    The bbq pack has the following:

    8 HM burgers
    8 HM sausages
    8 chicken breast
    8 Chicken legs
    8 Lamb chops
    8 Frying steaks
    8 Pork chops

    These can all come with marinades or not I always go to the man there because he gives you more :rotfl: I think his wife deals with the money side and always gives you 6 of everything :D maybe she's been on here and got tips :money:

    This usually lasts us all month also buy a whole chicken twice a month as well for Sunday or a mid week roast

    The BFTNE has just rang he has had an offer from a PPI claim I made for him on one of his loans the loan was for £26000 and they made him take PPI he's not long finished paying it and he's been offered £4600 back :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j I am offically the best G/F in the world apparently lol. He was asking what me fees were so I said he owes me and dd a meal out when he's back down :D well that's more than paid for the holiday in August so he is so happy bless him. He's still waiting on the other two getting back to him now I think he will get about £10000 fin total from the 3 loans maybe more because I didn't realise how much he had paid in PPI on that one what a rip off :mad: :eek:

    Well that's put a big smile on my face for him :D:D:D:D

    I know fae the problem is we are on the route to 4 schools on this road and I have seen kids throw the rubbish and their parents haven't said anything to them dd wouldn't dare she puts it in her pocket until she gets home because she knows she would get a right telling off. If I don't pick it up today though then it just seems to attract more it's like people see and think other people have done it so will I gets on my nerves lol ok rant over

    Mum has just been round she's been clearing out the loft and given me a pasta maker, a ton of wool and a cross stitch kit she never got round to making she's asked me to do it for her and she will make me some clothes if I get some material :D.

    I can make nettle pasta now had it once and it's lovely and I kept a patch of nettles in the garden mainly for wild life but now I can eat it too :D don't think I will ever convince the BFTNE to try it :rotfl: he hates pasta lol.

    It's true another (wo)man's junk is another (wo)man's treasure :rotfl:

    Nice job on the PPI! Awesome news!

    I'd love a pasta maker ... I have the ravioli tray but will probably never get around to using it, lol. Been a busy old day today - home now for a bit of a rest, and then we've tomato soup with HM croutons for tea. Still trying to lose a bit of weight!

    Trying for daily wins, and a little security in an insecure world.

    Ty kitchen and badger I know love the pasta maker made basil pasta last night with cheese sauce slightly different from the meal plan :o but of course i had to make sure it wasn't faulty :rotfl: the BFTNE only eats chicken, gammon, potatoes, processed peas :eek:, and carrots I kid you not that's the total list of his diet :rotfl:

    I will try and change him and get more in his diet but on the up side he is really easy to cook for :D

    Plans for today:

    [STRIKE]
    • Take mum shopping as cars broken down and she said she would buy me lunch
    • Sort out dd's old toys for the bring and buy good excuse to get rid of a load of her old books
    • Hoover the house through
    • Mop all down stairs
    • Dust whole house
    • Clean both bathrooms
    [/STRIKE]

    I finally got round to clearing out the under stairs cupboard it was a right mess it had become my junk cupboard looks a lot better now nothing worth selling in there but I was hoping :rotfl:

    dd has a cake sale again next week as the torch is coming through here so I am going to make red, blue and white stripy cakes on Saturday :)

    Right best go and pick mum up and take her shopping
