  • Ooh how nice that this thread is still going. I have 4 bin bags of stuff for the charity shop and I gave the neighbours daughter a fisher price glo worm lullaby thingy, some brand new curtains and a huge bag of baby born stuff. She is moving in to a flat soon with her little girl so may find her out some more bits too.
    A work colleague borrowed me some dresses for my holiday and told me now that I may keep them, how kind.

    Oh you lucky thing. I have trouble sometimes getting porridge oats here, and use it mainly for an oat and cheese loaf in my breadmaker. Was getting desperately low but managed to get a couple of bags last week. :j
    Recipe is in the Panasonic booklet which came with the breadmaker, but if you or anyone else wants the recipe, just ask and will type it out.
