    No, Arty, you're fine. Just make sure you rapid boil them for 20 mins at least, and then watch them as they'll probably need a shorter cooking time having soaked for so long.

    Oh, and make sure you discard the soaking water and give them a wash under the cold tap before putting them in fresh water to cook.

    Weezl, just to check - are we happy with the fact that Shirl week 1 is 6 days only ? Or should I tag the last day of Week 5 on as Monday of the first week ?
    good point! I am meaning a full elapsed week's worth of food so 7 days worth :)

    Ok just tried it with my mums postcode and it shows the 750g available so just me I think Weezl.
    yay (poor kitty if she lives near you tho!)

    Does that mean you've lost your list, or can you carry on now with the list but with the right oats :D

    it's a shame really, because you totally would think all that was available was the pricier one, and have to spend more, cos I doubt many online shoppers are determined enough to search by product code :rotfl:

    And I'm guessing the allowing for it ness is so vague cos we don't know what they'll pick that we can't produce it. Is that right? Therefore no point? :)

    Would it not be better to have links to nutritional info (if CFR is able to support this at this stage) so that if Shirley/Kitty/whatshername want to try other things/adapt the planner to their tastes (learning to fish) can find the nutritional info they need to design it for themselves? Maybe with a few tips on high but cheap nutritional foods too?

    does anyone feel able to attempt to recruit a particular MSE user to give us a hand?

    this would involve a pm, and an explanation of who/what we are.
