Lunch/dinner - antipasto and chocolate truffles

A lovely afternoon/early evening catching up with old friends and grazing. I was designated driver however Mr MWC is hammered - terrible behaviour for a Sunday afternoon :rotfl:

...(still need to spend approx. £10 in Sainsburys on Monday but determined not to spend a penny more on food this week...)

oh dear, I spent £19.04 (£20.05 before using brand match coupon) - I'm blaming Mr MWC!

I received an interesting till spit though - 12p/L off fuel if I spend £60 or more instore before next Monday... that shouldn't be too difficult :rotfl:

There was a letter from T&M in the post today. 1 of 2 plants that were due to be available late-May 2013 aren't actually available until spring 2014. They've apologised effusively, given me a £10 gift voucher and will be sending me some complimentary foxgloves and perennial geraniums by the end of the month :T No news on the cerinthes for 1p so I still need to follow up with their customer services. I must also remind Mr MWC to collect and open any parcels that arrive whilst I'm away.

No reply from Sarah Raven yet. I'm never ordering anything from her website again - rubbish customer service, rubbish plants and rubbish packaging. In future I will look and, if there are any must-haves, I will source the plants elsewhere.

Sicilian sausage, puy lentil, celeriac & spring greens soup for dinner. Mr MWC moaned that soup wasn't very seasonal but it certainly hasn't been very summery here for the past few days!

Yum that soup sounds nice! It's freezing here too so perfect weather for soup me thinks !

muddywhitechicken

It was delicious LauraJo (we had 2 servings each )

The recipe was from Sainsburys magazine a few months ago. I can't find it online so let me know if you want me to post it here.

SR's customer service is not a patch on T&M's I finally got a response today - it appears that despite the web site and my order confirmation e-mail stating on 9 May that the angelica plants were available immediately, they are not actually available until late September :mad::mad::mad: That's no use to me at all so I have cancelled the order and asked for a refund. The hydrangea is due to be sent out by the end of the week...

Spent £88 in Sainburys (mainly on good wine ) but the 12p/L coupon will save Mr MWC £6 when he fills up tomorrow!

I'm itching to make a mid-month MOP but would be silly to do so before my car is serviced and MOT'd next Friday...

My dad has paid in £20 pocket money to the savings account I have had since a baby I'm 42 :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
