Where you can find discount codes for Tesco shopping being used together to give savings of up to 17.50!! Definitely a mistake but one you can grab if you're quick!

Also, offer deductions are made at the till, not online. SO if your code is i.e 10 off 50 and you buy 50 pounds of BOGOF it will accept the code and then take off all your BOGOFS at checkout so your shopping would equal:

50 BOGOF deals
-10.00 code
-25 for BOGOF
= 15.00 + del charge.

GO GET SOME!!

:hello: Hi all
Having a days rest has surprisingly given me heaps of energy, just hope it lasts!

I'm going to spend today working out how to make dividers for my folder. I'm thinking the recipes should be laminated so they're wipe clean, but this means normal dividers will be too small. LIGHTBULB MOMENT!!!! I can press some shapes out & stick them onto the edge of card so they stick out more than the mormal ones, moving each one down per page so they work as proper dividers

Also shall be typing out recipes. May write some of the smaller ones out. I've stopped doing the cover for it at the moment as the wording doesnt look right when printed out, or handwritten so shall wait till next friday & see if I can see some at the NEC.

WOW, you've been busy Mum2one, whats australian crunch? Think my LO's a tad confused about cooking, he's just tried to roll out a banana muffin - I'm sure my cooking isnt that bad, hope it isnt anyway, lol. Thanks for the click list I've copied it into a file & shall go get clicking in a bit.

I like the range Orchid, its about the only place within walking distance to me that sells a good range of crafting products.

Shelley, Harri looks like he's having great fun, no wonder he doesnt want to get off.

Hi - the Australian crunch has now gone - doodle to make

225g / 8oz marg or butter
150g / 5oz sugar
75g / 3oz desiccated coconut
75g / 3oz crushed cornflakes
1 x tablespoon ( 3 teaspoons) drinking chocolate or cocoa powder
150g / 5oz self raising flour
100g / 4oz milk chocolate ( I use Tesco value does the job)

1. heat oven to 180c / gas 4
2. grease a swiss roll tin (i use a baking sheet)
3. melt the marg/butter (i use microwave) or over low heat in saucepan
4. put the melted butter in bowl, add sugar, coconut, cocoa or drinking choc mix, flour, crushed cornflakes
5. flatten into tin, bake for about 20 mins, (should have a bit of a springy feel
6. When cold cover with the melted chocolate
7. Chop makes about 20 pieces

Please be careful if using this as I know at least 1 people who have had their order cancelled the morning it is supposed to be delivered.
Just a quick heads up. If it works for you then great!

hi
Hope u dont think I'm being cheeky, just a thought re ebay (actually cant take the credit - was on one of those tv selling programmes), if your going for a 10 day listing, list on a Thursday, (ideallly afternoon, early evening) so that it ends on a Sunday - the theory is people are more liable to log on, on a sunday afternoon and u also get the last minute bidders.

Thats a good time plan, hope it works out for you. xx

Oh thank god, I thought you were one of those strange people that love ironing! :rotfl: (no offence to any strange people that love ironing )

I hate ironing - made worse by working in a dry cleaners for 2 years - esp when people would bring in 20 mens shirts to be laundered and ironed.

Thou upside - so funny when there was special offers, what people would drag out of their wardrobe - remember one suit had a ticket from the 1970s in it.
Another customer - this couple came in together, I would say they were in their 50s, very posh, the wife dragged a pile of clothes and wanted her husbands jacket to make the lot up, he iff and ared, she would had none of it - that jck was going in - he took it off, a few things out of the pocket, course we had to check all pockets when the customer was bringing the clothes in, incase they'd left money, or pockets ripped etc, went in his pocket and pulled out a "packet of 3 - which had been opened" - his face said it all, she dragged him out shouting and screaming, they were last seen being escorted off the premises by the security guard - they never came back for their clothes!! xx
