Morning! ...still seem to be making lunches even in the holidays

Izzyb - yes the Father's Day 'stuff' has been reduced - pint glasses were 37p a week ago and I did see masses of them out (no sel) in my shop a day ago. The big choc coins were marked as down to £1, but that was with a double reduction so I think they are on the way down.

also yesterday DD got several metal Me-to-you 'best friends' keyrings bc 1592 light blue packaging for 20p each. Says £5 on the clip strip, but there was a white sel for 20p labeled '2 part key ring' on the shelf. Good for youngish girly birthday presents!

and wombled a £10 note! ...holding out til Thursday for any sort of shop though...

Fudge_Cake your quiche looked AMAZING!! :T

Morning all - another lovely sunny day for me too. Loads of washing out on the lines already - I get washing fever whenever the weather is good and wash evrything in sight lol

Fudgecake - thank you for the warm welcome back. Yes, things have been hard for quite a while but hopefully I've turned the corner x

BTW, your food looks amazing. I love rustic:T:T Mine is more of the doorstop lead weight variety unfortunately. Family dread me saying I think I'll do some baking as they know what is usually coming their way:(:(:(:(

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh haven't had a chance to sit down and relax all day!!! :eek:

I've literally just got in and was hoping that I'd found something new but I saw that it's already been reported Story of my life!

The 2 litre Dr Pepper, Fanta, Lilt and Sprite are definitely scanning this evening at £1.26 bogof

I have to confess, probably a poor decision on my part I found these in passing this morning on T.com but thought I'd confirm before posting. Got distracted then totally forgot about it and forgot my list when I went to T's :eek: But luckily as I'm out of Pepsi Max :eek::eek::(:(:(:( I visited the soft drinks aisle and spotted them Only a few of the 'zero' sugar flavours on the shelf so only got 4 bottles but quite a few empty spaces.

Did LOTS of cooking today. For dinner I did a mixture of sticky teriyaki beef and roast chicken legs with new potatoes, sprouts, carrots, creamy swede mash and gravy. Simultaneously I made a quiche with fried onion (from a whoopsied root veg pack) MAM crispy bacon and some cheddar cheese from a block whoopsied to 9p :T;





and from the remainder of the pastry an egg custard tart;



They are both EXTREMELY rustic so excuse :o But I love seeing other people's piccies so I'll share

Unfortunately I had major pastry shrinkage and as a result both couldn't hold as much filling as I'd hoped :(

But they still tasted scrummy, even if I do say so myself ;):cool:

Hope all's as well as can be with you lovely lot....off to catch up with a cuppa

Looks delish - can almost smell it lol

Morning everyone:)Beautiful day here today and can feel it's going to be a hot one, Don't think I'll be venturing anywhere very far today as know I'm going to be "trapped" by traffic with the torch and the olympics:( Saying that I have just noticed the possible Boots glitch, now I could be tempted by that;);)

I THINK the Fathers Day chocolates had RTC yellow SELS saying "Offer ends 24/7/12"

If I'm right then we should all check the prices again tomorrow incase they are renewing the offers or reducing further (to 1p??)

Good morning everyone. Lovely and sunny here, the sun is right in my eye! Wish I could go for another bike ride today!

Just a quick question, anyone know when the next Homebase 10/15% off weekend is please? Pretty please "flutters eyelashes".

S has reduced the price of the Bavaria shandy to half price, now £1.49, so just 49p even when not BMing. Matches the T price and only a 50p differential now in the A price, so if you are getting this and hoping for a BM you may need to redo your sums/shopping list

au98113 - I hope so! Might be worth a trip to a T with a scanner

Nikilala- how's the running going?? You still training?
