    well its the start of a new week for me :rolleyes: i've still got loads in the freezer so i'm hoping i'll only need a few bits....famous last words eh!

    weather's lousy here...really foggy and damp, so i'm not going to get much washing dry, or be able to get into the garden to sort my veggy plot out :mad:

    hope everyone has a good day xx

    Hi-I missed the post about using soya flour instead of eggs-can you tell me what it was please?

    Hiya,

    click here for a thread on baking cakes without eggs. As the egg is a very pricy component of a cake, it's a useful read!

  • Just a quick update, it has taken me soooo long to catch up on reading all of your posts I haven't been able to post any replies. I have now spent £148.72 out of my budget of £150- and still got 12 days until we go away. But, I have got all our evening meals planned until the end of the month, and enough food in for breakfasts and lunches. Stocked up on fruit yesterday and milk, so that should last until the end of this week. So hopefully I may come in just within budget this month.
    Hope all goes well for you, searching me.

    Morning!

    Fingers crossed for you searching - hope it all goes well x

    denise - I would freeze cheese spread and pickle, I've never tried it but if you just experiment with one first I'm sure you'll find it will be fine :D

    I'm hoping for a NSD today!

    thanks for the link weezl will be making some of those later...

    NSD for metoday, got to go to docs to discuss my medication again:rolleyes:

    Made a huge corn beef and pot pie last night enought for lunch today but DS ate the last lot late last night and OH is now not best pleased as he was looking forward to it:rolleyes:

    I am beginning to feel I can keep well within budget, only prob is lots of NSD have to be done to achieve it, well something has to give and I have to be more inventive with the stuff I have already got it:D

    thanks angel will try the pastry again, I have so tried but it always ends up rubbish:rotfl: if not I will get the cheaper one you said.

    Just updated my total and the rest of the month is going to be very tight! I do have quite alot in though. I returned my stupidly expensive kitchen roll (who buys that stuff:confused: ) and got the ones on offer:D Really have to pay more attention in supermarkets:rolleyes:
