Think we might make banana bread today as we have some bananas that are going black so will use those up
Another great tip for bananas is:
Take the skin off, wrap them in cling film and freeze. Then they can be blended when you want to use them as banana ice cream. Makes a healthy snack for the kids and zero waste (plus less effort than baking!) They keep ok in the freezer for quite a while too!0 -

Well, got our holiday booked. The owners of the site emailed me after i enquired and said all the kids can go free (under 3s are free but would have had to pay for the eldest) so thats a saving. Now i have something to look forward to in 4 weeks
We were going to stay away for a week but just doing 3 nights now so we can laminate our hallway too. Seems much more sensible.
Happy happy! Anyone know if its free listings on Ebay this weekend?
