    Wow BB clearly I never buy wine but £3.29 - is it even drinkable??

    The last bottle I bought was £8 (but it did fizz ;))

    You can get fizzy stuff for much cheaper than that.

    Stops things icing up even better than the expensive stuff...

    it isn't bad........but the ice in it helps mask any taste really, it's just 'cold' :rotfl: I could probably have got a 2.99 bottle if I'd gone a bit further up the road to Asda, or a bottle of Sarsons for 50p :D

    I hate really cheap fizz though - the only nice £5 botle I've ever found is from morrisons and there isnt one round here :(

    £8 is the cheapest nice one from S'burys (my only local supermarket) or its £10 for a nice one from the offie ;)

    Hello :wave:
    Did you have a good birthday BB?
    ...Linda xx
    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Hiya Linda :D

    erm, it was ok. Had a lovely afternoon in the park having a hot choccie and a slice of cheesecake with a friend and her 2 sons before they leave the area tomorrow........oooh, tomorrow! :( We had a takeaway, which OH begrudgingly went to get and I had a bottle of rose (again, I 'sent' him to make him do something!) and he hadn't got me anything and basically said did I want a wii and a wii fit. I think he gulped a bit when I finally said yes - I think he thought I'd carry on with the 'it's far too expensive' line (which it is a lot of money), but I gave in and it can be picked up from Tesco from tomorrow night :D
