Yes - just like bungees except that it hooks onto itself, which is rather clever. Like this...

What bike do I have? Probably easier to ask what bike I don't have as my wife thinks I have too many (no such thing IMHO!) The main bike I use for Costco is a BMW R1150GS because it is fitted with large aluminium panniers. I also have a BMW R1200RT as my day-to-day ride, Triumph Rocket III for posing, BSA Gold Star for posing on very sunny days, Suzuki Burgman, Royal Enfield Bullet, Yamaha Serrow and a couple of others that aren't roadworthy but will be one day if my wife and her eBay account don't get to them first!

The Rocket III is my dream bike! I'm too short for it, though. :cool:
My husband used to have a Bandit & loved it. Until some b*%%er nicked it, that is. :mad:

Made some brownies using the Ghirardelli brownie mix and they are heavenly!!! :A The box is quite big & makes 4 batches. Each batch makes 16 brownies (if you like them bite size, that is...) and you only need to add an egg, water and vegetable oil. I think for under £6 a box, it's a bargain. Yummy!

Hiya.. i'm wondering if anyone can help with my cost-co question! We used to buy cardboard boxes full of foil sheets, I believe they were Kirkland branded. I can't find them anymore, been trying for the last month. My store is Milton Keynes, has anyone seen them in their stores at all?

Thanks

Well did my (regular) visit to Costco today.

On test they had something called "port Salut" cheese. It was really yummy. It's thin cheese, that when you start to eat it, becomes really creamy.

For those who like softer cheeses, definitely worth having a look at.

I have recently joined Cost-co, use it to stock up on pods for my coffee machine, £5.25 for 2 boxes rather than £3.28 each in the supermarket. Been really impressed with everything I have tried so far. Caramalised onion sausages are delish & for less than £5 for 18 very good value, freeze them into 3 portions for me & my boyf. The peri oeri ones are also very nice! Tried the ciabatta yeaterday, the long-life part baked ones. 4 packs each containing 2 half size loves, £1.80 & was gorgeous!! Could look round the shop for ages, such a mix of stuff just wish I had a bigger freezer!!

£55 and you think you spent way too much? My family did £300 when we went a couple of days ago

Just had a packet of the Reese ones with a coffee, so yummy!

I know £55 is not that bad, but I was only going in for the peanut butter and contact lens solution lol.
