Thanks HappyChappy!

Right, I must get to bed. I have packing to do. Spending Christmas week at Nikkilala's. I can't wait to wake up Christmas morning to find that Santa has left me a HUGE amount of chocolate and some rather smart duvet covers. Okay, I have to spend Boxing Day doing the invoices and H&S assessments but it will be worth it!

But I could only pay you in choccie and possibly expresso cleaners;)

I think we should all spend Christmas at Lalas:rotfl:

Bed time for me, night all.

I'd be more worried about my glitched wine with you Happy than my choccie stash, and you might get choccie on my new white duvets covers:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I'm sure we all have places we want to see in our life times?

Two of mine are Pompeii & The Giants Causeway.

Today discovered a local coach firm is doing a trip next year in June to Giants Causeway & Titanic Exhibition Belfast :T staying in Carr1ckf€rgus - have google mapped & gone down the roads virtually to see distance from hotel to Mr T Easy & open 24 hours

Any Carr1ckf€rgus 11+ want to say hello then I'd to meet you

The Giants Causeway is fab and you have to do the Carrick-a-rede rope bridge. I'll call you playground names if you don't :rotfl:

The Titanic exhibition I'm guessing is in the new Titanic Quarter. Personally I'd rather stay in a hotel in Belfast or in TQ rather than Carrick. No offense to anyone in Carrick but bar the 24 hr Ts and the castle, there isn't much else there.

For example, if you fancy a famous landmark you could stay in the Europa - the most bombed hotel in Europe (and the world I think). If you're feeling flush stay in The Merchant, a very fancy 5* hotel where the celebs stayed for the MTV EMAs. Or if you fancy something a bit more cultural, there's the Culloden just outside Belfast. Again 5* but set in beautiful grounds in one of the most expensive areas outside Belfast.

If you want any more info just PM me.

Hi all hope everyone is well, i just saw this on the main page, thought some of you may like....

The Jelly Bean Factory 200g cup gourmet beans 45p
Just been in to my local Tesco about an hour ago and found The Jelly Bean Factory Gourmet Beans 200g cups. There were no price tickets for them so I checked the price with a member of staff, it scanned at 45p :rotfl: The SA and I were speechless for a moment, before I asked her if she could watch my trolley whilst I grabbed a few more which I did and and grabbed a few for the SA too!!
I have seen these as much as £4 so an absolute bargain, obviously unsure if store specific as I don't know how Tesco works. This was in the Andover store. :j

If you check this link, these are the same!!

I'm not sure where to start with this or where to post but need some urgent advice:

Myself and my partner have been struggling with high bills at present and have been trying to cut our bills as much as possible. This has resulted in us getting our meat from the local butcher and we have seen a great reduction in price.
We have been buying from the butcher for about 6 months now and been trying different meats and been saying to the butchers to let us know of any other meats and have got quite friendly with the staff.

I was quite shocked to learn the other day the chap who normally serves us arrived at the house Monday morning with a big black bag. We were shocked to see him as we discussed where we lived but he'd never been round to the house. He said it's a new type of meat alot of people are liking at the moment but couldn't sell it to us in the shop. He said it was free as we'd been good customers.

To cut a long story short we ended up with cutlets of Swan which we ended up eating on Monday and Tuesday night. It was really good quality meat so mentioned this to a good friend of ours who said that eating this meat is illegal and should never mention this to anyone.

Has anyone else tried Swan? Is this illegal?

Chris tell me this is a wind up:eek: Right caught up as far as the swan but think I can hear a new mse baby crying on the thread:T:T:TI'm excited now.

Better go there then cause there's no Mr T's in Pompeii:D, but would highly recommend best holiday I've had, Sorrento that is.

I was going to point out to you Leenie that the Hon part of Hon Sec stands for Honorary but in view of my 'Vice' title, maybe Honorable is more suited, for the contrast :rotfl: :rotfl:

Well done everyone:T:T:T

Currently sat eating chips while hooked up to someones unsecured wifi! :rotfl:
