I signed up for this as well and then didn't get vouchers. Had a devil of a job cancelling and in the end contacted them via one of those 'speak to someone online'. They cancelled my payments but said they couldn't sort my vouchers boo-hoo so well done getting them

Lx

in terms and conditions it said have it open for at least 7 days to get the vouchers.

when i contacted to cancel it was also via online chat, and when i spoke to them the other day it was the same, i didnt actually say ide cancelled but i assume they can see that happy i have my vouchers though! will update if they send me any more lol

plan on taking enough money on school run for washing up liquid and thats it

my first delivery from sainsbobs arrives tonight, lets hope they are better than mr a!

physicsgirl- Your meal plan sounds yummy! How do you make calzone pizza? Do you just top the pizza and fold it in half and bake? I like calzone and I like to make my own pizza but have never thought to try it at home!

PennyGrabber I feel for you! Sounds a bit like my old job but I didn't have a family to look after. Take care of yourself!

Make-it-3 I am far from being a bread baking expert! As far as I know self-raising flower is simply plain flour with baking powder added. If you substitute wholemeal flour for normal flour it can sometimes be a bit dry as the wholemeal soaks up more of the moisture I find. In that case I normally just add a bit extra liquid until it "feels right". Plain flour and bread flour are also a bit different in terms of gluten content. Bread flour has more gluten to make it "bind" better. I would say in your case, as you are making bread anyway it shouldn't be much of an issue. If you are unsure I would maybe put half self-raising and half wholemeal bread flour and see if it turns out okay and if it does you can then do all wholemeal the next time.

Rubbish weather is persisting here so I will get out the slow cooker today and make a nice vegetable based soup. I went to the dentist yesterday and had a root-canal treatment and now my jaw hurts so no chewing is a good thing at the moment! Still, better than having a tooth ache, which is even worse than jaw pain.

Have a good day, hope somebody out there has some sun!

Had another day NSD yesterday - however did have to had a small spend at the local greengrocers - needed few things including mushrooms for my omelette for my brunch today so reporting in at a £4.62.


Still trying to resist a visit to Asd* till the weekend, and looking at my freezer and cupboards don't really need a lot - will make a list and stick to it..... off to get ready for work bye all xx

NSD yesterday for me, so far so good this week. A few variations to the meal plan but nothing major.

Can anyone get the online leaflets for this week and next to work on the lidl website?it just keeps telling me it needs to reload, is it just my computer?
Had a spend of 20.69 in asda on Tuesday but bulk bought cat food (bags of whiskas 3 for £10) so don't need catgood for quite a while now!

Works fine for me after selecting a store. The one I was 'connected to' closed down with no warning that I saw last September, so I no longer have one I consider local

trina2010

Hmm, I'll have to try deselecting the store and see if that works.
Thanks

Hi everyone,

Budgets updated to here

Welcome/welcome back to:
SazzleDazzle1, xshootingstarsx, physicsgirl, strandedinaber and philsmum

Spends this week have been very low - £1.38 in Sainsbury on lettuce and cucumber, and £3 in Tesco on milk.

Tonight we are having sausages, mash and broccoli. I will have quorn sausages, broccoli and a very small amount of mash as I'm trying to shift a few pounds

MrsCautious - so pleased to hear that your health issues are not as serious. Best wishes to you and your girls xx

Sig updated.
