    Aww that's great BB, thanks. I was just thinking should i get something to eat when i arrive tonight or get a sarnie from M&S.
    nearest M+S is in town so I wouldn't do down that route, it's about 10-15 min walk to town and it shuts at 5.30.

    The Shah is the nearest, then there's another chinese takeaway about 50 metres after that on Fernside Rd (turn left at the shah, not right as you'll end up at the other one at the bottom of the hill near the college!).

    Also, Tesco have an offer on Reeses Cups - 39p for a packet of 3!!!:D

    I told my colleague who loves these and she's already scoured Tesco looking for them but failed.

    Basically I don't like nuts of any kind (now, now, no comments :rotfl:) but the Reeces cups just have this lovely taste and it makes me wonder if the one I tried as a kid - probably Sunpat chunky - isn't how others taste.

    I guess the solution is to add a jar to the shopping and see!

    gonzo - when I was debt busting, I called all my CC's and played it dumb. I said I was doing financial housekeeping and asked the APR. I then acted shocked and said I was a really happy customer but the APR meant I would have to consider moving elsewhere. Some wouldn't budge, but some - including Barclaycard cut huge chunks off the APR straight away.

    worth it for a phone call.

    Smooth tastes sweeter than crunchy, and obviously has a different texture. I like crunchy, but not a big fan of smooth.

    Nuts are good. They can fill you up.

    BB- I've only tried Reece's once and I thought they were horrendously sweet. I do like normal peanut butter though. Not sure if that helps at all :rotfl:

    No. She's only a witness. If you were disputing that you'd signed it, then they'd ask her for more information - but you're not doing that.

    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    You're not missing much with peanut butter BB....stick to plain nuts, much more healthy.

    Been at the hospital all morning with DD2, she's fractured her wrist, need to see the orthopeadic chappie before they put her in a full cast but she's got a backplate on for now....loads of swelling and bruising....bless her.

    Waiting for the school to call me back...I'm not happy :cool:

    Got a full on week with appointments for DH so need to crack on with ironing and housework this afternoon....I need a florence nightingale outfit. :)

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
