    It's BOGOF in Sains at the mo. Unfortunately I didn't realise there were vouchers too! Just going to have a trawl around to find a recipe to make my own as my family loved the spicy ones. Definitely too expensive to buy normally at 1.99 per bag, which just about did 2 people as there are 20 in the bag. I had to count as I knew they would be fighting over who got most!

    (he points to some plastic cows on the table) are very small; those (pointing at some cows out of the window) are far away...

    Rosie if you go to S**nsbury's go to supersavvy me and you can print off a £1 off voucher for fairy liquid which is on offer at Sainsbury's so you get it for free. Yay. (PS this is a recycled tip from Aesop and 3dogs).

    Hello just arrived home. Crafti and i had a good chat and chilled i think!!! If she feels up to it fingers crossed she might be staying over on Friday night with us and then staying with us all weekend so she does not have to worry. However, work is very stressful for her and it may change. She is wonderful and i hope everything works out well. Steve - no she is not sleeping with you, we are making arrangements - no Steve, nothing pervy ok!!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::eek:

    ooh I will check it out next week at Waterloo station. Do you think it will still be on offer then? I dont need a bag though. I feel so chilled. I nipped into the poundshops just before it closed and bought lots of nice chocolates for everyone to eat. Rather chuffed with myself.

    Thank you for a lovely day. Now if you fancy an uplifting read see if you can find Firewalker's diary. I just posted on it. Do a search in the Green section at the top of the screen and type in Firewalker and meet one of the most amazing people on MSE. Pretty much everyone posts on there and you will meet lots of other inspiring people too.

    good to hear you had a great day both of you. :)

    my voice has started coming back but as soon as Sam realised he said Mummy you can talk and is now doing things to make me talk again. Told him off as much as I could that even though it is coming back, it is still hurting my throat to talk, so I should avoid talking for a few more days.

    But he hates not having me answer every 476 questions he asks in a day!

    DH told me the average 3 year old asks 476 questions a day, he read it in one of my magazines :eek:

    Thanks Rosie.

    The Whitby scampi is £1.49 in Ts but not on Bogof. I bought a packet as I got it for £1.19, but you are right might need to look for home made receipe as quite expensive to buy. DH really likes them.

    Am trying to get more frugal, worked out he has meat at least 2 times a day x 7 days, no wonder I have no money!

    So have started giving him a bit more fish in the week, made lamb curry with free sauce yesterday which he enjoyed. And earlier in the week only gave him egg, chips and beans, no meat involved :D and he actually enjoyed it said made a nice change. But can't get away with that one too often.

    But definitely need to cut down meat bill!
