I must be mad. I've only just tried Mrs M's Tortillas in spite of all the previously posted accolades.

OH was the first to 'construct' his cheese, ham and salad tortilla (during the adverts) and yelled 'Wow! this is lovely' from the front room where he was watching the Grand Prix.

This is how good they are - he didn't wait for the next adverts to come out to the kitchen to make his next one - he actually missed some of the GP - unheard of...

So, Mrs M - thank you for yet another resounding success in the Monkey Household.

Thanks nopot2pin

I have been slowly reducing my grocery budget over the last few weeks but still fall off the wagon occasionally:o. As I am starting the challenge late, I will put down a weekly budget of £55 - I know it's an odd number but don;t want to go as high as £60 and not sure that I can get it down to £50 each week (not yet anyway). Will be starting the challenge tomorrow. Did a big shop a couple of weeks ago so using up all the odds and ends this week. Is it possible to live on soup????

blimey this thread moves fast! i've got a good few pages to read now! lol.
just been to mr t and stuck to my shopping list....apart from two packs of cadbury caramel snaps which fell into my basket.....
anyway i came on to ask if anyone has any ideas what i can do with a load of frozen fruit? i've got two farmfoods mixed berry, one tesco berry smoothie mix and one tesco tropical smoothie mix. HELP! i'm sick of them taking up the freezer now.

ok so I did a big shop on friday and spent £120 and thought all I had to get on sunday was the kids pack lunch things, so anyway got the OH to take me to Mr T's should of only cost me a few pounds but oh no OH has to put this in and can we have that like a big kid, so it cost me another £23 so in future he can wait in the car like a naught child :rolleyes: thats if I take him again. All in all though his family have decended on us this weekend so I am surprised I've not spent more.

Make a crumble
Put some on yogurt or porridge
Make an ice cream sundae, bit of squirty cream, chopped nuts and choc sauce
Smoothies (is that one really too obvious?!)
