Hubby had a couple last night with his cappucinno ice cream...i had a little taste ..mmmmmm --hubby declared "ooh imagine different variations on the biccies with different ice creams":rotfl: ... so the next lot im going to swap the golden syrup for maple syrup for him to have with walnut ice cream :T

Just read that out loud to Mr Weezl. He would now like to apply for the role of Mr Macawber.;)

I said the job's taken, but he's looking for flights to germany now....:eek:

Halfway though my month and only spent £90. It would have been alot more but Asda messed up on the delivery and forgot loads of the treat stuff. Havent stuck to this weeks meal plan due to hot weather and not feeling like eating as much.

:rotfl: .... well tell him if he is coming....can he please bring me lots of nescafe, bread flour from liddle and some gammon joints please

That ice cream we get is stunning..not overly sweet.. and only €1.49 a litre and it is far better than hagandaz or ben n jerries :j i use to be an ice cream addict but since deciding to lose all this excess "wobble" i now just pinch 1tsp of hubby when he has some an im happy

just had another thought on the twinks :rotfl: replacing the syrup with the syrup from the jar of stem ginger in the cupboard :j ..must stop thinking about them - i was good and only had 1 when i made them yesterday

Another £3.61 to add in today. Wandered to Mr M's at lunchtime and got a salad from their salad bar (I know it's expensive and I'm ashamed!), some pears, and some crisps ( Mostly naughty stuff.

Felt a bit rotten today, forgot to take the chicken out the freezer so just pasta and sauce for tea tonight, then out in the garden to earth up the potatoes and poke the seedlings! Then pretended to be Bill Oddie and do Wildlife on One with a deer in the field and a woodpecker in one of the apple trees ) Nice way to finish the evening!

It's taken me 3 days to catch up with all the posts on this thread:

Searching_me - hope all is well
JennyBee - congratulations
Zend & Mrs Snowy - (((Hugs)))

A bit of excitement for me today - my runner beans are poking thru :j (I lead a very boring life!) - no sign of the peppers yet, but have now been and bought some carrots, parsnips and spinach seeds on the strength of this gardening success.

Have managed to have quite a few NSD's, living from freezer/storecupbaord in the last week, but I need to get my head round some menu planning and stock up again so my total spend will jump up in the next day or so.

nice to see lots of folk making the hobnobs, you know it makes sense
at about 40-50 from the recipe you know whats in them and you can add nuts etc to them

gunsandbanjos must be a good recipe if you have it too

Twink I cant thank you enough for your hobnob recipe my family loves them, and so do all my friends and neighbours

2 NSD for me which is just totally unheard of. I am dead pleased with myself.

Made a wholemeal loaf today, made the dough in BM with whoopsied wholemeal flour from Asda and then baked in the oven. It's lovely really light which is great because everytime I have tried to make wholemeal before it never turned out right.

we use value ones 12 for 1.12 there a bit smallerper roll but and don't block the toilet like the really thick stuff(kids) and less than 10p give em a go i think asda do a pack of 4 for 38p if you don't want to get stuck with em

Shaz

Thanks for the advice Shaz. I have tried them, But DH rebelled. He's quite happy to use any other value stuff, but refuses to use this. I'm not going to push it as been so supportive in all other areas.
