Natty's Kicking her Mortgage in the Pants Diary

Radish72

Thank you Natty, but I don't eat crisps anymore and one packet could ruin it all

Today I have had

3 cups of tea
Full English breakfast with scummy black pudding
Cup of tea
Breakfast pint of Lancaster Black real ale
2 pints of lime and soda
1 pint of Jennings Snecklifter real ale (added for Natty)
1 large Snickers ice cream (after a 4K walk)
Costa iced coffee (at the motorway service station)
Cinder toffee
1 McDonald's Big Mac meal

Don't think I have the hang of this :rotfl:

Totally forgot that you were in AA Crisps version - oops!

I like that you have a pint of ale for breakfast :rotfl:

My food diary is not good...

Benefit flake type cereal
6-8 cups of tea
2 dime bars
2 small slices of pizza (a quarter of 1) and 1 small burger with tomato and lettuce
1 nectarine
5 cherries (bought a pack but had to share, worked out 5 each)
Salad with 1/6 piece of quiche, jacket potato and 2 boiled eggs
A bowl of strawberries with a tiny blob of ice cream

Ebay - can you not reclick it to make unpaid? or if not try the resolve a problem link, failing that, email them.
I find that sometimes they pick up really quickly then other times I've felt like Im pulling teeth.

You've had fruit and salad:beer:

I'm currently waiting on the crap-top clunking to life, so will see if I see a different screen to the eBay App one I've been using on the iPad :cool:

Chilli & lime dipping sauce

1 tbsp palm sugar
1 tbsp caster sugar
1 tsp coriander root (we used the stem instead)
3 cloves garlic
2-3 green finger chillies
juice of 6 limes
1 tbsp fish sauce

Grind first 5 ingredients together to make a paste. Add lime juice and fish sauce. This made loads - we will halve the recipe next time.

Vietnamese fresh spring rolls

Rice paper spring roll wrappers soaked in water and then filled with rice noodles, grated carrot, shredded lettuce, cucumber, spring onion, fresh coriander, mint and basil.

Top tip from Mr MWC's cookery course:

Use a wet wooden chopping board. Put the wrapper on the board with a couple of cms hanging over the front. Put the filling on the wrapper (not too much!), fold the front bit over the filling, fold in the sides, roll up, cut in half.

Following on from Lois' strategy listing, I thought perhaps it is only really fitting that I annually mention on my diary at least something about being a MFW.....

Therefore my savings towards MOPs are;

# no magazine / newspaper purchase

# library borrowing of books

# actually start using lady gym seeing as I pay for the bleedin' thing - so that I fit into my clothes and don't make unnecessary larger size up purchases. You see there was a link

# sail through my degree whilst being brilliant at work to secure lovely pay increase

# fleabag / car boot and TCB whenever and wherever possible

# continue with RM surveys for free stamps, even although at times I find it a right pain in the @ss

# have regular alcohol free months

# pay off CC and cancel. If I want something, I save up

NP:D
