    Rev up the slo-cooker, start looking out for a good deal on a car boot sale bread maker & bulk buy the white vinegar.....you're about to undergo a fantastic lifestyle change;):D

    I'm not around nearly as much as I'd like at the mo due to a newborn (who currently has both colic AND oral thrush:rolleyes:) but I'm still reading if not posting.

    Welcome :D

    Your life will never be the same again.

    You will ...

    eat better

    eat healther

    have people asking you for recipes because you've become such a good cook

    you'll have a wealth of information and always have an answer to that cleaning question

    you'll know to the penny how much a meal is costing you

    you'll know exactly how much is in your freezer and store cupboards

    you'll find you have more money in your purse

    and most importantly ...

    ... you'll know you'll always get an answer to your questions on OS :D
    Enjoying an MSE OS life :D

    Hi taplady. It's always nice to see a new face in Ol'Style. If you have always felt that the world is slightly out of step with the way you do things and have always taken a perverse delight in swimming upstream when the world and his dog are happy to go with the flow and find yourself going "tsk" and rolling ya eyes a lot, then pop ya slippers on, crack open a pack of gypsy creams and prepare to make lots and lots of new friends.;) :D
