    It's really lovely to see your name here more often, little_sweetie, how about keeping it up? Is that a yes?!!! :D


    I definitely intend to try, dear friend :)


    I have discovered, however, that my smilies will not work! I can only get a simple smiley face if I type a colon and a bracket. Clicking on them will no longer work. What's going on?? Have I been banished??


    Sorry to hear about DD's family...there are a lot of bugs out there :(


    Saved a bit on the shopping today so a lovely 53p in the pot.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Afternoon all.

    NotNormal - welcome to both MSE and this thread - good luck with your savings.

    Sue - sorry you missed out on the "low calorie - if eaten slowly chocolate", but you are in luck.
    Believe it or not (not of course), but Lidl have another half-priced chocolate offer this weekend (sat and sun only) and it's the truffles for only 99p. These are supposed to enhance "hour-glass" figures - but you have to eat several boxes over the weekend. :whistle:
    Too late for myself to get that "hour-glass" figure for Valentines Day, but I'll try hard to get one for next Monday. :D

    Right, potting. Potted a single £2 coin (whoop whoop) and a single £1 coin. That's it for the day.

    Potted 22p roadkill today.

    Sue, DD is a lot better thank you. She's enjoying a week's holiday at home before starting work next week. Hope your family get better soon.

    A question: I have been given a 1st world war £2 coin in my change. Have they been circulated or has somebody spent it by mistake? If circulated it will go in my pot. If not I'll put it up for DGS. TIA.

    Welcome new potters. Enjoy saving.

    Hugs to all and any poorly families.

    P.S. my smilies aren't working either. (frown)

    scotmumof3 - my hubby makes a nice (he says) spiced parsnip soup and similar. He roasts the parsnips first as he says it brings out the sugars and gives a better taste. I don't like parsnips!!
    Luckily he also makes a nice carrot and coriander soup and a wicked minestrone. All done via the pressure cooker............... bless him.

    Lynsey
    I never thought of roasting them. They probably wouldn't make it into the soup if I did (they are so good ):D I will try that next time thank you :)
