Was just reading your posts over the last few days and was about to come up with the very intelligent suggestion that you sign up for Marriott rewards, and then what did you go and do a few posts further down , sign up ?!! So I cant instill my words of wisdom now !! :rotfl:

Sorry you are missing OH so much, how much longer is it now until he wings his way back home ?

I have a couple of different timer apps as the timer on my oven has broken and I was constnatly forgetting about things . My favourite one is the one that makes an Elephant Charging Noise when the time is up, the look on my visitors faces when it goes off are priceless !

Safe journey to Edinburgh x

Hi..loving the lists still Kerri. And agree re the pizza. I also make my own dough too now..use a brill JO one off tinternet...then freeze what I dont need. It's about 15 mins in total to chuck on some topping..pesto is good! And do the toppings. Recommend it and it's lush lush pizza.

PS thanks for finding me!! :-)

Aw yes Mrs P I'm really chuffed that I'm getting a free night away because of my MSE ways, sorry I got there before you could advise but great minds hey? I'm really looking forward to getting away, even if I will be working I love driving and getting away from the City.

Brizzled I have a 10kg bag of pizza mix which I got for 99p so I should really make some pizzas with it. I need to get some of those bag closure tie things when I get paid on Friday, we have enough veg in this house to make decent pizzas. I'm a bit scared of making dough though as my bread never goes quite right but I really need to learn.

Is it strange that I don't like cooking when my housemate is around? I love cooking when there's noone in the house and I can just get on with it. I think it's because I make a lot of mess when I cook, I like to start in one place, do something else in a different spot of the kitchen, then something else somewhere else. By the time I'm done the kitchen is a mess, but I've had loads of fun. My housemate is a neat freak though, so I think I feel embarrassed when I cook, especially as she's really good at it. Gotta get over it though, no more take-aways for me! I've not had one for about 2 weeks now, which is impressive for me

I may have fibbed, it was meant to be £10 but it was 99p from AF, hence the confusion, just checked and it's 3.5kg dr o3tker stuff. Not tried it yet, but it makes 50+ pizzas, and as the 2 for £4.50 I bought the other day were the same manufacturer, why am I buying pre-made ones? Silly woman!

Thats the spirit!! Keep us posted...as u will see from my diary I LOVE food....it seems to be a key part of my posts!!

If you need the JO recipe anytime just PM me. It uses OO flour..if you can get that from AF then do buy some..and tip me off too!

i think i'm going to have to try making pizzas again. I have done it before and they were yummy and didn't affect my IBS so win win....i'm just too lazy to keep it up :eek: ! My bread never seems to go right though think i may need to invest in a bread maker!

My fabrics arrived got through customs and everything without additional payment. It's gorgeous although they've sent me one of the wrong fabrics. I'm going to keep it anyway as it will cost more to return, so will purchase some additional fabrics out of my pocket money when I get paid.

Lloy woke me up this morning to tell me I have £1 left in my weekly budget account, I'm glad they told me that as I had no idea I'd used that debit card for my lunch on Saturday, I thought I'd used the other one oops.

Right better get my bottom into gear and get ready to go to Scotland.

Rubbish internet connection but...

Spends:
34p crisps
£1.49 chicken wrap
£1.99 crush them milkshake
£57.64 petrol
£13 worst buger and chips I've ever tasted
£2.25 cola
£95 hotel room

Red are out of my weekly budget, blue are reclaimable. I was quite pleased as I'd normally spend over £5 on lunch meal, plus crisps, chocolate, and a drink
