  • Purple kitten, I pour baileys over chocolate icecream in a tall glass... It's the best ever :)
    We spend money we don't have, on things that we don't need, to impress people we don't like. I don't and I'm happy!

    I use up our over ripe bananas, add a little "Nesquik" and some banana liquer we brought back from Tenerife for an extra kick. Mmmmmmm

    What does every one use to make their milkshakes? do you use a table top blender? or will a hand blender do the job?

    thanks

    Thanks everyone for their suggestions, I like the idea of the adults milkshakes, I will definitely be trying the ones with baileys as I drink that occasionally at bedtime in hot milk.

    I use a hand blender to make ours at home, really quick n easy and saves me a fortune.

    Rum and Banana. Has to be the dark rum though, rather than Bacardi type
    Not heavily in debt, but still trying to sort things out.
    Baby due July 2018.

    When you put fruit in do you just chop it up a bit and then whizz it with icecream and milk? And the chocolate ones - do you just whizz chocolate with icecream and milk?
