    Have you tried http://www.thriftylesley.com/? Her site has recipes, meal plans, breakdowns of nutrition information etc.

    Skint Dad also has some recipes and useful tips: http://skintdad.co.uk/recipes/

    Ilona I managed to find the final online . I had seen Ilonas summerhouse earlier in the series . That has to be the most eco friendly , quirky and almost no cost design of all the series so far . I think mse should give you a special badge in recognition . Well done and enjoy your time in your special retreat .

    Amy Jay I have just remembered over the years there have been a number of threads started on the same subject . I think it was either Zippy or dear much missed Pink who used to combine them into one thread . I still follow some of the blogs on there although others are no longer active . I have just realised Sqeakys os index doesn't seem to be a sticky on the 1st page of os but if anyone can point you in the right direction you can find it there .

    I knew about bloggers being paid for adverts Ilona - but I hadnt realised it was so little - £90 a month!

    Not worth it for that imo.

    Best to keep your integrity - as you do.

    I make £1500+ from my blog every month before tax... Does that change your opinion?

    I don't blog to make money, for me it's like an online diary, mainly food and waffle ;)

    Like anything in life, it's each to their own, millions of blogs, so bound to be something to suit all tastes :)
    Note to self - STOP SPENDING MONEY !!
