Candy0107

Afternoon all,

Pixie, thanks for starting the thread today

Happy Mondayness to one and all

Happy Candy is back on the ball (and as sarcastic as ever!)

Today I have/will
• Will try for a LSD – Need to pay for parking as going out tonight….only £1 ….might also have to pay for mums travel tonight
• Got free tix to see a show tonight (they cant make it as going to a funeral up north tomorrow)
• Make an effort to be nice to everyone today – failed…see the email below regarding a netbook that has since died
• Checked my online banking
• Meals from storecupboard
• Used railpass to get to work
• Charge phone at work later
• Read newspaper online
• Need to check out the freebies and the competition boards
• Enter comps online
• Washing on a quick wash 30 degrees
• Will read the thread tonight when I get home





Email to Dabs.com:
I bought a refurbished Acer Aspire netbook from you in September and it has died. There is something wrong with the BIOS and it has packed up. As a result I have lost a number of key documents (there was no indication that the netbook was about to die). This was a replacement for an order which was delivered with the wrong software installed.

I have since read that you offer 90 day guarantee’s on your refurbished goods - surely you should trust employee's work enough offer a years guarantee, and I would be excluded from taking out extra insurance as this is a reburb.

I take it that I am not able to arrange a refund/replacement for this machine, and I am dismayed that I can not contact a member of the customer service team to talk this trough.

I chose to buy from Dabs as I worked for one of your suppliers and I thought that I would not get ripped off, but it would appear that I was wrong. I regret making this purchase and wish that I had bought from somewhere else.

If you would like to discuss any points raised in this email, please come back to me.
I know they will not answer my email, but boy did it make me feel better!


Have a great day everyone

Forgot to mention that I'd lost another pound at the Monday morning weigh in. Progress is not exactly spectacular, but its steady. Its now 15lb in 11 weeks.

fantastic Karb really pleased for you - and of course your neighbours who saw you topless ironing! :rotfl:(also am secretly jealous as not very good at dieting & keep blowing all my hard work ) Think am gonna take a leaf out of your book & go for a run in the woods in a little bit

Good morning everyone,

Thanks for starting us off Pixie, do you mind sharing your recipe for meatballs with tomato & pepper sauce? Sounds delicious!

Hi Perni - the recipe really is a nice easy one - probably not as fancy as it sounds:rotfl:I think I got it from 'Jamie's school dinners' cookbook...my youngest is the expert, she usually makes the meatballs and I do the sauce;)
Here you go - for the meatball mixture, in a bowl mix up a 500g pack of minced beef with 2 crushed garlic cloves, couple of big spoonfuls of grated cheese, a beaten egg and some breadcrumbs (i use the outside piece of a loaf). Mix all this together, make into meatball shapes and pop in the oven on a tray, gas 4 for about 40mins...I turn them halfway.
For the sauce, it's an easy tom sauce - fry off an onion, add garlic and a load of chopped pepper, then a tin of toms when the veg are soft. Chuck in some tom puree and simmer for about 20mins.

We serve it on pasta and cheese on top.

This has been one of our staple meals for about 6years now:D It was probably the first main course dd2 learned to cook - she's now 11 and still loves it:p
