Been so busy all week with work-had Mr S delivery on Monday but they forgot half my order-they didn't offer any compensation-shall I give them a call and see what they say? I said it was OK to get it delivered that evening (the stuff they forgot) but I had to miss Guides and am very cheesed off about it.

Mt T s did that to me too, they said they couldn't deliver the rest that week!! i insisted that i had paid delivery charge so that i didnt have to go into tescos, and i wanted my shopping that night! they sent the manager with it :rotfl:we do only live 1/2 a mile from the store which probably helped

used my ice-cream machine for the first time last night - banana ice-cream absolutely fantastic!! how did I manage without one. Used it again tonight to use up 2 grapefruits that came in the box, no-oneis that keen on them, grapefruit ice-cream, who'ld have thought that would work - It was lovely! My waistline is going to get soooooo huge!

I really need to defrost my freezer, plus we are stretching things out here for a bit, so I would like to use up what is in my freezer before forking out on more food.

Here is a list of stuff thats in my freezer at the moment. Bear in mind I need to feed about 6 people every day for meal ideas. If I am posting in the wrong thread please feel free to move this post.

I made an apple braid for the first time yesterday. I veganised it and it came out just fine. Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!:rotfl:

Mixed reactions from my brood though. DS and DD2 didn't want any (DD2 is getting as faddy as her brother :rolleyes:) DD1 hates raisins (they are toxic apparently) so she picked those out. Her friend was staying for tea - she doesn't like cooked apple so ended up eating just the bread part. DH enjoyed it - he said he liked the simplicity of it. Anyway there's none left. I had about 4 pieces and DH ate the other 4! I will definitely be doing this again, maybe making the dough as iced buns or something as well.

I was really disappointed that mine didn't rave over the apple braid. Will have to try a variant next time.

Evening all! What is this thread doing way back here?? :rotfl:

Okay I just wanted to share with you my OS find of the [STRIKE]week![/STRIKE] [STRIKE]month[/STRIKE] millenium! Okay maybe a t i n y exaggeration (sp?) I bought five teeny tiny tupperware square tubs in good old Wilco's for a similarly sized price...

I find that they (shared nicely of course) hold exactly one pint! So "Jelly Mountain" is getting depleted... gradually. Mr T's value jellies - they are so Valuey :rotfl: And I get DD2 off to school with a pack up the Jamie Oliver School Dinner Police can't find fault with.. oh, yes, they exist... be afraid, be very very afraid...

The apple braid is soo popular in our house now!


Apple ones for hubby and I ( and any visitors), I leave out the raisens though and have been brushing the top with egg yolk and a sprinkle of cinnamon before cooking - delish!

For the kids I do a nutella one or lots of small plain iced ones - they love them!
