We have a freezing cold kitchen - a suppose I'd you have a frost free outhouse with no damp it might be the same.
Not joking, no heaters on and no roof insulation!

I keep my spuds in the shed. Dry, dark and cold....they last for ages. First thing is to get them out of those plastic bags! that would make anything rot.

I keep veg for months by drying it out and storing it properly

If you have the time I cooked our half leg of lamb using this recipe this afternoon and it was lovely Interestingly others have commented that you can't tell it's lamb afterwards I added some rosemary and chopped garlic with the onions

Oh dear, had one of those evenings where I have thought 'sod it' whilst doing my Ts online shop

Decided that I've tried so hard with all the money saving lately that we deserve a few treats for Easter. Haven't gone completely crazy but shopping bill is currently at £60+ :eek: And if i'm honest our meal plan this week involves using a fair bit of freezer stock too

I guess we all have to have a little blow out every now and again and I know plenty of friends and family who'd easily spend this every week without a second thought. I'll just have to make sure I don't make a habit out of it

I've also had a minor blow out and ordered some dresses from tesco.com. Most wont fit and will have to go back but it was very satisfying pressing the submit button :T
I just realised how long away our next break is this morning and in the meantime the garden is so far behind ....
Sons plans for Easter scuppered by the snow
All very depressing

Im getting very :mad: at the weather spoiling my garden plans.....I've had to go and get more paraffin for the greenhouse when usually I can stop heating it by now. All we can hope for is a cracking summer

Hi guys

Not been on for awhile (lurked a little bit toward the end of the week) but got a proper trouting yesterday but on a positive note a potential DTD for you all.

The Chocablok £4 Easter Slabs (not the eggs) were reduced in my local one to £2. They scanned through at £4 however so I picked up 5 (3 kids plus me and missus). One of them went through at £2 which was the Valentines shape (not that I noticed).

Was trouted by a young girl so I said I would ring H/O and first call was take it back blah blah but second call and £16 DTD on a card coming my way.

Keep your eye's peeled for these and the Yellow SEL's



Note - its NOT the EGG but the flat large bar.

HTH

ps - If anyone can point me in the direction of the Mr T v Others list (pm me).

Artha don't leave me in suspenders about the mystery RSH PM I might not sleep :rotfl:

edit: I have found it. I missed it in my drunken/hangover haste. Thanks for offering but I am ok. I only use these to take the kids to Manchester in the hols ( cheaper than driving) and I have enough for this Easter hols

Thanks for thinking of me x

I think that's exactly it

I perhaps would have felt less inclined to do it if we'd have got away for our cheapo night away in a Travelodge last weekend but the sicky bug had other plans :cool:

Finally got some seeds planted on the windowsill so feel slightly better that garden may look half decent in a few months Keep looking for good deals on Thompson and Morgan to use my voucher on but nothing jumping out at me. One of them expires tomorrow so i'll have to make a decision soon

We usually have a little break or two planned so we have something to look forward to, but not really worth booking anything else at the moment until I know what's going on with my treatment. Will be the end of April at least before my next scan and then they'll have to decide what comes next. Have lots of things I'd like to do but all up the the air until we know what's going on.
