Ohhhhhh the chocolate and cranberry biscotti looks gorgeous!

Do you reckon you could freeze it before the second baking and bake as you needed it?

I'm guessing that they've never really given any thought to spending and now that it's creeping up - what seems weekly - they probably don't have a clue where to even start. Hence a perfect family to have a Martin visit . . . don't you think? :T

hiya,

i couldnt have put it better myself, i think if they did get some help and were shown how much they could save they would be amazed.

1, dump the veg box.. it is cheaper from the local shop. The good Lord gave us legs for a reason!!
2, value wash powder becuase it only lacks the perfume the more expensive ones have.
3, don't stop having your nails done.. it is half an hour a week peace and quiet without the children.. if I can justify it with my brood she, with half the number of children I have can too!
4, drop a brand.. and stop buying fizzy carp to send the children wappy. tap water is free and better for you.. drink that!
5, mine have ham and cheese sarnies too.. value cheese .. let's face it.. cheese is cheese.. and value ham..
6, get a breadmaker.. I worship mine twice a day.. if we sit down and have a sandwich each that is 2 loaves!!
7, become naturists and don't wear clothes in the house.. it saves laundry!

I'd want to tell her to stop being so dependant and stand on her own two feet and learn herself, how to budget properly and how to provide the best for her family with the limited finances they have.. on the rigs he won't be on a bad thing!!..
