Thanks Mark8. I didn't get the grater. Grater was for potato rosti. I'll be roasting the cauliflower. Although now you mention cauliflower cheese...:)I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour

Roasted cauliflower is our find of the year. My OH does it for the vegans with a sprinkle of chilli and/or garlic salt - fabulous

I am going to try one of those sonic thingies but I imagine they will just hold a party and dance to the sonic sound...
Sorry about the wasteful day... These things happen and you've bounced back which is what's importantVeg box sounds like a great idea!
I bought some gloves recently... Just cheapos from the corner shop. £2 and they keep my hands toasty enough, am sure they won't last for years or anything, but worth it for where I am money-wise at the moment. If you get too nippy it may be an option
Roasted cauliflower sounds yum :cool:Total Debt : ?? / ??0 -

I couldn’t walk due to icy rain so I drove to the shops. It was good I drove in a way as the fine put me off driving so it was good to get back in the car before it turned into a confidence thing.:o
So all that not getting any shopping went out the window.
I seemed to arrive at the right time in Mr.S as nabbed some organic chicken pieces reduced from £4.20 to £1.05 so froze those for future. Other bargains too so the freezer is stocked up now.:)
I didn’t make the fishcakes but I will be making a chicken curry tomorrow
I still don't have the bleeping grater.
I didn’t achieve much today, just washing up and cleaning and washing clothes. I really wanted to do a walk but it was just too awful out.
I’m trying hard not to buy anything as the sales will begin soon but I did buy some thermal socks for £6 today as I don’t have the heating on during the day
I hope you have had a good dayIf you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

My mum used to do that when I was at primary school :rotfl: I must have lost a lot of gloves :rotfl:.
This is why I like fingerless gloves because I just keep them on, unless I'm in a really hot place, and then I'm less likely to lose them.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally
