    Hehehe - my nachos recipe isn't much more high tech Toto - bung Smart Price tortilla chips on microwaveable plate (see where I'm going with this... :D), dot half a jar of salsa on top, chop up a few jalapenos (from the dubious looking jar at the back of the fridge) and bung on top, sprinkle on grated cheese, microwave for 2 minutes!

    :T :D

    Dirty.....but sooooo good!! :rotfl:

    to be honest bookie, my engagement ring would have brought nothing. It cost £199 in 1992 from H Samuels so would be not worth selling and although I left him, I do see him as a friend who I get on with better over the last few years than we ever did in the last couple of years we were together.

    I sold my wedding and engagement rings last year. I'm a hard unfeeling bit of work. I did have a wee weep though.

    I threw mine into the sea at Morecambe....:o how stupid was I. The first one that is....I wouldn't do it to the one I have now.

    I would sell mine too, it's just metal in the end, the good memories are still there - as are the bad ones! I would maybe keep them if we'd had kids together but I was married and divorced about a million years ago and they are way out of fashion anyway.

    They just weighed mine for the gold value with some other rubbish I had. I gave the first one back.
