Yes as it helps to protect the cake, what I have done before if I have been out of greaseproof paper is use the butter wrapper on top of the cake to protect it then used dampened newspaper on the OUTSIDE of the tin using string to keep it in place

I would always use parchmont, particularly with a fruit cake. They are in the oven for a long time so it give a little protection from the metal :-)

Thanks, I'll think I'll get some then.

afternoon Elite!

been lurking last few days and playing catch up... thank god for the forum works last night as otherwise I would stand no chance!

bad toothache here :(:(
and it's my own fault as I had it back in the summer, been in bad pain 5+ days ending in A&E begging them to give me anything to stop the pain and once the second lot of antibiotics worked I forgot all about it! :mad: then we were moving and I was looking for work etc. The dentist warned me it will come back!
So I'm now suffering for the third day, finishing off the useless antibiotics the dentist gave me last time and it doesn't work! went to the GP surgery for better ones but they refused to see me as I'm not registered yet and it will take them 7-10 days! so I'm now taking 2 neurofens and 2 panadols every 2-3 hours and waiting for bf to come home and take me to some walk in clinic keeping the tramadol for the worst that is probably yet to come *crying like a baby and wanting her mummy*
I soo can't stand pain, I can't magine giving birth to a baby! It's probably what puts me off most!

sorry, had to tell someone bf is sick of listening to me

This may sound a crackers idea, but it sure gives me some temporary relief - brush gently around the tooth with sensitive toothpaste - doesn't have to be the expensive sensodyne, Mr T's own version (around 60p) works fine. I also swear by cocodamol, and ibuprofen in between doses and dont have a hot drink!

Free spa days up to £25, no bogof just FREE, no treatments included unsurprisingly but use of sauna, steam room ,jacuzzi and gym...a nice freebie if you live near one of the locations, I think you may need to buy the Telegraph tomorrow.

Mmm moral dilemma time,,,
Last week I printed out a cc voucher for £2.50, when the sa tried to scan it, it wouldn't scan so called manager who was nearby, they both checked it against my cc number and she rang it through manually as a reduction (did not see her put the bar code numbers in)

Today I have just received a £2.50 cc voucher in the post (same bc number as the printed pdf) also checked on-line and it says the voucher has not been used !!

Your thoughts please ;-)

Hi guys, I know this has been briefly mentioned on Grabbit but can confirm that if you purchase the Valentine's £15 deal with the mixed green veg (must be in the designated meal deal chiller in your store) the deal will not kick in so DTD!

The green veg is not part of the deal according to the Ts website but was in the meal deal chiller in my store in one location, but not in the other.

Another poster said you would get the meal free but on my calculations I paid:

Frixinet Cava - £9.49
Green veg selection - £2.50
Lamb Shank - £10
Gu choc dessert - £3.29

=£25.28/£10.28 o/c so = £20.56 back DTD.

Meal therefore cost £4.72 :T:j:T
Still fantastic for a deal that includes £9.49 bubbly!

HTH - so happy to finally be of use!

Just had a very nice shop, auto hammer SEL £29.00 scanned at £65.99 so paid £7.99 to take it away

Also saw about 300 bags of the Lindt balls all scanning at 1p

Great finds guys! Were these OOD SEL's or glitches?

Local has a ton of OOD SEL's, all continued offers so far though, with no scanner it's a slow process scanning. SS => Electrical => Chemist. Trying to be descreet..

Although, I might head to the big T's as I peed off one of the SA's in my local earlier. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Spill the beans what did you do ?

My DS is the opposite - very placid & quiet - so much so I think he often gets overlooked!
The school should not have labelled your son "difficult" this is sooooo bad practice!!!!:mad:
Really need to push the school to have him tested properly but remember he will be in another school shortly - the high school should have better testing & procedures.
He sound like he has the same problem as my DS - phonetical dyslexia & possibly a bit of dyspraxia - they go hand in hand.
His anger is probably mainly frustration as he is clever & realises he is having difficulty in this area when he is so confident elsewhere, although he could be ASD.
You won't know until you have him tested so go in all guns blazing - they should refer you - it only takes one teacher to write the refferal, best to get the diagnosis now if you can then the high school can plan (sorry I know I'm sort of contradicting myself - what I meant before was don't worry - high school is not far away)

My DS had a fab year 6 teacher - her sister is dyslexic so gave him all the support he needed - shouldn't have taken until year 6 tho:mad: - I said from the beginning that he could not hear the phonics - didn't realise how bad it was until DS2 was learning them though. We also have a friend who teaches at a school for dyslexic children so she tutored him so he got good SAT results, we chose the high school bases on the good reports for the LS dept & he has settled really well & still get help 1 lesson a week

Sorry for the rambling post it makes me so :mad: that schools still don't recognise problems & give kids the proper help.:o

DS done his AQE (11+) and got a lot less then he expected, I'm not sure if the teacher expected him to get more until I speak to her on Monday.
I will be asking again about the testing and insisting that something is done sooner rather than later
