[Frozzie]

Yes i agree.. I sometimes avoid it as i see something i disnt know i needed lol but love the thread.. However was very proud of myself that i only bought a few items..😁

[mcmich]

Cookie, will be interested to see what you cook from your books. I have put several of my cookbooks on ebay and haven't bought a magazine in a week now since the 40 bags challenge. Getting withdrawal symptoms.

Very nice purchases Kim. Love the red handbag.

[Frozzie]

Sounds like fun Frozzie.

The 40 bags  challenge is where you donate, bin or sell 40 bags of excess stuff you have. You are probably doing this any way with the move.

[Frozzie]

Yes ould ven say we have succeeded 40 bags.. Even giving away dd's bedroom suite to a mum at school.. We could have easily sold it but i know she will appreciate it as she doesnt work nd her dh works for a chain resturant.. They have three kids...i hate selling things for next o nothing.. Much more pleasure out of giving them away!

Just ordered one of  these.

I am thinking it might be much less "fiddly" than the pie makers. 

[mcmich]

Yes they are a bit less fiddly Andie. I have a sandwhich maker that makes that shape.
When the children were young I would make "MacDonald's" apple pies in it.
