    Hi- sorry I haven't posted in an age. Well done on reducing your MFD. I haven't checked ours in ages.

    I have no idea how we'll ever get through all our cheese straws, tortillas etc. I also have a ton of cheese left so I might try macaroni cheese with a layer of crumbled chilli tortillas on top to give it some crunch and kick!
    Most of the cheese bit the dust last night :o.

    Please ignore any underlined links in my posts - I seem to have a virus of some kind :(

    Spent over an hour ironing :eek: while watching Breakfast at Tiffany's for the 1st time. I suppose I should watch the rest of it but I really don't see why it has such a great reputation? Or is it just me as usual :o.

  • I do like Audrey hepburn movies - I cant say Iv seen that one tho, Its on my list. I love Charade and Funny Face.

    Also well done on looking at your January banking, Im not able to face going online banking yet - its probably not going to be as bad as I think but I am not thinking about it until Jan 1st :o

    Head in the sand?...who said that?

    Soooooooooooo................................ about this frugal January......................:o. Off to set up meal plan and venture into fridge/freezer. Of course, this will clash horribly with the Jan lose weight challenge, unless the cheese, pate, cheese straws, crisps etc are actually calorie free :D.

    You too, huh?

    Have told OH that next year we're only buying swiss cheese for the cheese board. The holes are calorie free, so you can eat more :shhh: :D

    Alternatively buy any cheese. Cut in half. It now has half the calories so you can eat twice as much :o.
