You should try living on pulses...the effects are 'windblowing 'not mindblowing!!!:D

I have 2 big tubs of beans that need soaking and take 10-12 hours. Might make some kind of bean thing with lentils. Although not sure it'll help the weather, it's already blowy round here :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

rosiest i would put it all up
and even if you dont pay it all off, you should be happy with the massive chunk that you WILL pay off by the end of the year

kerri ooh just think of a nice beanfeast

?does anyone know if you can freeze pulses once you've cooked them?
I have loads of red kidney beans and cannellini beans!

Hi Jemma

Can I join? myself and DH owe £9,000 split between a loan from my parents when I had to sell my house in negative equity, which was hard, but I couldn't afford to keep it either and our credit card, which usually has a zero balance but has kinf of crept up over Christmas


Would love to get this paid off and get some savings together - oh and I need to lose a heap of weight too

Apparently you can linky, which I didn't know, so will be trying this later this evening. I might try to make my own kind of baked beans, with tommy sauce and cannelini beans om nom nom

If you get sick of eating crackers you can crush them and use them instead of breadcrumbs for coating things like chicken or fish. Or if you make pasta bake sprinkle some on the top with some cheese (or without the cheese if it upsets your tummy ).

I always freeze beans because it's such a faff soaking and cooking them for ages, make up a big batch then freeze in portion sized bags or pots.

In light of my refund of charges more money from Vanquis this morning.

No 149 the grand total of £0.52, bring me to £931.43

The rate I'm going might hit 4 figures this month. Fingers crossed hey!

Do you freeze them just as they are, so like you get peas or do you freeze them in water? Sorry bit new to the whole soaked beans thing, hence why they're still in tubs and haven't been eaten haha. They do look pretty though
