    I found a huge basil plant down to 20p - same here, they don't normally reduce things by much. Tomorrows potato salad will have a generouse helping of fresh basil.... Yum :D
    This is so sad - I'm almost tempted to drive to the TEsco Extra store because I know they allways have better offers there at the end of the day!!!!

    Tootles - glad you had a good day. Nice to be spoiled for a change eh?

    Monsters of Rock was a big annual rock festival - the likes of AC/DC, metallica, black Crows, Iron Maiden, Motley Crue played there. Now they have something called 'Download' which I believe is the same. It was a great weekend where many camped the night before and got 'merry' ;) got even 'merrier' on the day - listened to lots of rock music and got covered in mud/sunburned and then slept it off overnight.
    Quite an expereince, and never to be forgotten :D

    Lol at you two! I have tried it before - and eventually got 'stung' even though I only dabbled. Last night tho I did have some rather nice dreams about some hunk... ooo errr!
    Got a friend of mine into it (she thought I was mad) and now she seems very settled with this guy who is absolutely loaded!
