no, a balanced diet is a hobnob in each hand :rotfl:

I could have asked a really silly question "how long do they keep in a tupperware container" lol but somehow i think they wont even make it into it once out of the oven lol

twink

thanks to Sammy for mentioning my hobnobs

you can get nearly fifty from a batch so not too fattening also the porridge oats mean you can eat them and you wont get a sugar rush thats why they are good as a snack for my dgs who has diabetes

I agree with rosieben - a hobnob in each hand is good.:rotfl: :rotfl:

My little one loves twinks hobnobs too (your very welcome by the way twink! :T ) Plus they seem to keep him nice and full (like twink said) because of the oats. Ben normally has one on the way to school and it see's him through - hes only in for 2 and a bit hours but hes still a big lad (9lb 7ozs born!) so he needs an extra fill up now and then. Which reminds me i think i need to make more of them today.

Not impressed either ive just found a lump in my armpit. so am off to the doctor i think this morning. Im thinking its just a swollen gland or something but i hate unexplainable things and best to get any unexplained lumps checked. hmmmm................we'll see.

Good luck at the doctors Sammy. Youll be fine im sure

When cooking the hobnobs do you put them on baking paper or just on a baking tray?? Dont want them sticking lol or taking them off when cooked and omg half stuck to the tray lol (what a waste lol) xx

I found the hobnobs delicious, but a little sweet, so the next time I made them I reduced the sugar to 6oz. That was better for us. If you have a diabetic in the family, I supppose that might be a good thing to do.

Good luck at the doctors, you're very wise having it checked out sooner rather than later. Hopefully it's nothing serious.

I know i have a habit of doign that - its not intentional i just like small writing for some reason but i was actually nagged on another board i use as a lady with vision problems could never read what id written and was feeling left out - so fear not - lesson learned and i wont use small fonts again -

Sammy, you might want to teach her this tip because she might find it useful which ever internet site she is on
Tip: If you hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard and you roll the little wheel that's between the buttons on the mouse, it will enlarge (or reduce) the screen depending on whether you want to view the writing larger or smaller. Roll it forward to enlarge it and backward to reduce it.

Sammy just wanted to say Well done! :T Wish I had been so canny with the food budget when I was your age!
keeping my fingers crossed for you today.
Queenie that tip about enlarging the text is brilliant :j - thank you so much for that, I am another with deteriorating eye sight!

You do the same again, but in reverse.

Hi Sammy - WOW! Really inspired by your post and can't get over how much we are alike... I am 24 & like doing more homely things unlike my 21yr old sister who couldn't miss a weekend without clubbing.... I too have eczema and can't use most soaps, washes, etc and I stock up on all house products including loo roll! :rotfl: Also, love your taste in music - my chemical romance are fantastic. (Sorry if this has bored some people - slightly off topic!)

I do, however, wish I was more like you with my food shopping budget, homemade bread & baking, homemade soups, and I can't wait to have my first child! Good on you for only a £300 debt, as well! AMAZING!

I am using this website to sort out my debts, learn how to save money, budget, and do loads of home cooking and your post is a great inspiration. I can't wait to read your meal plan post!

Well done - you are amazing! xx
