    Hubby wants roast beef on Sunday! Anybody know if anywhere has any offers?
    You could be cheeky and tell him that they do a lovely roast dinner at your nearest Wethersp**ns on the Sunday Roast Club special - he could make it your Easter pressie :rotfl:

    Nsd planned today. May walk children to ffoods to buy a nice cream (pack of four, all have to have the same!!), but that would be from my pocket money, and would save a fortune compared with buying them out. I love cheating the system!!

    Doing a picnic for lunch, with bits from freezer, sandwiches, lo pizza from yest dinner, crisps, etc. dinner is tith. I use a smart price mix, as you only need one egg for that. Does anyone have a recipe that only uses one egg? Least I can find is three! I'm not using three eggs!!

    Have a gd day all, enjoy the sunshine!

    The reason for 3 eggs in batter is so that it rises better. It might be worth trying self raising flour rather than plain - you may get away with just 1 egg then.
