I'd love to know what the fabric ends up being made into one day...get your friend to make you something nice!Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10875708145472914122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493748718507781603.post-92156122635975281452013-04-22T11:21:22.346+01:002013-04-22T11:21:22.346+01:00@Ang - thanks.

There is a super duper new one about 8 miles away...We are fairly restricted in the nearby town if you discount Tesco - we are left with a medium-sized Sainsbury, a Lidl, and two small Co-ops. It's going to take serious consideration to move away from Tesco shopping because we are becoming reliant on them, as I am sure that they intend! I feel a No-Tesco-for-a-month challenge coming on. We do have a market, although on a day I don't have a reason to go to town, and several good butchers' shops. There are other options, I know...Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10875708145472914122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493748718507781603.post-71509960637764777772013-04-22T11:15:18.859+01:002013-04-22T11:15:18.859+01:00Sainsburys 'basics' S&S is still aroun...Sainsburys 'basics' S&S is still around at 30p. <br />I make my own with whatever is to hand - usually starting with a spoonful of jam[or brown sugar], a spoonful of vinegar, a spoonful of ketchup and a spoonful of soy sauce, water and cornflour to thicken. I add chopped spring onion, pineapple chunks, few bits of diced peppers...<br />I get the feeling that Tesco are gradually upping the cost of all their everyday stuff [I try not to shop there!]<br /><br />blessings xx<br />Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493748718507781603.post-80564536908304123942013-04-22T09:41:31.821+01:002013-04-22T09:41:31.821+01:00Hi Morgan
I couldn't find an email address to ...Hi Morgan<br />I couldn't find an email address to send you a private note but just wanted to say thank you so much for the beautiful parcel I received from you today! And yes you are right it is Autumn here in Australia, but it feels like winter already! I really loved the items that you sent (I also read Silver Sewer as well so it was lovely to receive an item that came from her) and I love the fabric that you sent as well. I will have to organise my friend to put that to good use as I am fairly useless when it comes to making things! And thank you also for the magazine, I love home magazines but being frugal and thrifty I rarely buy them for myself these days! It was lovely, too, to receive a personal card from you. The whole parcel really just made my day :)<br />Thank you again<br />Judy xx (I used to sign on as judes07)Judy Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08143303275859311603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493748718507781603.post-60248978806576631212013-04-22T08:42:52.374+01:002013-04-22T08:42:52.374+01:00Wow, that's a bit of a sharp trick.

I guess they are all the same and will do anything to squeeze a few more pennies out of us as can be seen by the ingredients in the beef! <br />Well done you for being so savvy. I was only thinking of sweet and sour last nice as I have a few bits of pork to use up. I will also have a look for the SW recipe.<br /><br />FIB.
