Ours doesn't if that makes you feel better. I got the 3 for 1 cheese too, about to grate and freeze it before the gannets spot it.'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -

Thanks hex2, i forgot to pop it on the grocery shopping; but i wasn't going to trek back to the shop just in case, in order to make crsipies - we will live without them. There is only me eats cheese here and i am doing SW, so the amount is limited. It'll probably last me til the sell by date :rotfl:!GC 2026 £1,615.80/1450.00

Small spend yesterday - £1.48 on six eggs and £1.70 on caster sugar. OH volunteered me to make a cake for his brother's birthday... don't mind but they're having a boy's poker and golf-watching night so I'm not actually invited to the party :rotfl:

Made calzones last night and on a healthy whim decided to sub some of the white flour for brown, worked out pretty well:

My tea was Thai curry and jasmine rice. Will definitely invest in better rice in future, makes all the difference[URL="http://s191.photobucket.com/user/Mflkn/media/Slimming World/20130413_184033_zpse224ae78.jpg.html]"][/URL]
