Bunny,
and we do talk about money and debt quite a lot and i do believe i know all of the debt she and we are in, as she knows how much i am in since when i moved in with her i wasnt in any, had to take on some because we needed a new car (needed something a bit bigger than a feista for a family of 5 (17 year old is current 6 foot 3 and about 16 stone)) and an extension, but other than that my other debt is down to trying to help 'us' out by taking some of her debt on 0% interest balance transfers in my name, even with this i dont have much debt to my own name as i will not take on large amount of her debt last time was £2000 about 10 months ago and thats down to £1400 now
hers have come down as i have managed to knock things on the head when i first moved in she had 4 store cards 2 credit cards 2 loans and 5 cataloges each with smallish amounts on, have managed to gentley get that down to one credit card and one cataloge (that i know off) as i have gradually gotten her to close each account (and have posted the letters myself) however her credit card is still maxed a nd her next account was surposed to be canceled January however it still has 'only £150' on it as she told me the other day
i have honestly tried going over everything so many times and am just getting to the point of thinking blurgh why bother, she hasnt got much more credit availible (since she isnt working) so am probably just going ot get my personal debt down and wait for her ot have her LBM as it just seems to cause problemsDrop a brand challenge
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)0 -
