I used to have Sauv Blanc as my fave (there was a time when everyone drank chardonney but not anymore). Have recently got into Voignier and Gewurtztraminer.. lovely. A fabulous independent wine shop opened not far from me last year and they are sooo knowledgeable - i dont have a clue about wine but they impress me everytime i go in and I end up shelling out for special ocassions.

Have heard of G but not V so will keep a look out

OMG - I am in shock!!!
Just had the most un MSE experience - that will teach me!!

I have had 2 pairs of ladies wide legged trousers shortened - £22!!!!!!!!!! Cost more than the trousers, that will teach me not to get a price first!! Did not like to ask as I know the woman, she says she has 'knocked off' a couple of pounds - mates rates!!!!!!!!!!

that sounds expensive to me but i haven't paid for any alterations recently so not sure

A man goes into a pet shop and tells the owner that he wants to buy a pet that can do everything.
The shop owner suggests a faithful dog.
The man replies, "Come on, a dog?"

The owner says, "How about a cat?"
The man replies, "No way! A cat certainly can't do everything. I want a pet that can do everything!"

The shop owner thinks for a minute, then says, "I've got it! A centipede!"
The man says, "A centipede? I can't imagine a centipede doing everything, but okay... I'll try a centipede." He gets the centipede home and says to the centipede, "Clean the kitchen."
Thirty minutes later, he walks into the kitchen and... it's immaculate! All the dishes and silverware have been washed, dried, and put away the counter-tops cleaned the appliances sparkling the floor waxed. He's absolutely amazed.

He says to the centipede, "Go clean the living room."
Twenty minutes later, he walks into the living room. The carpet has been vacuumed the furniture cleaned and dusted the pillows on the sofa plumped, plants watered. The man thinks to himself, "This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. This really is a pet that can do everything!"

Next he says to the centipede, "Run down to the corner and get me a newspaper."
The centipede walks out the door. 10 minutes later... no centipede.
20 minutes later... no centipede. 30 minutes later... no centipede.
By this point the man is wondering what's going on. The centipede should have been back in a couple of minutes. 45 minutes later... still no centipede!
He can't imagine what could have happened. Did the centipede run away? Did it get run over by a car? Where is that centipede?

So he goes to the front door, opens it... and there's the centipede sitting right outside.
The man says, "Hey!!! I sent you down to the corner store 45 minutes ago to get me a newspaper. What's the matter?!" The centipede says, "I'm goin'! I'm goin'! I'm just puttin' on my shoes :rotfl:

Stop putting up with this PC nonsense and complain to T's



It also contains pigs heart which is not classed as pork for some reason but is far better for you and a much better quality that some of the standard "pork" in cheaper poorer quality sausages you will find! very few sausages contain lean pork and much of what you find in sausages is sinew, cartilege and mechanically reclaimed meat :eek:(look it up) etc! for that reason im in!:D

very impressed with your memory locarr:) 90 % pork is the visual lean, which means it is 10% fat.

the rules are changing again... mechanically seperated meat can not count in the meat content either. if it says 90% pork it must be a cut like the casserole pork you can buy from t's. if it says 60% pork usually a belly pork type product, and thus 40% fat.

and by the way to be called sausage it must contain 32% proper meat.

oh i love all the rules of food, live it everyday.

mainly can't wait to chat about something else:)

Choose any card. Go to the till and ask for the offer where you get a £15 gift voucher for £10 when you buy a card.

So for £11.50 you have one £15 gift voucher and one card.

keep the card until you need it, spend the £15 gift voucher on whatever you want.

I bought 2 cards with 2 £15 vouchers. total cost was 1.50+ 10= 11.50 - twice = £23. That gave me £30 gift vouchers

For anyone stuck with what to spend their gift cards on at whsmiths as they are sooo expensive,:eek: I have managed to buy stamps and phone top ups with mine. A few sa's have said I can't but most have allowed me too

Seems a few people are doing exercise/giving up smoking/losing weight. My plan is to learn Spanish. Got my first class tonight (I'm a bit nervous, it's like going back to school!). It's only 5 weeks long then I can progress to the next level come Sept. I think it may be bad timing though as baby due end of Aug so I'll be baby brain mush when i'm trying to speak Spanish.:doh:

Free here, may help a bit

WOW that is cool. (Though a bit freaky as when I was young I used to have a recurring dream that I was on a plane that couldn't take off so just went along roads!!)
