Hi candygirl

There is a thread on the O/S board called something like "Stardrops....a user guide" which everyone has put their uses for it on. (Sorry everyone, will try and find out how to post links, promise). Looks like everyone is a fan, so I thought I'd get some and give it a go.

My BF and Mum both have the microfibre cloths and swear by them for polishing, my Mum loves them as she doesn't use any polish, which is great for my asthma!

my staples are:- rice, pasta,spuds,lasagne sheets,ketchup,brown sauce,oxo,cornflour,bisto,salt n pepper, mixed herbs, mixed spices,yeast,/sr/plain and bread flour, oats for baking flapjacks,sultanas,icing sugar,tea coffee and sugar.
tinned stuff- baked beans, tomatoes,kidney beans, tinned carrots/sweetcorn etc,corned beef
fridge:- eggs,milk,bacon,cheese, cold meats, fresh veg
freezer:- chips (for when i cant be bothered to peel spuds)frozen veg, muffins and cakes (cooked in batches so i can take 1 out when i fancy)bread,milk (take out to defrost when needed...saves popping to shops and spending £20) a stack of homemade cheese n tom pizzas (i add more toppings when i cook)
dont go too mad or you will end up with lots of ingredients you wont use again, just plan week to week for now, im sure you will be fine...angchris xx

Just wanted to nip in and say thanks to everyone, always a bit nervous about jumping in somewhere new and asking a question, but you've all been really helpful! Will try and become a bit more of a contributor as I learn along the way!
