Pineapple smoothie
(I didn't think pineapple would set in a jelly because of some enzyme... not sure)

Oh gosh Frugal - Actually you're quite right. I'd completely forgotten that. Pineapple DOESN'T set in jelly. It could be served in a trifle though.

kidcat

Tinned pineapple works ok in a jelly, or it did in trifle for me last week. But fresh will never set.

My elder son was famous for weird words when he was wee. One day he told me his pal had "twinkles"... my horrible evil wee mind jumped to things like "scabies/nits etc and I shoved him in the bath with a pint of Dettol.
Turned out he had "freckles"...:D
Then the day he came home from nursery and declared they had seen "a Pog". That stumped me until I found out they had tadpoles andddd
a frog :rotfl:

My wee bro had similiar words; bishhh was lemonade, gling, gling was a guitar, anemones were enemies.

Re anemones, he was probably right

Hi guys

Good to see you back greent and made progress.

Good luck on course stilwalker.

well done on bargains jediteacher, my mams offered to get eldests new shoes.

Lindyloo-My youngest 14months has become quite fussy latly thinking its just a phase.
Made scrambled egg on toast for tea with grapes which daughter liked she had cooked meal in school today.

Its really interesting to see how people manage meals when moneys tight.
I have gone without before in order to ensure kids had milk and food ect.
The paxo and lentil burgers not my happiest memory.
But surprising how inventive of storecupboard can be.

pinnaple hubby likes chese and pinnaple on sticks
chese and pinapple pizza.
Dad used to put pinanple in curry may work better with chinese sweet and sour dish.
Im sure you can make something deserty pinnaple
check out grocery challange links maybe.
I have fresh pinapple in fridge might have it for dessert tonight.

Mam made order with argos for new mattress for eldest and pillows.
anyway it all turned up plus 3duvets.
Wondered why would mam order 3duvets we only have one single bed eldests midsleeper, youngest in a cot. Anyway opened one put it on bed.
Couldent get hold of mam she rings back and says been a mistake its meant to be 3boxes of pillow protecters so got to try get duvet back in pack and argis will pick up wed so annoying I wasent to know my mam does some crazy stuff.

Youngest did baby gym today in hope she might interact with other babies her age but she wasent bothered but enjoyed running round and playing with the equipment think she was noisest most mobile baby there.

Popped in sainsburys to get milk and compared what I paid for morrsions and stuff is cheaper plus there basic range is massive got basic houmous which baby seems to have now gone off.The basic flour cheaper at 47p. The 12pack toiliet rolls have gone and nbeen replaced by 6jumbos ones for 1.46 so looks like wont be able to get same amount of toiliet roll any cheaper elsewhere.
The value 80pack wetwipes did doubletake at 17p never seen wetswipes that cheap wondering if its temporary or an error as tesco value wipes are 50p a pack wondering if should stock up and buy 20packs as we get through them quick enough.

Feeling quite tired just about to put eldest to bed just dod her homework shes doing well.
Hubbys cooking curry and rice with naan and poppadoms.
Planning another early night as shattered well watching and falling asleep in front of tv tonight.
The good life programme clashes with spooks to recording it.
Got kirsty and bbc high street programme to look foward to tommorow.
desperatly trying to watch stuff on planner and delete as no room to record new things.

Cold here all day been taking waterbottle to bed.
silly question but how exactly do wheat bags work?
would love to know how to make them.

Lindy_-_Loo

Gailey - the wipes have gone to 17p in tesco aswell, think theres a price war going on! Tesco also have their baby bubble bath at 11p

My son could not say sausages they were sodeges and digestive biscuits were jigestive biscuits........my young cousin referred to a bus as budder...his mother thought he was swearing......it was ages before she realised what he was actually saying.:D:D

evening all, its freezing tonight, icy gale force winds and crazy torrential rain.

Spent part of my day unblocking the drains outside, got rid of loads of gunk but still blocked. OH said he's going to have a go tomorrow. Its pitch black outside so can't do it now.

Been sorting stuff out in the house all day. hasn't been done for the past seven months. I know its really bad, but since i broke my knee cap i just couldn't do much.

So i sent OH with a car full of junk, old chairs, broken tables and general carp. House feels so much cleaner.

Had some news today, we might be moving house, not sure when, but i on a mass decluttering session.
Just spoke to landlady, she wants us to pay half towards getting the boiler serviced and under contract with british gas, as her landlord safety certifcate is due for renewal. She kept "you know its been a while since i put the rent up". Yet the house is a wreck and is steadily falling apart so ne and OH are not impressed.

So will have to see what happens.

Glad to see you back greent xx

Tell her to get stuffed Kezlou, its her responsibility to make sure its safe, does she get the electric check done?

Couldn't agree more, it's her role as the landlady to make sure the house is safe, you're not responsible for paying for the boiler. You pay rent which is meant to cover things like that. Don't pay it.
