I'm eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge

Quick question??
Would the electric hand mixer from Curry's (£5.99) only 125w be any good for making butter with??
Is it powerful enough??
I binned the last mixer I had!

The £10 voucher offer is back on with this purchase (and others).

^ Probably worth getting a decent mixer, they tend to have more speeds and slower speeds so useful when making cakes. I've got a Dualit one that has been good and was not that expensive for what it is (£45-£50).

V4m, surprisingly Waitrose had English tomatoes in yesterday! Very 'out of season' for me but the English stuff from commercial growers is coming in earlier and earlier now - they were nice, ripe red ones for £1 from the essentials range, for the pets - I wouldn't bother myself, I'd wait for my own but good that I don't have to buy Moroccan ones or from the Canaries as Morries have been stocking.

Lipstick, is that just the cut or colour? Sounds good price to what I have to pay!!

i'm not sure if i posted it here but i'm moving into a mobile home so slimming world has went out the window, we're aiming to move in at the end of april so i really do need to eat all my food, we're having fish (from the freezer), chips and beans for dinner today, lunch will be pasta, and boring breakfast of toast and yogurts, i need to slowly start clearing everywhere out lol.

hmmmmm my 1p Thorntons easter egg has arrived. 'Eat me' it keeps saying.... will save it for when I get back from my hol though as it'll be the day after Mother's day, so a little pressie to myself from ds.

kirri - it's a half head of highlights and cut. Generally only get a full head but can't afford it this time. Hate getting my hair done.

Could do with a mixer myself... maybe after I've saved up for my washer!

quintwins... good luck with eating your stash.

Lynsey

quintwins - are you moving to a residential site??

Kirri - thanks, ordered one anyway as £5.99 is cheap and comes with a £10 voucher. Should be ok for whipping cream etc.

no lynsey we're moving to the inlaws garden, we'll be there for 2 years, at which point we can afford our own plot, and then we'll be there for another 2-3 years, gonna be fun with 3 kids lol. we have to get rid of alot of stuff so i'm already really busy, in a months time i'll be in zombie mode, and sick of eating the dregs of my freezer :rotfl:, i am acually bringing my freezer cause we're putting a shed up for it and my washer and dryer but i'd have to empty it and refill it at the otherside, it's only 5mins up the road so it will all still be frozen but i right pain.

Lynsey

quintwins - sounds exciting'ish and fun, maybe hard work though. At least you'll have the option of the inlaws house at times??
Good luck and just under £7500 to go.

Afraid not i need to update my sig since that total was to buy a rubbish house in town, my new total is £36000 but we'll have next to no out goings when we move. and the savinsg we have and money we have due to come in will have to go on leveling the ground, some fencing (they have a huge pond so we have to make it safe for the kids) then on the acual mobile home and the crane to get it in place and a shed, we think it will cost us £6k to set it all up, we might need a loan for about £1k as we don't have £6k, altho we might talk nicely to our landlord here and ask to leave the stuff that will go in the new shed in the garage here for a month, he's a nice man and let the last tentants do it (altho they never came back for there stuff) we'll work something out i have loads of family who would lend me £1k but hubbys dead set against asking any of them.

i can see living in a mobile home being stressful but we will managed because we will be able to see where getting somewhere, and we can't over buy because we have no room, so it will be very much one in one out for everything , the kids will love living beside granny and grandad and they don't need lots of room, we always wanted to build and were always going to go down this route but on our own plot, this speeds things up abit and it's nearly better to do it before the kids turn into moaning, grumpy teens:rotfl:

Good luck with it, how lovely for your kids to be so near to the grandparents

Running out of teabags :eek: But that should be the only spend today. Got some lovely spinach from the greengrocers so going to use that with pasta & smoked salmon for lunch.

Hi all !

quintwins I have to say that when I worked as a chef at one place I got accommodation ie a mobile home to myself. Spacious for one person but in the winter my loo froze up and calor gas wouldn't work !

Free range boiled eggs for breakfast. Will stir fry veg for lunch probably. OH had crisis at work so didn't get home until 10pm and was too tired to eat. So he's got choice tonight of asparagus and walnut risotto or lamb meatballs with home-made sauce or Lidl tinned pommes dauphinoise with grated cheese on top because it's a big tin and has been sitting around for months and I want it used up.

Need to rummage in freezer to defrost food for weekend. Quite fancy dab or Cornish lemon sole (Morrisons special offer) for lunch tomorrow and duck legs (Waitrose & Morrisons special offers) for dinner if there are any.
