    Can someone please tell me why I've lived in the UK for 13 years now and have only just heard of 'orange chips'?


    i haven't either... but i can imagine they are probably quite tasty!!!

    yum yum!


    Is there a postal strike? I never knew!

    Is it just London where they're striking?

    Actually looks like the strike will only be a problem in London so as long as it can get out the city should still arrive for Monday (dont hold your breath though :p)

    Erm, yes well that answers my question :rotfl:

    Yay! I complained to Virgin because they were trying to charge me for something I didn't want or ask for. I got a letter today which I assumed was telling me off for cancelling the DD due yesterday, but it's another bill with almost the whole amount knocked off! Instead of £35, they want £1.80. So I'll pay that!

    Really happy because I went on a bit of a comfort spend yesterday because of all the stress, and the £35 (which I'd budgeted for just in case) covers it.

    On a downside though, I've just found out my hummous has gone fizzy, yuk.

    I've never heard of orange chips either!

    No sign of floods in this bit of Yorkshire but it has been raining steadily since last night.
