    Come dine with me with Mr T.

    Mr t is coming for tea, he is fetching his other half,
    That alone, should be a great laugh.
    The Menus as follows..
    Starter.
    Campbell’s soup free with a PDF,
    I wonder what flavour they like best?
    Tomato I think will be just grand,
    After all it’s the one close to hand.
    I need to disguise this run of the mill soup,
    I think I will top it with a grated cheese loop.
    Without then there Pilgrims this would not be possible,
    And the OP who is also responsible.
    Main Course.
    Ham and cheese quiche (ham from a Mr S`s glitch a while back,
    Which worked out at 25p per pack)
    What to have with it I haven’t a clue,
    But I do have some potatoes I thought I threw out,
    Does it matter they have started to sprout?
    (Btw, its not any old ham, its nice and lean, I sure
    It’s the one bought for the Queen).
    Dessert.
    This will be easy, without a doubt,
    I have lots of things laying about.
    Jelly and cold custard, I could arrange,
    But to someone with good taste (like Mr t),this could seem strange.
    I could melt some Bounties (bought on a glitch -I remember it well, I was served by a witch.) And stir in some Shreddies and I’m sure this would make, a good alterative to a cake.
    Some glitch wine I will serve from my bar, but not if Mr T`s come by car.
    Thinking about it, Mr T seems tight, I bet his come on his old push bike.
    So my evening “Come dine with Eileen” I hope goes like a dream.
    I have my Fairy tablets, I bought lots at £3.50 a box,
    Only thing is Mr T`s hands might get wet, I haven’t found a dishwasher with a glitch yet.


    P.S Lots of likes and I will do my best to post some more after a rest. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hello everyone! :)

    just to report I'm still alive however I don't know how it's possible... :eek: Yesterday was a nightmare but I just want to forget about it...

    We still aren't unpacked and trying to sort things out but it starts looking better...

    And I need some help and I know you're the best to ask :A

    I need to buy a sofa cover, 4 chairs covers, a table cloth, 2 pairs of curtains and 3-4 shelves/storage units... Any advice where to go for best prices? Being used to free shopping doesn't help when I see the prices :(

    And it's all down to the items already in the flat(the landlord's) being awful and I hate them so much I have to get rid of them asap otherwise I'll just cry all day everyday... :( The landlord himself is a nightmare actually but I'll get back to it when I have more time... ;)

    Thanks in advance :A

    PS. Of course I kept up with you on my phone all the time yesterday and today! :D

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Ikea is generally a good bet for storage/shelving. Maybe Gumtree or Freecycle is you're lucky.

    the sofa cover will be the hardest as it's a very unusual sofa(ie f***king old but has to be "treated well" so it stays like new! :mad:
    Oh well, I might just get two throws and that's it... The LL drives me crazy :mad: He even took the pictures off the walls because there was a different shade after a while! !!!!!!?!

    Oh well, never mind, it's me spending my weekend at various T stores with lots of coupons and vouchers trying to find the best deal... :(

    Will have to check out freecyckle anyway because the fridge here is soo tiny it's full already and I didn't even go to Tesco yet!!! :eek:
