    ....Looking on the Approved Foods site.....How does loo roll go out of date? Does it rot or turn into the bog monster?

    I LOVE peppermint tea - but its sooo an acquired taste - I got into it on the back of those chai winter teas you get at coffee places... :D

    Peppermint tea is ruddy vile.

    I had it after a C-section....all I wanted was tea and toast and they made me drink nasties.

    'orrible people.

  • Peppermint tea I like, cammomile though, can't stomach it. And the MIL once got me a box of 40 cammomile tea bags because she'd noticed "I like that herbally stuff" :rotfl: They're now about 3 years out of date (does tea go off?) and I still can't face them. I live in hope that one day someone on Old Style will post an ingenious usage for them!

    Attach a bit of ribon to each one and hang off the christmas tree....

    Parcel them up with some stale biscuits and make a "hamper" for the lovely MIL

    Snip open each bag and pour contents into the bin....followed swiftly by the rest of the bags.

    Leave them in the back of the cupboard and invent a new type of bacteria.

    :D
