    TPAs work is never done.

    Another 8 items listed on ebay, one got a bid within minutes of listing:eek: 5 items finishing later tonight, one with a bid the rest just being watched:mad:. The one with bids was listed last week and did not make one bid, this week I have 3 people bidding on the very same item,,,,nothing weirder than ebay folk! (Except perhaps the residents of Lewis Lane)

    I don't have a really sweet tooth so I tend to go for soda water or diet flavoured tonic water with ice & a slice. Really important to have the ice & a slice and a nice glass.

    Or, I love ginger beer - Sainsburys diet is best. Again, ice & slice & maybe a touch of fresh lime juice.

    DansMum what is this Oxfam online you speak of? Is it like ebay but for a good cause :)......... off to investigate ;)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Thanks TPA managed 2 days so far my favorite non alcoholic drink is pink grapefruit juice with soda water or just plain water. Taste really good and Sainsbury's own brand is just as nice as Tropicana and 3l for £4 which makes 6l if drunk with water. I agree a nice glass is essential my friend drinks soft drinks out of a wine glass.
