Thank you for that - feel really stupid as that is really obvious now - I've always gone to the green bar above for the whole site!! and if I post I go into my profile and click on the post and follow in that way - so that I can stay on track if I've asked a question to remember to say thanks and find out the reply. Any way, sorry for hijacking, but thanks for your help - I really appreciate you taking the time to help me.

Judging by the weather for this glorious August Bank Holiday the wettest days are Saturday and Monday and this afters is definitely comfort food!

You are not stupid, even I don't know all of the ins and outs of the site and I have been on for eons

I can rarely find what I need in a search! The BoardGuides seem to be able to locate things in seconds! lol

The boardguides are fab

Your not stupid it's easy to miss things, i find the forum search for each forum is rubbish but the in thread search is usually ok if you know what your looking.

I will post this on the Food&Groceries thread too, but in my local Tesco today they had these tinned tomatoes (chopped or whole) at 20p a tin! The BBE date is Sept 2012 so not long away, but tins last far longer than the BBE date anyway. I stocked up

Mr t has the mushy peas agin for 4p they went up to 14p last week but back down again

I noticed the peas were 14p last night, my tesco has started stocking value curry sauce at 23p a jar aswell which it never has, last time i seen any it was in a tiny in and about 15p. Could be helpful to someone on a toght budget yummy on baked taties, or on top of chips as a fake takeaway. Or ofcourse you could make a curry with it, if you find it too mild some value curry powder will help (wow this is 52p i'm sure it never used to be that dear)

Has anyone heard from the op and knows how she's doing?

I bought the curry sauce last week and it's quite tasty.

Did u do anything nice with it?

I've used to buy it loads because it used to be so cheap but then it vanished glad to see it back, i only bought 1 as i have loads of lidl currys to use (i'm not all that good at making curry so i cheat).

I'm veggie, so I just fried an onion and some carrots, then added some frozen cauli and peas. Then the curry sauce, plus jar re-filled with water. And had it with rice.

Next time I think I will add a bit of curry powder to make it hotter, but I was very pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. Plus it's quite low calorie too!
