    I am sure you will not have chosen someone annoying!
    (I want the power of the apostrophe back! Sounds like babelfish has translated everything I say)

    allegra did a good job of summarising our USP earlier didn't she?


    OK we've built a website, with a month's worth (and another month in the pipeline) which meets all uk recommended heath parameters, for 80p a day from one shopping list (provided) broken down into meals and snacks for every day of a 31 day month (provided) with all the recipes (provided) and at the end of the month there is nil wastage.

    So it's a family of 4 for £100 per (31 day month) or £25 a person. All in.

    And we've to date had great feedback from our recipe testers and 73000 page hits (since we launched on 7th May)

    how does that sound?

    what's up with your apostrophe?

    is it very awful that it's gone?

    would you call it a catostrope?

    (see what I did there?)

    Right I have arrived *cue large showy entrance type thing* ta daaaa :cool:

    Appologies to Sian, this weeks special guest does indeed appear to be me and I specialise in annoyingness! :o I also have no superstar qualities whatsoever, but I did once row in the World Championships, does that count for anything?

    So Ok the idea is ace, I love the sound of this website, but whaddya need me for?

    Oh and where is it?
    I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
    (Ok, one of them is powerless, spiders can be nasty.)


    As of the last count I have cleared
    [STRIKE]23.16%[/STRIKE] 22.49% of my debt. :(

    oooh another funny story:
    fergie goes to a childminder on a friday afternoon (a little luxury for me and kessie:o)

    and so this friday he and the childminder made father's day cards, using a lot of pink glitter.

    Anyway, as I overheard on friday evening as DH changed Fergie's nappy before bed:

    'good grief! It's everywhere! Why do you have a glittery penis?'

    I suppose sometimes you just say these things out loud before thinking about it? :)

    yay hannah is here :T:T:T

    I think you have a keen eye for research, and we quite frequently need a lot of that to justify the 'dirt cheap but still healthy' part of the planner :)
