    Another '£10 off a £50 online shop' voucher came through from Sainsburys. I feel so unethical using it - it drives 30 miles to get here, and I live opposite a really good Sainsburys. But £10... :P

    I wouldn't worry about it, it's not like the vehicle is coming from Preston especially to deliver just your shopping, there'll be loads of other people's on there too. You're just a small stop on his milk round (in a manner of speaking) so TAKE THE MONEY!!! xxx

    I'm NEVER short of alcohol :D As for 300 people... only one way to find out!

    It's a very warm flat though - it was like the Caribbean when I had 8 round for Christmas dinner, so 300 might get a bit toasty :p
