    How big and thick are the chopping boards ? Are the big enough to make baking or pizza stones ?

  • not too exciting but still a bargain! got a couple of the pots of extra chewing gums (60 pieces) in Basildon store. I saw the exact same item in Asda on the same day going for £2.20 something.

    Poundland and home bargains sell green Fresh Bags, 20 for £1.
    They pay for themselves before youve even used a couple. Put your veg in and the veg stays fresh for over a week. Honestly they are truly amazing. Ideal for a single person or a small family who only used a small amount of veg per meal.
    My OH got 3 times the sprouts we needed for Christmas, I put them in one of these bags and they were just like new when i took them out for our New Years Day Dinner, I believe there is also meat and bread bags. Who ever invented them deserves a medal.

    These are great, I have some & use them for all my veg. Carrots last for ever!

    Today I picked up a bottle of Lemsip Max all in one liquid this is currently £5.98 on Boot's website:eek: the use by date is July so should get us through the cold/flu season.

    I bought some and it had the cup on and it was so vile after one sip I chucked the rest down the sink and had a chocolate to take the taste away.

    Yours
