Dont know about cut and paste but if you click on the post number it brings up the post on its own. I just print that and stick in a folder.

Oh dear, haven't done nearly so well this month and have 49p to last me till Monday:eek:

I have over-spent on cleaning stuff though for my spring clean (yes, i have followed all the advice re cleaning cheaply, but had to splash out on carpet cleaner and other stuff) and recently gave up smoking so bought things like Febreze etc.

This seems to have been a reeaalllyyy long month

Hi purplevamp...

The tortillas vary... when the dough is fresh made they seem to roll out smaller -mine usually end up about 7"...minus the bumps n lumps but i have just done 4 out of the freezer, and even though they are a little stickier to work with (nothing a bit of flour doesn't solve ) the roll much further.. i think my frying pan is about 9-10" and they fill it ... mind i am heavy handed and so thy go really nice n thin..

Just had our tortillas with the hm coleslaw and the southern chicken breast and they were really yummy.. hubby has put those on his list of "will eat as often as i want to make them" :rotfl: typical.. i don't usually buy things like the ready coated chicken..whoopsies strike again but have said that when we go to the golf course i will keep checking the Naffi for any more...
mind i breast cooked and sliced across to make 2 thinner fillets and then cut into strips has just fed us both.. and they were only €1 for 4 ... so about 20p to feed 2 ..heck that dinner must have cost a maximum of 50p each -and thats because of the salad :rotfl:

Thanks for that. I think I'll try freezing them first. I had one last week for work and my colleagues were very impressed that I made my own tortillas :T . I must admit that we did buy some ready made ones this week (they were bogof) but making your own is so much more satisfying and cheap. I use ecomony plain flour so they work out just a few pennies each.

I have to say that I am really impressed with your budget. I don't think I could ever get mine that small. And also well done on your fantastic weight loss. :j

I open a Word document then come on to MSE. When I see a post I highlight it - left mouse button dragged over the text I want - then right click and copy - then onto the word doc - right click and press paste and there it is. I probably havent explained it well but hope you get the jist.
