Printer has run out of paper and none left in my brothers room
Will have to try to find some tomorrow morning, I should have a whole ream somewhere in this house but my mum tidies that often that it could be anywhere by now!!

I've printed most of my coupons and just got my mum started on the missions, she wanted my coupons :eek:
I'll have to show her what to do tomorrow so should keep her busy while I cut and hide mine.


quick question
has anyone managed to use the fairy/lenor ones?
If yes, did they scan right or were they manually put through and what did you get?
was after the lenor but mum wants the fairy washing up liquid
TIA

I think nothing of picking up a penny in the street.:beer:

When I was at school the other kids would throw away their loose change, mainly 2p, 5p and 1p coins but sometimes there were 10's and 20's. Quite often I would go home with more money than the amount of lunch money I left with in the morning.:beer::beer:

I tell my son: See a penny, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck. The kids fight over any money found now.

My DS does not like spiders, except money spiders. If he finds one he will play with it for ages, trying to get it to walk across his palm

Maybe it's just me but I have a mental picture of a lot of the regulars on here. I have to admit I didn't think you were anywhere close to 50! I know when I first joined I presumed that all bargain hunters were female so it was surprising to find blokes on here.

So that's my something new for today. Yesterday was FK borrowing kids. Today is zippy admitting his age! Whatever next?

I obviously don't read posts well enough or I'm perhaps jut a bit slow at times:rotfl:! I thought Zippy was a she! Sorry Zippy.

I also have a mental picture of folks on here but I'm willing to bet that I'd get a big surprise in reality.:rotfl:

As to blokes not being natural bargain hunters/posters I suppose that's possibly true but in our case we seem to have a bit of a role reversal in that respect. OH really doesn't have a head for money, bargains and is a bit of a brand nutter(but I still love her dearly for all that just in case that comes across wrongly:o)

Sounds good, I haven't tried it with the OEP, thats a good idea. Other than that I use what you have said and I also put a few good glugs of worcester sauce in some chopped peppers, if people dont like peppers the dried ones are good as they add flavour without anyone knowing. I add an oxo cube, mixed herbs, chilli powder and garlic. If the mix seems a little thick I have also been known to throw in a tin of tomato soup. You may want to add the beans/kidney beans towards the end so they dont go too soft and mushy.

:T Any idea how long I should cook it for? and what do you have with yours? Rice (what kind)? or .....
Sorry for all the Q's

With Chillil, I would have rice or jacket potatoes. If I have guests I would do rice. It goes further and looks like you have put more effort in than just bunging some potatoes into the oven to cook. I am sure others will have some more exotic ideas that will wow the senses though. If you don't get a reply tonight, try again in the morning. JJ where are you when we need you :rotfl:

I thought the rhyme had something in it about passing it on and all day you'll have good luck.:huh:

I found a tenner many years ago and dad made me split it with Westie.:mad::mad:

I buy the whoopised chilli con carnes from T's and they come with white rice. Did you get any of the tacos from the OEP glitch?

Grate some cheese on top too.:beer:
