    skyelark i could never get rid of the cats, even though last year when the fleas i said i would out of sheer frustration, but i never could. Its just a case of prevention and then dealing with fleas.

    great bargain dollydaydream!!!i can sometimes get away from kids sizes too, in shoes as i'm only a size 3 - 31/2 :o

    Just checked my sainsbugs delivery receipt.
    sainsbugs white bread flour 1.5kg 60p
    sainsbugs fast action yeast (8 x 7g) 79p
    sainsbugs basic plain flour 1.5kg 42p
    sainsbugs self raising 1.5kg 42p

    Well the boys are back got a massive pan of mince on now yummo's with added lentils and carrots ;) and spinach juices form yesterdays dinner. So should be good.

    Decided were going to have chips and dips now, i got another bag for OH later, so he'll get some as well.
    hiya Jenni, i deleted some now, sorry about that.

    Have to tell you all. At the grand age of 57 and three quarters I have just been offered, and accepted, a full time proper job! I'd reconciled myself to the scrap heap because of my age, but I got it because I have the experience.

    Can't believe it. I've been looking for A G E S.

    Congrats & well done Jamanda! :)

    We have no room for stockpiling but I'd be worried about flour getting damp or bug infested if we had lots in storage.
