    Hi, I'm almost afraid to ask having read 24 hrs of thread yesterday and trying to catch up today, but have I totally missed the 5 beans vouchers ? I understand they don't expire til nov.
    I used to love following this thread after discovering it early last summer, so uplifting and supportive. reading yesterday made me so sad that it had changed. Hopefully just a glitch and it will return to what is was before. Anyway sorry moan over, can anyone help with the 5 beans please
    i agree totally and ive only been away 10 days. i tried the bean quiz as well today and it didnt work :( think it must have finished.

    I know shocking ! The young ones in my college class last year were verging on alcoholics. I don't drink much to be honest, I just don't get the chance. Time precious.

    I do however get wine for FIL Xmas etc so will search for bargains for him .

    I'm bit far from the border for a hooch run but I have felt a little left out on the wine glitch :(

    not much of a drinker either but would have bought some wine for gifts for teachers and raffle prizes.
    i've got 4 bottles of Baileys in the cupboard as i keep getting it for Christmas and birthdays, will probably be out of date soon, love the taste and i have a notion for it now and again but the kids have usually used up all the ice and it tastes yukky without :(
    mmm..... these strawberries make my breath happy mum ds

    On a strand of pure silver, I'll welcome each day

    Morning everyone

    I have just spent the last 3 hours catching up and I feel really sad. i do not know what has happened but over the last couple of days the thread seems to have changed with constant bickering and arguing and a lot of the regulars are disappearing.

    Please do not let this happen to the thread everyone.

    I do not think I am the only person on here that will say that this thread and the wonderful people on here have been a godsend to me at what was a really dark and difficult time in my life.
    Well said,, im sure we all agree :cool:
