Thanks

Click on the User CP link at the top of the forum. Choose 'edit signature' and type what you want into the white box. If you want colours and things you need to know the HTML tags. For example, a [*color=pink]Type[*/color] tab will give you a type in pink - between the tags. Take out the *s, they were put in so that the tags didn't disappear!

Oops! I forgot what I was supposed to be posting! £32.15 for a months worth of catfood today.

Evening all,
March started today for me & a spend of £8.16 in A$da to report. Some YS cooked meat with a couple of days still left on it, some store cupboard tins, salt & lots of Chocolate! One of those days where I need Chocolate (read that as "if I don't get Chocolate now.. I'll tear someone's head off") Probably don't need as much Choc as I bought... But always good to have some on standby... Lol.

Off to update sig, have a great evening everyone

That sounds really sensible actually. I take a flask to work and it can stay hot for hours. Sounds like less messing than having to warm a bottle up and it keeps sterilefor that bit longer.

It was just that I had never seen anyone making a baby's feed on a bus before.

Managed to cut the chicken up and have the backbone in a pot making stock

Well done on cutting up a chicken. I could try to explain but you cant beat watching someone do it,

My Nan taught me 50 years ago when I got married and I always do my own, the only time I buy breast is if its reduced.
