    £3.10 for the pot today so feel as if I am getting the saving mojo back . I've been having a bit of a spend recently but am glad to report that it is much more satisfying to hear the noise the coins make as they go into that tin.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    Oh I got all excited there and thought you said KITCHEN MAID - something I would love to have in the cupboard - she could get on with it all while I'm off gallivanting :rotfl: anyways what is a kitchen aid ????
    Lx

    :rotfl: no point me getting a kitchen maid as I'd be following her round the kitchen to make sure everything was cooked and cleaned my way and to my standard, plus I don't think she would be overly impressed with my consistent, manic 'have you washed your hands??' After she did anything :o

    A artisan kitchen aid is an all singing all dancing mixer which you can buy attachments for to make pasta, ravioli, mince and all sorts of other exciting things :Dhttp://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/KitchenAid+Artisan+Stand+Mixer+Boysenberry+5KSM150PSBBY/192417024,default,pd.html cost me (cough) £386 (cough) but ooooo I've wanted one for years!!
