    Jemma - ;)you must go to posh zumba in a posh place, this is just in the local civic centre - still not plucked up the courage to go yet...

    I had to laugh at the comment 'posh zumba' :rotfl:

    I used to go line-dancing and it never occurred to me that, depending on the venue, it would be 'posh linedancing' or << shock-horror>> 'skanky linedancing' :rotfl:

    (No offense intended - I just couldn't think of another word that was un-posh ;))

    Random question but I just got a pack of baby new potatos out of the cupboard (not realising they should be in the fridge) they are dated best before 16/05... they have gone mushy. Should I still try and complain? Do i need to go in the shop or can I call their helpline?

    I think it would depend on when you bought them and how long you've had them. If I bought a bag of potatoes I would expect them to last a week without any problems, any less than that and I'd be complaining. By the way, I never keep potatoes in the fridge, always in a brown paper bag in the cupboard. If their helpline is a freephone number give it a ring and see what they say, it won't have cost you anything to find out. Good luck :)

    ETA: I've just realised today is the 16th :eek:, so yes, I would definately complain.

    a £2 money card is winging it's way to me :) I feel a bit bad because they are going to let the supplier know...

    I've made ginger biscuits today on an MSE note :) It was all stuff I had in the cupboard and used an egg instead of chucking it.
