    I like the sound of what's been mentioned all ready, but I'm not sure if I'd use it much or not. Any more info on the takeaway book that might convince me? :D

    I'm currently holding out for Nigella's kitchen - I gave a copy to my sister for her birthday and asked her to give me a coy for christmas :rotfl: and also jamies 30 minute meals. I liek the tv series, although not very budget :eek: some great meal/menu ideas.

    just counted - I have 26 recipe books and all the back copies of my good food magzine subscription :rotfl:

    Jamie's 30 min meals is fab :) although meals are not budget :o DS made the piri piri chicken last week and it was gorgeous :j the ingredients for 4 cost me £10.50

    oh Krystal I meant to say, one of the tests I failed was because I almost hit a cyclist :rotfl: the examiner had to hit the brakes :o afterwards I said to my instructor "It was only a cyclist, they don't really count do they!" :p
    We know someone who nearly died earlier this year after being hit by a lorry on his bike. He doesn't know what happened as all he remembers is cycling along and then waking up in hospital and there are no witnesses other than the lorry driver.

    £10.50 for dinner Glad :eek: It reminds me of the Guardian's recent student food special where one of the meals was £22 for four people.

    We have a pan of kaesespatzle with veg for dinner plus leftovers for lunch tomorrow, total cost about €3.

    happy birthday BM and great news on the bag.

    Tara - def not buget. For example, his 30 min roast uses a fillet of beef :rotfl: But I like the prog as its about a whole meal - not just a plate of food IYKIM. And I do think the 30 mins is realistica. He cooks it on tv in real time and I wouldn't find it a problem I don't think. It's good for inspiration and is (so far) all the style of food hubby nd I like, thought to be fair we both like most food :rotfl:

    Glad - I can't wait to try that recipe. Its on this weeks meal planner :D :wave: Haven't 'spoken' in ages, hope your well. It's nice to see you :D :wave:
