Well I'm back, a very kind person PM'ed me as they happened to have 20 spare pukka pads and we all know how desperate I was for them and couldnt get them anywhere. We had an "Assignation" in a road near me as she's quite local and we exchanged goods. She got an epilator and the extra money and I got my 20 pukka pads. Was quite funny because we gave descriptions of cars and hair colour and probably looked like 2 kerb crawlers when we were looking for each other. It was so lovely to finally talk to another MSE'er who spoke T's language!!!!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:And her name is Arewethereyet so a massive thank you to her for being so kind:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

And Qpranger I didnt have the loo roll out of old Y, forgot to look for it yesterday:(

I know, did think twice about posting about it but being as we are "Off the main drag" here thought I'd be ok:rotfl:I think MSE are more worried about people sending money and getting scammed;)

You know when you've been trouted!



Yes, the friendly smile and words at the till that turn to icy silence, a pout and a glare plus a tangible anger when you produce a Just The Difference voucher.

I had two JTDs and since the trouts can read thought it was best to load up two different transactions.

Was having a very friendly bit of banter with the cashier dolly who was about 50-55, bit long in the tooth, my idea of a beer goggles jobby if we were both 30 years younger lol - and then only if she were the only girl in the world etc you get my drift. :cool:

So it was time to pay for my 2 milks and so I whipped it out. JTD voucher for £1.32.

She took it well, gave a little grimace but soon the smile was back on her face, after all, Mr T can't be cheapest all the time

It was all 'thank you very much, see you next time, have a lovely day' etc until I said the next one's mine as well!

I'd lined up 6 of the £3.20 Persils as that expires tomorrow plus a couple of Cadbury's as they are cheaper in Asda and my wife needs them.

All went well though I guess she was slowly (probably very slowly) working out why I needed 2 different transactions as she got a bit frosty, didn't answer a little bit of conversation I politely proffered and her face went grim.

Sure enough I whipped out my JTD for nearly £20 (6x meal deal plus some more chocolate) and she visibly blanched. She went grey, hard as a bit of old metal, could barely get the words out about that'll be 64p please or something like that. She seemed to shrink away from me as I gave her the coins, could hardly bear to give me my receipt, refused to make eye contact and just looked down at the ground.

I was a bit quaking in my boots actually but had to give a little smirk as I went back to the car: trouts, you gotta love 'em, there but for the grace of dog goes that old blast from the past Saturday night beer goggles jobby that you'd long forgotten.

How can you not love em?!
Butternut squash, pumpkin and carrots all make the most wonderful soups that only take minutes of preparation.

Basically all you need is to fry an onion and then whatever veg you are using for a minute or 2. Add stock and simmer until yer veggies soften. Blitz and enjoy! Simples.

You can posh em up if you fancy when you get a bit more confident. Ie, add a handful of coriander leaves last minute to your carrot soup before you blitz, mmmm!

Above method works with potato and leek too, etc



You need a cheapo value hand blender but it will last you for years of scrummy soups.
The aubergine makes an amazing fritter too! Just dip slices in a quick batter made in a bowl and shallow or deep fry. Sprinkle with sea salt and enjoy. Lovely with a spicy chutney and salad.


Go on, try it out. You know you want to!

I've just tried mussels in a White wine sauce for the first rime for lunch from Lidl. Shame they look so ugly inside but the taste was fab. The lads tried em too which was great!

In other words,

If you don't give it a go,
Then you will never know

(Sorry Eileen!)

Oooh no, they just do not appeal to me at all.

roast parsnips is another one I love.

I love mussels, sis and I went to Belgium the other year with the sole intention of going for mussels and chips (a speciality there apparently) only to get there to find out that we totally missed the mussel season. :doh:

The basis of all my "soups" is carrot,swede, onion & celery. Exactly as you said Jumblejack, leave it to bubble away for ages, blend it all down then chuck in anything!!! Last summer we had so many tomatoes that I ended up making tomato soup from a Jamie oliver recipe(Never usually follow recipes but thought I'd give it a try) It was amazing, roasted the tomatos first, loads of garlic, oregano and stuff, OH loved it as he's a real tomato fan. Best investment ever was my hand blender, mine has just died so got a new one this weekend but realised I bought it when my DS was born to liquidise food when he was weaning, and that was 17 years ago, so defnately had my moneys worth!

oh, neaps is another one I hate. *boak*
