    Quoted myself now, how's that? Just be careful on the fillers - even if we can get back 89p - that you don't spend more than that on the fillers just to get a lesser amount on the PP back than the spending on the fillers: unless you need the filler items and they are themselves at rather good prices.

    And doing a re-quoting of the quoting, like a Dave, now (but tinyshoes and spiralingdown have beaten me to it with posts in between - and best not to encourage this re-quoting behaviour, end up babbling around to myself in a minute if I'm not careful...)
    Just to say that's all from me for tonight/these early hours, and sorry I've managed to mess at least two people's potential shops around, and cause a glitch scare that turned out not to be, but at least discovered the diary 2 for 1 is mix and match on the cheapest items free before it was too late. I'll have to leave you with this information, and the rest of the info. we've had on here, all of it piled together on top of each other, to sort out the best shop using those the diary voucher. I'm sure, as you read this thread, you're more than capable.
    Good night.

    OK - I am off to the bed. Need to be in good form tomorrow. If the glitch is on I need to be in the form to do it several times. If the glitch is off my mind has to be strong enough to cope with that knowledge!!! Night, night sleep tight!!

    Night hun, I'm still making lists.:rotfl:

    Pleased to hear you enjoyed the film,

    Pakora. Have you ever visited anywhere near Glasgow?

    Have you ever tried onion bajhis?

    Imagine a bag of similarly fried vegetable fritters but about 12-20 with a spicy tomato/onion dip sold as a a takeaway (not just as a starter).

    It's the signiature takeway dish of (at least Western) Scotland) -unlike deep-fired Mars bars which are an urban myth (or close to being one):rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Ask anyone you know from Scotland. I'm dleighted you still have that treat ahead of you.:beer:


    I've never visited Scotland.
    Hope you have a lovely time with your family.

    Is there such a thing?

    I got this one from Toscos when they double discounted stuff, I think I paid around £10

    My mum laughed at me when I took it to her house (I was living there at the time) she soon changed her mind when she saw just how much of my stuff I got in there.
    I love it and you get loads into it.
    I just need to figure out where it will be put in my new house as there is only a yard and most of it is taken up by the oil tank and boiler.

    The pakora we get here is chicken covered in a spicy pink/red batter and usually deep fried, my DH introduced me to this culinary delight usually covered in garlic sauce yummy!

    LOVE chicken pakora! and onion bhajis. I have had a deep fried mars bar and it was truly disgusting:rotfl:
    Chicken pakora's a less well know dish in Scotland, as it's mainly confined to Chinese takeaways. Meat dishes fill you up early and suppress your apetite . In Scotland vegetable pakoras are a common starter and I've seen it in fish & chip shops and pizza parlours and pubs as swell as more obvious outlets. It's not so filling but the sauce is really tempting (and hard to find outside Scotland IIRC)

    I'd love to be corrected on this!:beer:
