    I only have one recipe that seems to work cookie wise, but boy are they yummy! And they even have fruit in (as well as chocolate, I'm not a complete sadist!) so you can pretend they're healthy too!! I'll find the recipe out, you can try it :)

    Oh its millies cookies on the GC This is the recipe x

    Millies cookies
    They are on the front page of the GC.

    3oz butter/marg
    6oz granulated sugar (or 3oz granulated, 3oz brown. i just use granulated as its cheaper)
    vanilla essence
    1 egg
    6oz SR flour
    pinch of salt
    4oz choc chips.

    you literally just put it all in a bowl, mix together until it looks right, then put spoonfuls on grease proof paper. Put it in a preheated oven (180) for 15mins

  • £96.87 made on Ebay Very surprised seeing I listed the 5 items at 99p and its only "used" clothes :) That means I can pay this weeks rent :)
  • This weeks plan:
    • See "C's" work Monday
    • Town Hall with ID
    • Shopping with Mum (Freebies :p)
    • Also need to write myself a cleaning rota so I can do the extras on a set day rather than more than 2-3 times a week. I think I'm becoming "too" obsessed with somethings :o
    • Meal plan
    • No Spends all week other than the rent tomorrow.

    Thats it for now, I need to list on Ebay and keep up with Shop and scan/survey sites x

    Hope work goes well, have you had a look at the flyby thread? it has really good cleaning rotas and it means everything gets done just not all at nce, altho i'm not sure you could cope with the amount of space they leave beetween washing your curtains, i'm surprised there not faded and falling apart the amount you wash them ;)
