I am off to bed now as have appointment at 9 am at JobCentre :eek: :eek:

Night Night all - sleep well and don't have nightmares

Re the Cono Sur . . . . a dash of Ribena can help.

You are 47% tight

"You're frugal, you're thrifty, but on this site that's a little bit fab."

Don't think that is good enough really!! Also I really don't post enough, I am on here every night...normally around this time as my LO has her sleeping times all mixed up. She is only 11wks old so sure she'll figure it out soon.

Anyway I love to read all your posts/jokes/banter/optical illusions...and the occasional glitch!

Anyone found any pink koko around the Manchester area pleeaazzzee? Am all 'mingled out' but cant find these elusive Koko, scanning at £1.01 or even the £2 offer. TIA

They had them in G0rt0n a few days ago. No SEL but scanned at £1.01

I have been lucky enough to find the Silentnight duvet, I put it on our bed last night and it is soooo warm!! I found another 2 in 2nd store I visited but got male trouted at ss when he came to take tags off. Hope he can sleep at night knowing my Mum and Sis will be cold this Christmas :rotfl::rotfl:

Found a SEL for E-cloth general purpose cloth £5.21 reduced to £1.30. The shelf was bare but hopefully will have in another store!

Also don't know if this has been posted De Cecco Arrabbiata pasta sauce 400g 47p

And can't remember if I have mentioned the Tesco baby rearview mirror 9p it attaches to your normal rearview mirror so you can see child in backseat, in green box in baby section

Ok here's a question, for all wine drinkers.

I like white and rose but I'm not too keen on red. Can anyone recommend some wines, especially reds, that are really really fruity and sweet as I'm not keen on the dry, bitter ones. If that makes sense?

Oh and on the subject of whoopsied flowers.....

I was waiting for extremely slow manager to authorise DTD at CS the other week and saw a crowd begin to gather and realised it was reduced flowers, sent OH straight over. He came back empty handed, I asked why and he said they were too expensive still.

The finest roses were only reduced from £25 to £2:eek::eek:

I asked if I was not worth that after carrying our child and enduring a 40hr labour;). He bolted back over quick sharp and grabbed a bouquet!

Think I've been spoiling him with all my 1p finds, he's lost all sense of value

I am no expert but like fruity reds, normally drink Merlot. There is a gorgeous wine in Tesco Finest range which i got in 25% off glitch a few months ago, I'll dig a bottle out tomorrow and let you know which it is:)

Right baby is finally has a full belly and has fallen asleep so I'm signing off, night all xx

We normally suggest a Tesco own brand Red called Hollywood, this time last year it was £2.99 but now its £3.99 but still a great wine for the price.

It really needs to be a room temp and also benifits from being decanted if you have the time but we have quite a few friends we think of as "wine snobs" and this has been classed as first rate, even when mixed in with Reds at £20 a bottle :eek: and I'm being serious there.


Tip - if you dont have time to decante, pour into a big wide jug, (or cassarole dish) stir well and heat for 1 min on full power in the mic and stir well again, pour back into the bottle if your friends prefer that.


You cant really go wrong with any Californian Red
