Which recipe do you use and do you use marg or butter, i use mary berry recipe and its fab and it always turns out better if i use butter.

I use mostly guesswork rather than a recipe, I've never had trouble in the past but generally use whatever butter type spread I've got in the fridge - agree though that butter is best for it. At the moment am assuming it's down to using a shallower dish than previously and an oven I'm still not completely happy with (the joys of rented flats) so I've a deeper dish to try next time I have enough time off to want to try. Will look up the Mary Berry version though, prob won't hurt to follow it for a change.

Very pleased with myself, made lasagne yesteday and had bolognaise left but not quite enough to feed 4 of us tonight, so ive padded it out with some veggies and kidney beans, added a dash of chilli and i'm just waiting for it to cool and i'm going to fill some tortilla with the mixture, bung in a ovendish, cover in cheese sauce and reheat for tea, fingers crossed it will taste yummy.

Good morning and its PAYDAY:D.

Today will be a HSD, i have already put an order in with approved foods, this is the first time i have ordered anything from them, i registered with them and they sent me a code for 20% off for being a new customer, so have spent £50 with them but seemed to have got loads from them, just a bit worried as i don't know when its going to be delivered and don't really want to wait in everyday next week in case they turn up, hope they send a email or something with a delivery day:o.

Also today i need to go to Tesco to stock up on a few bargains they have at the minute, Sainsburys again for bargains and use the money off vouchers i have that run out this weekend, will use the one that is near to the place were DD is getting her ears pierced:eek:.
Will also nip into boots and check machine for vouchers, will probably buy toothpaste here as i have some points on card, will also pop into LIDl for cheap fruit and veg,

Will fill up with petrol i'm hoping that with me not being at work that a full tank should last the month, especiallly as i have the time to walk to Tesco if we need a few bits (3 miles round trip).

Also need to sort out bits to ebay this weekend as i have had an email to say its a free listing weekend.

Also need to get DS a decent winter coat so may have a browse online in the sales, last year i got a lovely dare2be ski jacket for £15 in the sale, glad i did after the winter we had.

Hope everyone has a good day .
