  • Nope .....unfortunately I'm in tomorrow & Friday too ... and working more hours than I have been :eek:

    Oh boy!:(

    Glad I went to SM today as it means I can have a really quiet weekend and won't need to go anywhere if I don't feel like it.

    However, I am glad I worked today (was originally going to be off and TBH I could've done with it) as it means I have a few less hours next week (as was nearly going to be back to FT:eek:)

  • Instant Latte Sachets

    Some may remember the coffee machine pod thing debate I had a couple of weeks ago ..... well, I've been trying packet stuff

    Obviously not as good as the "real" stuff BUT it's fine for the odd cup and will certainly do for work!:)

    Did get some 1/2 price at Mr T a couple of weeks ago BUT when I was in Al*di today, I noticed they did them - more expensive than the 1/2 price ones, but much cheaper than full price IYKWIM:o

    Anyway - just tried one and ... have to say ..... it's the best one yet!:T

    £1.49 for 11 sachets

  • Ohhhh :o AND their own digestive biscuits are actually pretty good!:T

    I'm a bit of a ..... digestive errrrr fan:o and have been putting off trying them (have tried other own brands before and hated them ... it's McVs all the way for me) ... but they're getting REALLY expensive :( and best I've been able to do recently is £1.99 for 2 x 500g packs

    Well... Al*di ones are only 30p :eek: OMG thought it must be a mistake ... but no - they're smaller @ 400g but still ......

    Hi Rising.

    How's the back to work going? Be kind to yourself and take is slow...it's a big adjustment.

    I think I'm further up the coast than you. I can get to the Jewel in 15 minutes (10 when I forget about that mad 50 mph zone :o).

  • Hmmmm, I keep meaning to try out the Ald1 here - it would mean a detour on the way home but might be worth it. Thanks for the potential motivation :)
