    Guess who I bumped into in A tonight?:rotfl:

    Me :)

    I was particularly happy with my salad and coleslaw. Just eaten them with enchiladas for tea. :D:D

    We missed the bread. People behind me had loads for 10p.

    I did my COS porridge in A and it confirmed before I got out of the carpark.

    Awful trouble getting a decent photo for COS tonight. I must have taken a dozen for one receipt and keep getting the little Red Cross. The receipt is flat, plenty light and no shadows.

    Hope juju is on earlies in the morning I might have to message her:o:)

    DOH !!! :wall::wall: :D :rotfl:

    You're supposed to get the X.....that's so you can delete it :rotfl:

    I dont mind if its something i will use :D
    I want to try overnight oats, got the oats, got the yoghurt, got the fruit just not the motivation to try them:rotfl::rotfl:

    They are good. Even better are the baked oats. Fiddled a bit with them in the oven but it took about 40-50 minutes which is too long for me. Got one of the Lidl waffle makers and they are excellent for them, 40gms oats, an egg and half a mullers all mixed together, I put a punch of cinnamon in. Waffle maker on number two, spray fry light and put the mixture in, cook for about six minutes. Eat with chopped fruit and the rest of the mullers.Try it. x

    I’m making this tomorrow with my blood oranges. Looks a bit of a faff until you pick through it. I’m assuming almond meal is ground almonds and I have plenty of that to use up

    I’m now secretly relieved I didn’t get any as I haven’t got time to go before the end of the month. Although I’m sure I could have recycled them:whistle::whistle:
