    Good morning all!
    Does anyone actually like that Serano ham?
    I really liked the look of it, so was delighted when they had tasters on offer last year, I was so disappointed, it tasted like salt, and had the texture of old boots!
    My unsophisticated pallete maybe, but just thought i would share. x

    I don't like it - but then I can't stand the texture of smoked salmon either.

    The tree is fine and DH is really upset over what he has done. Off to garage this morning to see what they say - main concern at the moment is if the car is OK to drive. We are flying from Heathrow in a couple of weeks and if the car is off the road we are completely stuffed. This is not a good start to 2018.

    Bless isn't quite the word I was thinking of ! Anyway, car is in for repair- they reckon they can get get a bumper delivered by Monday and we can have the car back on Tuesday afternoon. So the trip to Heathrow will be OK. Luckily they had a courtesy car I could have. Cost is £750 or thereabouts - which is good news for DH as he thought it would be at least £1500.

    I have let him out of the doghouse.

    Those one4all giftcards at Viking now have a surcharge on them - it costs £104 for a £100 card :eek:

    I didn't want any, I just went for a play with their NY special offer. :)
