Sorry to anyone that likes it!
I literally weigh my oats out put in a jug with water and leave in the fridge overnight then cook as normal. They are 'creamier' than just made with water without soaking

That’s what I’m after, do the oats get bigger than If you just do it in the microwave? I’m going to try anything to eak our this budget!0 -
Hmmm 88p for sultanas......0

Sorry yeah I buy the value/smartprice sultanas from in the baking aisle. Sometimes homebargains has raisins in at a similar price. Mine eat either though.
I'm not sure about bigger they have 'soaked' so are obviously soaked up some of the water. It does make mine enjoy them more though.“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -

Going to try that. If I wasn’t already in bed I would go and do it now, but I’m not feeling the best and can really do with having an early night. Especially as I’m sure Roo will be up puking at some point!0 -
Fudge it. I need to find room in the budget for peanut butter too!!!
Ok have updated shopping list! Hoping it’s doable still!0 -
Ok eBay stuff went for £53 so aside from the £26 I need to make ends meet I’ve made another £27. So out of my £242 to find total, I now have ££215 to find. So not bad, am still trying to sleep.0

Hope the day improves for you Missy.
Don't let a bad day scupper your long term plans. There's always a temptation to say "fudge it" and splurge. Resist!!0 -
Hope the day improves and Roo is better soon x"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0
