Well done on having something special to celebrate!!

We were given the lamb so that saved a lot of money.

Squash soup, squash, onion and 1 clove garlic, tblsp vegetable oil. Cut squash in half, remove seeds, brush with 1/2 the oil and roast until softish. Saute onion and garlic, add squash water and seasoning. Simmer until sqash really soft then blitz with blender. Serve 1/2 with loaf of HM bread cut into chunks.

Roast lamb shoulder, HM Yorkshire puds, gravy, Spring cabbage, carrot and roast potatoes. Lamb shoulder is much cheaper than leg, I roasted it on a slightly lower temp for longer than I would do leg. Piled lots of cabbage on plates so they were all full

Fruit salad with blackcurrants from garden, some Aldi specials last week, one banana. Co-op whoopsy greek yoghurt.

Thanx so much for your reply, you are a star:A:A
We now have ripe blackberries
in the garden, so that would save a few bob, I very much fancy the sound of that squash soup to impress my lot.
We are planning it for next week, so I will let you know how it goes,

thanx again

Hello all...thought i'd pop on too...

well iv had a fabby weekend. I was picked up yesterday from work by I Mr arty and his mum, and was wisked to a gorgous country hotel. On arrival I found that we had a suite booked not just a room (for me and mr arty) so had a living room, tv, dvd player. A beautiful bedroom with another tv and views on 3 sides of lovely countryside. We were given a parcel with very expensive champagne and chocies too.

Before dinner Mr arty and I went swimming in the indoor and outdoor pool and in thw whirlpool and juccuzzi (had to make use of the facilities LOL) then had a yummy 4 course meal.

Today mr arty graduated which was lovely and his mum even bought me a present for supporting him so much. We then had a champagne buffet for lunch.

So all in all a brill weekend xxxxxxxxx

that sounds utterly lovely arty

potty is there any chance you'd be willing to ring asda to find out where those RDAs come from?

I know you are busy with prepping the wedding favours though, so just say if that's tricky, and I'm sure someone will manfully (womanfully) rise to the occasion

I could deffo do it, but I see Susan has sent a query

I've just submitted a query to the ASDA nutrition team using their online form. They do say that they won't necessarily reply though.

I shall wait to see if they respond...
If not, I will give them a ring
How does that sound ??

Your weekend sounded lovely arty. Sorry I am a bit late replying.

Ooh, this thread has really quietened down. We need some kind of discussion or crazy idea to talk about. Or a recipe, everyone loves a good recipe...

£800 to do the electrics for my new kitchen.

Does that sound exorbitant?

(utterly off topic-sorry!)

Try the "is this quote fair" board But yes, it does to me - we had our whole bungalow rewired for £1800. Mind you, your kitchen is probably the size of our bungalow - most people's seem to be
