Pasta
Noodles (those dried super noodles)

Macaroni (well pasta) cheese leaps out at me or jacket spud with cheesy beans.....nom nom nom

Macaroni is a great idea but last time I tried to make it my sauce wasn't very nice. BUT you've just reminded me I have some packets of cheese sauce mix so that's the kids sorted.
Might go with jacket spuds with cheesy beans for me and DH though, sounds yummy!
Thanx for the ideas :beer:

Thanks muchly too Elsie for the radox tip! Obviously I made a bit of a boo boo on the minnie mouse Easter egg, but I do know a little girl who's going to look adorable with that bow on her head, so I don't mind :-)

my viking gift cards came this morning, I haven't checked my nectar points yet. Still no caesar tcb though.

Hope all are well, and everyone is doing what they have to do to get through the day.

Afternoon everyone

Got another free milk in t's today. I made sure i got £5 of other items so the voucher would go through the ss till without needing authorisation. stocked up on the 40p and 25p shower creme that was mentioned yesterday. Found a's receipt in t's carpark and got £2 apg.

then to a's for £3 reduced wine (only got 3 - how good am i ) which was quite nice and wombled £2.50 apg receipt and flowers receipt for tcb and crisps receipt for quidco. Good day wombling for me Might have to take dd out later and see if she can beat me.

Still resisting the eggs.

Hope everyone is having a good day x
