Hope you feel better soon bramble.
Well done vintage! are you going to leave it empty?
Have a good night out Lynsey. There's a wool mix lilac sort of tartan-esque skirt I'm hoping might turn up in the outlet shop, I must pay a visit myself soon.
Lipstick, guy I worked with went to Vietnam and said they had rat on a stick to eat
M-N-R - I kept forgetting about the free Waitrose milk..
Edwardia - I asked my mum re the book, she doesn't have it any more but yes got it from the milkman too.


TODAY:

Breakfast - hm fruit bread toasted

Lunch - cold leek and smoked cheese pasty

Mid pm - 2 chocolate sweets (I have kilos of chocolate...)

Can I join please? Major budgeting needed so have done an inventory of freezer and cupboard. Menu planned with as much from store as I can. Just done my shopping list online (use MrT, print it out and go to store) and I still need to spend £22 for the week :eek:- was trying to keep it under £15 - don't know where I can save as buying bascis and fresh stuff. Oh well, DP wants a bottle of wine - do you think a £3.39 one will be OK - thats the cheapest red they do? I have spent 2 hours doing the list, swopping for the cheapest - just hope they are all in stock tomorrow.

Thanks for reading my rambling winge

Lynsey - hope you had a good time out and came back with more money than you went with!!

Bramble - hope you're feeling better soon.

Lip_Stick - if the rat menu works out, I could start to feed the birds in my garden again to make sure you have a regular supply of rats!
Vintage - well done :T
mummycm - you'll like it here. Everyone is nice to each other and you'll get lots of help.

Today I had a small cheese scone and a little sultana cupcake for 'breakfast' as I wasn't at home.
Lunch was veg soup and one of the yellow sticker bread buns
Dinner was jacket potatoes, yellow sticker veg and tuna mayo

Found lots of yellow stickers on Tuesday - think I got addicted to them!

The list is now under way. I've started on the cupboards......

Had my sausage casserole for tea and feeling stuffed. Served it with toast in the end since it had a lot of beans in. Ds wolfed it down which is good to see. I bought an extra special tear and share bread thing to eat with it, but I think it's too good to have with sausage casserole lol. Will keep it for another night but no idea what I'm going to do with it. Might do Salmon a la creme since I've got stacks of salmon in.

I Googled rat recipes and found a website which infomed me that rats were eaten in Paris during the Franco-Prussian War (desperation I guess) and by winemakers in the Gironde and gave the source as Larousse Gastronomique. I have a copy of this hefty book and yes, it's correct.

So Lip_Stick, if you want to cook up the original Entrecote a la bordelaise skin and clean the rats, then cook them over a fire made from broken wine barrels, making a sauce with claret (red Bordeaux).

:eek:

Lol, fine dining at it's best! They're lucky I'm not keen on wine in dishes.

Well at least it wasn't cat on a stick. Now that'd make me cry.

Bramble - hope you're feeling better soon. x

Welcome to the thread mummycm

Let us know how the stock take went MrsCD. I need to update mine.

Lip_Stick

Yummmyyyyyyyy :drool:

Lynsey

Only lost a few £'s at the dogs........nearly a winner........story of my life!!
Free entry, free food and free drinks though!!:D

M&S outlet shop had some great bargains, Per Una jeans for £5, but sadly only large sizes left (18-22). Did get a bra reduced to £2.50, absolutely loads of them. Anyone near Byker may well get some bargains if popping in. Try again another week. They were actually reducing stuff as we left..........couldn't wait, we had money to lose!!

Food, spent another £4.97:
2 packs of meatballs from Lidl @ 99p each.
2 bottles of garlic flavoured olive oil from Sainsbury's @ £1.32 each
1 pack of bacon pieces from Morries @ 35p

Only popped into Morries to pick up some drinks for my brother and check the bread - nothing really reduced though!!

Sainsbury's had the free puddings in.................so got 5, saves going back.
These are very, very small. I wouldn't go out of my way for any.

Welcome mummycm and get well soon bramble1, everyone seems to be suffering of late.

Supermarkets are annoying like that.. you do a list, go there and the offers you want are gone ! :mad:

Kirri

I'm in love with those rats, super cute!

I might wait till I go past a Sainsburys Monday then if the puddings are that small, Lynsey, rather than go tomorrow especially. Still want a chocolate one though.
