I just had to shout 'NOM'.

I have just had my first ever bowl of French onion soup and it was awesome!
Who'd believe something so simple could be so nice!

What a great way to use up my 15 kilos of onions on!!!

You ate 15 kilos of onions???? :eek:

I certainly don't want to be downwind of you later! :rotfl:

Morning all

So pleased MMW that you finally have a date for your op, wishing you all the best. And sending you a hug for everyday until you have it done, it must feel good to now know when but horrible playing the waiting game. x

Nikki do you remember saying last year that you would be in my position this year when I was going through the uni rollercoaster with DD2? Hasn't that year gone quickly! I am now in the position to have DD1 back home after her 3 years away and I can't believe how quickly that has gone.

I find shopping the hardest as so used to buying loads and I just get it into to my head to cut down and then they are back for holidays and I start to buy more again and then I can't reign it in when they go back. I'm embarrassed to say how much bread we have thrown away especially this last few months with only 3 of us at home. Good job I only buy whoopsied.

At first life did feel a bit empty as I used to run DD2 around a lot more than her sisters, as she used to try to fit so much into her life. But I must admit I do now enjoy the time now when the house is quiet and I'm not having to run around as much, DD3 is not as demanding as the other two. But I guess I have mum to focus on. And with them all at home I find it so much more hard work. But I do love having them home too, so I think I get the best of both worlds at the moment.

That's me ;)I'm always doing different meals, in fact other than Fajitas and a roast dinner we never all eat the same thing:o



I do really remember and especially when you could hear your DD crying in the shower just before she left:( I am going to have to buy far less stuff because I always seem to have a housefull of his friends as well.Going to try and look on the plus side, I'll save a fortune when he goes and I like your idea of getting the best of both worlds;)I was pregnant with him 6 weeks after I met my DH:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:so we've never really been on our own so it will be so strange but probably nice to have some us time too;)

I feel a bit daft reading these posts and getting a bit upset thinking about mine. I'm at the other end of things. She'll be 4 next school year and I want to get her in pre-school before she starts full time. I just don't want to think about not having her around all the time. Other mum's think I'm a bit weird as I'm the only one who doesn't have any childcare. She's sat across from me cutting and colouring things and it feels like I'm counting down the days we have left together. I know - I sound all dramatic, especially considering what you're talking about.

Just back from mr T really annoyed they had no price flops even asked at cs and they said not in yet don't know when will be, so I couldn't get half the stuff was going to get. Did get 40 tubs of the Heinz for buby and with half price and bogof and double up paid 6p cash for 40 meals.

Thanks CM

No it's not daft at all, I'm counting down in months how long it is till DS goes..It's that old thing, it doesnt matter how young or how old your chidren are you will always worry about them:o The first time my DS went away on an overnight school trip I walked away from the coach with tears streaming down my face (I didnt let him see:o) But I was beside myself that something horrendous was going to happen to him!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:But their are plus sides to everything and just think how much more time you'll have to glitch;)

:rotfl::rotfl:

I used the 3 kilos of onions that I had open in my basket last night in making the soup.

I now have a net of 5kg onions from Lidl to use that were £1.29 and a net of TEN kg of onions from an Indian supermarket that were 99p!!

They were too good a bargain to miss by far!

Needless to say, our meals are going to be using a lot of onions!
Tomorrow is gonna be a kidney bean curry (rajmah). Another super thrifty recipe (...but also very gas producing:eek:)

I will never get my onions from an English supermarket again if these offers are repeated. :T
