I don't think the Air Wicks will work - I've put them onto the (normal) list - as ones at £6 might be good if they are cheaper instore and if they work vs M at £3.49 (I don't think so though). As for the other newly-added one (the "Crystal Air"), showing online at £3.98 and any 2 for £4, problem is I have only a limited range in only one of my M stores - and today they were completely sold out of one of the three versions they stocked. From the empty cardboard left I could not work out which version it was. I saw only physical evidence of Brecon Beacons and New Forest[Strike]- I do not see New Forest on msm for A - is that really available in A and therefore could New Forest be a trigger in A to the 2 for £4?[/Strike] Brecons Beacons and New Forest, possibly, to compare vs £1.99. (But versions vary in M stores - the missing one in my M may have been Yorkshire Dales, but there was no way for me to know.)
EDIT: :(I found New Forest, signed out on msm. So - that is now also going onto the M list on the basis that I found it in my M store. I think I'd better clarify and also this will help me be concise (as if...:rotfl:) in future... when I say "M list" I mean the normal price collection list, and when I say "points list" I mean the new points list. I think I'll refer to them like this in future, so now you know what I mean. Although the points list, supposedly, is just for this week - a few are expiring on 2/11, some run longer (e.g. 30/11), the odd one (e.g. Muscle Oven Cleaner) supposedly until beginning of next year (I think). Frown in a way about the points list just being this week, as a 'one off', as I very much doubt I will be able to do it again, although in another way :rotfl: as I'm sure you understand why I quite likely won't be able to do this very often, if at all again.0 -

how long approx.does unopened champagne keep
Non vintage 2 to three years, vintage 5 to 15 years. Approximately.
happy with that my 2002 should be ok for a few years yet as kept in dark room and dark box. So around 2017 I might start to worry.
So why can you by various vintages that are older is it just for the label but not for drinking?
Maybe I will have to start collecting Whiskey instead. I like the idea of building up a good wine collection but judging by the article nothing is really worth keeping.
Last Xmas we drank some old champagnes but they were all £100 plus bottles and vintage and all tasted good. Dd had a vast collection from the champaynes she sometimes got from work and a few from her wedding she kept to wt babies head.

i also think shopitize is the best one of all of the cashback sites, i havent had much trouble with them, unlike msl who never seem to pay out
what happened to the Reps that used to post occasionally? :wave: if you are lurking :rotfl:It`s nice to be important, but its more important to be nice.

There's a couple of recipes online but I don't know how reliable they are. they're a kind of a big flat soft ginger nut style cookie, rather than like a bun or cake. You smear butter or spread on them about five seconds before your arteries fill up with cookeen and they have to bury you.

It's all to do with the grapes and the way they are processed. If you buy a vintage it's not been in the bottle since 2011/12 it's been maturing since then before it was bottled.
I Drank my 1969 vintage that my dad bought on my birth on my 40th birthday and it was lovely......no-one died! But a bottle he bought for DS2 birth in 1995 was undrinkable!!! and you never know until you open them.
I still have bottles in the safe that Dad bought for DD and DS2 milestones, and who knows what they will be like

Frozen
Tesco Simply Cook Minced Lamb (500g)£2.75 £2.75
Birds Eye Southern Fried Chicken (4 per pack - 360g)£1.62:( £1.62
Birds Eye Light & Crunchy Breaded Chicken (4 per pack - 360g)£3.25 £1.62
:(T down in price on the Southern Fried one, considered (by me) to be the safer one. M now £1.62 on Light & Crunchy Breaded - but beware, no product in my M store and no SEL, nothing in the 'usual run' of the aisle, just going by what the offer signs elsewhere show and will T pick it up?(:(:rotfl:)
Anyway - Sains. Basics were cheaper than these branded things. Then, Sains Basics price went up (£1.15 to £1.20 - still cheaper and apparently for 380g, but I don't like Sains. anyway these days:rotfl:).0 -
That's, surely, it - so goodnight folks!:):wave: I'll tinker with the weight on the Golden Oat version of the Kellogg's Elevenses Breakfast Bakes on the points list - they are 6x50g according to the actual packs although the offer labels say 6x45g. So, msm appears to be right, whoopie!:j:j:rotfl: Apropos of nothing though, as no favourable prices elsewhere (I'd be looking to at least half price - i.e. £1.24) so a few pence points off current M price of £2.49 doesn't impress me!
Goodbye now!:rotfl::wave::wave:0
