Bit of a grey day today so after taking DS to opticians I've cleaned the fridge and the rest of the kitchen and after 3 years I have finally located and washed the filter on the dyson:o (shhh don't tell the fly ladies or they'll have me flogged).

Hot up here again, just had to go into town so melting... Still done now and can go sit in the garden, got bargainous strawberrys - 2 punnets for a pound so one has been made into two tubs of strawberry frozen yog, not bad for 95p:D DS prefers creamy icecream but will be happy enough with some meringue broken up in it. Got a free lettuce as "it's yesterdays..."
Had a get together planned for Friday but it's been cancelled, probably just as well as there will be no money left over this week - fiver to do me tomorrow although as DS has no intention of spending time with me apart from meals it should be fine... teenagers - pah!Mortgage OP 2026 £350/2000Mortgage OP 2025 £7700/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

How did you get on at the ££ for clothing place SS? I've often wondered how it all works....
It's not exactly sunny on the east coat just now, but very warm....I have been looking up 'make your own icecream recipes for people without an icecream maker' so may give this a go if I cba going to the supermarket for necessary ingredients.
Your HM yogurt sounds very nice - I like the thought of meringues also nom nom nom:)February13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)

Still not been to the clothing place yet Nats, keep finding yet more stuff to sort through...
I make icecream without an icecream maker quite often and the important thing is just to keep mixing it up every 45 mins or so to get rid of any crystals forming, otherwise it's much the same as using an icecream maker. Which reminds me... must go bash...Mortgage OP 2026 £350/2000Mortgage OP 2025 £7700/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

I think you just keep freezing it and beating it Natty. I made Xmas pud icecream quite sucessfully without one.

Amazing joy last night when LM gave me money for something he'd asked me to get in town yesterday (forgot I'd done that), I now have £12 and feel suddenly rich, may splash out on some mad frippery later...Mortgage OP 2026 £350/2000Mortgage OP 2025 £7700/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
