  • Hi i am new to posting but can I can join? I been doin this on my own and up to 3 NSD's but then thought I should post which will encourage me more. I am terrible for going out in lunch breaks to buy lunch and rubbish. Once I work my way around I'll update my sig and things.

    Ok ladies (and lurking gents)...

    Last night as part of my Reductions Megahaul I picked up some puff pastry which was a mere 15p. I've never done anything with pastry in my life....what can I use it for??!
    The others ^^ have given a few good ideas, last reduced lot of pastry I got, I made some pasties with some left over brisket:
    • I used the whizzed up left-over veg to keep it moist (but not dripping wet)
    • Cut out circles using a small plate/bowl,
    • Put some stuff in the middle just off centre
    • Fold over one half and stick to the other edge using egg & milk mix. Crimped the edges too to make sure nothing escapes
    • Make a couple of holes in the top to allow steam to escape, then wash with more egg/milk.
    • Cook in hottish oven until golden
    Mine were scrummy! The extras I froze, came in very useful for lunches a couple of times! :D

    Before I forget, NSD no 3 today :j. Hope to nab another tomorrow.

    Enjoy the rest of the day folks x

    OOh - unexpectedly another NSD today!! So that's #3 - and I really didn't have to try too hard. Went into town to the gym and the library - and resolutely didn't go into any shops! Despite DH inviting a friend to supper what we have will feed three easily, so no need for a food spend either! Now if I could just manage tomorrow as well....
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!

    I likes it here, think I'll hang around :D

    NSD #4 :D
    For the beginning of the month this is truly unheard of :D
    I just transferred £100 into my savings account. (actually just did a little dance there)
    I WILL leave it there. That is my weekend away with my husband (who I haven't seen for nearly 3 months, and he'll be home the day after Valentines day :D ) boy do I need that weekend away!
