    Looks like I will have to get myself a bottle :D - not tried that one. Lets hope my local T's stock it, they never seem to stock half the beers mentioned on their website :mad: I prefer the darker beers but will give anything a try.:beer: Wychwood do some nice beers and a few others are top of my list. I love Belgian beer, particularly Westvleteren 12 and Rocherfort 10. Seem to be collecting them rather than drinking them lately because of the diet :)

    I was wondering where you picked up your moniker , now I know ;)

    I picked up a few more Innis & Gunn at T's , they stack them (in our store) next to the Belgium beers etc so easy to find .

    I've tried a few trappist monk brews from time in Belgium/Holland etc , some areally nice with unusual tastes but the majority are so strong (at my age) that i usually pass on them .
    I like a few of the wheat beers as well ...in fact I like most beers / lagers .
    I've a cool one in the fridge as I type , in fact I'll be sipping it very shortly .:beer:
    I was young once , now I get older all the time .

    i need help advice/or just some guidance.

    the feed in tariff changes on the 3rd march for solar panels.

    i want solar panels.

    i suppose i want my friends to talk sense of encourage me.

    what scares me is the cost. i can afford them, but they are expensive.
    i have read the solar forum on here, they seem to mostly argue over there:eek:

    if i decide to get these i have to get them before the 3rd march.

    Sorry I dont know much about solar panels
    But my sis had them fitted last year and is really happy with them
    I thought the tariff changed Dec just gone??
    My brothers all rushed and had theirs done, got them a few grand cheaper than my sis

    My OH refused to have them done says price will drop even further and to be patient and wait?!

    I wasn't keen on having them done because no idea where I would have had to move all my T's stashes for the workmen to physically get into my garage !!!:D:rotfl:

    This is the 63p salt & pepper set (jar of jam for size comparison). Now anyone with a weak heart or a mouthful of food may want to look away.

    This looks like a newer version but still:

    Thanks, whats the difference then, are the ears different? I fear I have seen the same ones that Artha saw...£8ish each, as the ones I saw were not in a pair on a board:(.

    Oooh thanks for that. I did sign up for the £1 trial with the £15 of John Lewis/Waitrose vouchers and found the magazine very interesting :)

    We both do unfortunately :( Both of us have had blood clots and are on Warfarin. I also have SLE (Lupus) and Mum has something called Bechet's (both illnesses affect out immune system and cause arthritic joints) Then we've both got Osteoporosis and a few other things in the mix too.

    When we went to Orlando in 2004 it cost £800 for 2 1/2 weeks health insurance and that was before my blood clotting problems were confirmed :eek: I dread to think what it would be now :(:(:(:mad::mad::mad: Some people get all the luck eh?! :o:p

    I can see what you mean about health insurance, a lot of insurance companies you can opt out of water sports etc which could bring the cost down.

    My other option was going to be 4 nights at a Warner Leisure Hotel with a friend who is like a second Mum or even a holiday camp but I really needed to get away now.

    9 years. but the feed in tarriff is currently 46p and will change to 21p on the 3rd april.

    I guess you need to look at how much return you would get over 9 years if you invested the money you intend to spend on solar panels and also if you intend to stay in your present home for more than 9 years.
