The Girls borrowed my 0% CC and have ordered themselves a new roof for their run. They've promised to pay me back over the year with their egg money!
MWC - thank goodness the girls haven't discovered not on the high st - they'd have a field day kitting out their 'home' :rotfl:
I am well jel of your narnas. Looking at a recipe in Dunja Gulin's the vegan pantry - for energy bars. Want to have a try out in prep for keeping DP in tippy-toppy 'racing snake' physique when the cycling to work season starts up again soon. Can never find squishy bananas when I need 'em
Did look for recipe on the net for you, but can't find a reference to it, only her book.

Thanks Greying :T
My brother is vegan (and a great cook) - I shall ask him if he has Dunja Gulin's book
I normally have to buy extra bananas the week before and hide them from Mr MWC if I want over-ripe bananas! These were from a colleague. I told her off a while back when she had complained that her husband had bought too many bananas and she had had to throw them away :eek:Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

You went on pinterest and got out out again all on your own :eek:. Don't do it again, you may not be so lucky next time - tell one of us and we'll hold on to your belt so we can pull you out after a few hoursPearla*Merle wrote: ».

:rotfl:Pin interst is not safe. At least its free!Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0
