    Your food spend is amazing Tilly!

    Morning Lula, just goes to show how much stuff I had in the freezer. The spend has only been on fresh fruit, milk and some veg.

    Sorry... going back a few posts. The canteen where I work launched a new range of posters last year to boost custom. They actually thought an appetizing poster of a lovely salad with the catch phrase "Veg-azzle" was going to pull in the punters!!!

    Great food spends, I can easily do that in a top up shop and that's just for 2 adults and 2 smalls!

    I'm another that dislikes food shopping, not sure what compels people to saunter down every aisle either!

    Was going to have fish and chips for supper tomorrow but have changed that to HM Chinese with noodles.

    Shopping list ready for tomorrow and hopefully I'll beat the snow :)

    Washing is in the machine but I have no motivation to iron the stuff waiting for me :o

    Money shuffles taking place tomorrow :j

    That's all for now.

    I forgot to add earlier that my complaint email has worked well and we are waiting for our problems to be sorted and they have already confirmed that we will receive compensation. I'll leave that to Mr T as he will be in his element :T

    I CAN'T imagine a similar conversation with Mr GG. He would just roll his eyes and ask who would ever see it :rotfl:.
