What a good idea could have done with those when my son was toilet training.

Hi Tweets, feeling better than I was thanks. Been lurking a bit. Went out basic shopping yesterday but then needed a sleep. Feeling a bit better for a while, then yucky again. Mustn't be totally better Tweets, as I haven't been near a shop today:(

Loved your story of how you got your Poppy

Glad you feeling a tad better you will get there.

Valid till May

I see these Alpen light bars are on offer at sada £1.50 for a 5 pack so this would make them £1:) not 32p but very good nonetheless.

Thanks to the person who suggested grating cheese before freezing. It is a simple little idea but one which saves hassle and time. I froze when there was an abundance of cheese and put into wee sealed lunchbags.:T It fits into places where nothing else fits in the freezer.

might have been me as i rember telling some-one on here little while back , i do it regular and its much quicker for lunches or for top of pasta dish yum yum:A

After my two I m convinced there is a switch in their heads and until that clicks no amount of coercion works :rotfl:

Bribery works I can confirm ;)

I've been using the Lidl advent calendar chocs mam had already bought her a lovely wooden one with tiny cupboards that she £1 in every day and we had bought her a Maltesers one! Knew the Lidl one would come in handy for something

It makes me feel glad that we do not waste in our home and that we help others when we can because of all the glitches and coupons. How many lives have been touched by the generosity of you all? Thank you to the Elite, every one of you for your support and ideas as without this thread my family would probably be surviving from a food bank too.

It is good to have a reminder every now and then as to how lucky we are. I am eternally grateful for every little thing I have - as a result I hoard like mad (plastic bags the lot). I drive everybody cuckoo about what life is like when hard up.
