Thanks Dizzy and TTFTM - I love hitting milestones, it gives such a boost!
PADing is the way forward, I honestly don't think I'd have made half as much of a dent unless I'd been pointed in this direction (thanks Bobarella!)
£4.78 to MBNA for me please
slightly miscalculated payday, thought it was tomorrow but it's actually Thursday :eek: luckily our house account still has funds so I'm going to get food for batch cooking tonight

Seriously your words are 'compatible' and 'reusable' - sometimes making reusable pods is more hassle than it's worth but most pods can be reused. It depends on your priorities

This so true. If you are struggling we are sooo here for you....even if all you can do is say 'I'm having a hard time with this right now!'. and you don't pad....Padding is good but it's not the meaning of life (that's espressos and crochet :rotfl:)....seriously - don't get down - get even!!!! Even if it means throwing 10 1p pieces across the room (neither MSE nor Erme will be held responsible if you do this and break a load of stuff LOL)kirtsypoos wrote: »Thanks Dizzy and TTFTM - I love hitting milestones, it gives such a boost!

I just have chick peas cooling down from the microwave pressure cooker. I love things microwave - like a few years ago all the rage was microwave pizza trays - brilliant idea! The other month it was microwave pressure cookers - again brilliant idea - get these for your teens now for uni LOL:dance:
I believe in the power of PAD
