    how much do you reckon i can get for my spare ribs??? am sure I don't need them all ;)

    Well Adam gave his spare rib away to make Eve. He gained deafness in one ear and lost a lifetime's worth of peace.

    Cher gave hers away and looks fabulous for a granny.

    I hope you weren't expecting much for yours... ;)

    Nope, this is my "nagged to death" side. :o :rolleyes:

    I'm looking for a more startling one.

    Unfortunately, the writing doesn't shrink down well on this one...

    Hi

    I managed to run my errands without buying anything (even though I really fancied an ice-cream cone.)
    I made bread dough in the breadmaker and then cooked it as buns in the oven ( the family don't like bread out of the breadmaker but these went down realy well) AND I whizzed up some cakes so that I wasn't wasting the oven space (and froze half of them so they won't dissappear quite so quickly)
    I also used up leftover potatoes for tea.

    The only trouble is that the bread and cakes are very tempting so I just had to eat some even though I'm supposed to be trying to lose weight.

    February NSDs 6/15
    February PADs £55
    February grocery challenge £67.42/£200

    "Advised" not "nagged". Much better. Well done! :T
    • Bought the cheap shoes instead of the expensive shoes. Does that count?

    "Good value" not "cheap".

    • Bought and devoured Smart Price sardines instead of John West sardines. On Smart Price toast with Smart Price butter with a Smart Price glass of water out of the Smart Price tap.

    Smart price always means something different to me. If I paid twice as much as I should have - now that's a price that smarts...
