    NO this is OS, make your own pinny by safety pinning a pillowcase onto your clothes, and substitute an empty vodka bottle for a rolling pin, and youll be fine :D

    There might be another one involving slow cookers, vinegar and star something or another. However, I think this is probably the next grade up but as I'm new I don't know much about it.

    So far I have discovered that vinegar saves lots of money on cleaning and is eco friendly.

    Well ill let you into a little secret but only if you dont tell the lot in the pub.......

    I currently have my shower head soaking in white vinegar
    I use my slow cooker at least twice a week
    I have made Twinks and scoffed the lot
    I love a new recipe challenge
    Never got on with Stardrops sadly so that may be a point against me - but i did get the spray version on the advice of arms person ;)
    I very occasionally fly lady and declutter my shoe cupboard
    I was a regular on the daily at one time but dont know many in there now
    I have even knitted the odd jumper

    Oh well thats the confessions of a vodka swilling arms reprobate out of the way ..............:):)

    My OH just said he's going to stop watching the news because every day they announce more cuts, more jobs lost, and it reminds him of the 70s, when we went through a very bad patch. He worked in the docks and they were always on strike. Then he left for another job and they went on strike too - were out for 20 weeks !! They didnt pay social security for strikers so I had something pathetic like £9 a week for the 4 of us. I made huge pots of lentil soup and rice pud :)

    Gawd its peeing it down today - was going to go into town as have saved up for some sandals from Next as they fit my flat feet normally! But just saw on ebay an almost identical pair for 3.49. And won them, marvellous - so now I have still £18 left in my pot. Woo hoo.
    Cogito ergo sum. Google it you lazy sod !!
