Use the 15 minute rule...

When I have something I'm dreading or just plain don't want to do. I promise myself that I'm going to do just 15 minutes of it. If I still want to leave it then, I can. I can't think of any time that I've used the get out. Once you get started it just seems to flow

Moneypenny, you're full of good ideas :T

lily I added cinamon to my last banana cake/loaf and it got the best review of any banana thingymygig I've made to date x

Ohhhh, that sounds good - unfortunately I haven't got any but have added to the shopping list for the next time I go to the supermarket;).

How much do you add? (my recipe makes a loaf tin size).:beer:

Hiya everyone,

Can't believe how busy the thread's been - especially with the forums being down for a bit yesterday

Have finally recovered from my wee hangover but it did take a while ... not so good

Just weighed myself for the first time in ages and I've put on about a stone!!!! :eek: I've not been running in ages as I've hurt my knee and I've just been eating rubbish SO I am now determined to get back to the fitness level I was at in September when I did a half marathon. Going to book a physio session for Thursday and see how my knee is doing and hopefully get back to the running

Anyway, my list for today: -

• checked for surveys but there were none
• made HM bread
• had all meals from stores
• NSD
• made soup for lunches during week
• dough in BM to make rolls for with soup for lunches
• was going to make flapjacks or banana bread but now that I've decided to be super healthy I'll not bother
• washing now up to date
• tidied house

Feet up now as DS is staying at his granny's tonight so chilled night for me - might watch a movie ... have a good night whatever you're up to x

ok firstly have you got a oriental supermarket near you? I get my spices & herbs from there much better value for money

and I put 1/2 a tspn for every 220grams of flour

Unfortunately not - I live in quite a rural part of Scotland... even the nearest supermarket is around 15 miles away!

This brings on one of my major problems in trying to cut supermarket costs. Asda is 15 miles and Aldi nearly 30 miles - in another direction. I need a specialised milk which only Asda sells so basically have to go there. I try to alternate between the two (not viable fuel wise to visit both) but wish I could just go to Aldi as it's so much cheaper.

Used to live in the city and one of the few things I miss is the Chinese supermarket as there was a fab one there. (I quite fancy a visit so may start a list and have a trip up in the Spring)!

I'd probably need around 1/4 tspn!

Thanks DNMS

Wish I could claim it for my own. I trained as a life coach a while back and it's one of the tools that you find most useful. I use it on the kids at school regularly. :rotfl:

Off to update the giving up coke and caffeine thread then off to sit in bed with a cuppa and a few films.

Night night all

My day was thrown out at 11am when I heard my ex's lovely partner died this morning so DS2 and DD were on their way to Wales to support their dad. I haven't really settled to do anything all day. :o:o
