April 2008 Grocery Challenge

Bargain_Rzl

Keiss 21, have you tried ebay for a spare breadmaker pan?

As to my query last night about using up a big carton of single cream, I found this on the Channel 4 website:

Maple and lemon rice pudding

It sounds yummy, and interesting, and I have all the ingredients except the maple syrup, which I keep meaning to buy for the cupboard as it is. So, taking a chance on the cream still smelling fresh when I get home tonight, I'm hoping to pick up a bottle of maple syrup on my way home. Tesco have it for £1.99 (the cheapest proper stuff I can find) so allowing for needing more milk later in the week, I will still be able to hold my month's total down in double figures

Hi Y'all

Well I haven't been on for a few days as I still have so little time. What with the Associations Accounts ( still haven't got all the data yet for the year end) and on top of that someone is trying to steal my identity :eek: :mad:. Have been on the phone to various people including the police, who don't seem very interested as no crime has been committed YET!!. God knows what my phone bill is going to look like :mad:.Haven't even had time to update my spreadsheet with the latest receipts.

Enough of the moaning Frogmaster, just get on with it!!

Mrs M will update you with everything ASAP.

Love the FM

Assuming you`re using XP go to start/settings/control panel and look for the date & time option, under the time zone tab at the top check that the time is set to GMT.
Still in control panel go to the regional options settings and change everything to United Kingdom and apply it then ok, you will need to reboot but hopefully that should change it.

I daren't touch it. If I muck it up I will cause a huge row, both teens need it for their homework and OH uses it for his photography. I will show him this post and ask him to do it. Thanks for your help.
