I'm glad you said that. I checked a few SEL's which I was sure ended today and they were dated 23rd. Theres still a few things ending but not so many now.

I think your old favourite (the Denby) is still on a 13/1 finish but I doubt it will go back to full price.. but you never know;) Some of it has been as low as £22 in some stores in this area.

I couldn't agree more.
My house tried to kill me a couple of years back when the faulty boiler developed a CO leak.
Luckily we've had an alarm for years and it did it's job correctly. I think I even tried to kiss it after!
I'm very strict on safety here so these things don't half shake me up.
But we're all still here and safe so that's all that maters:)

Right, cake is in progress - the dried fruit (bbe Mar 2012 but unopened ) is soaking in the tea with some demerara sugar. I wanted to use the muscovado sugar but I hadn't stored it in an airtight container when I last used it [STRIKE]a couple of years ago [/STRIKE]and it's ROCK HARD :rotfl:(Couldn't risk waking DS up by bashing it, no cake is worth that)

I found some dates left in a packet (bbe Dec 2011 ) but they were too wizened really to be useable. I cut into one and it shot up and nearly blinded me :eek:

My SR flour is bbe Jan 2012 - no worries I thought, I'll bung in a bit of baking powder. Oh dear bbe May 09 :eek: perhaps not then :rotfl:

If this turns out like anything resembling cake tomorrow I will be impressed.

Just my two pence worth, dark muscovado is too strong and over powers the cake and try soaking the dates seperately if still beyond it fine no loss , as for bbe dates :rotfl:I would try it anyway.:)

The Persils (powder and liquid) seem to be doubling in price, if you can find any of them still and find them with half price SELs.

May have to buy even number of the Pineapple Chunks and the Listerine as per previous multibuy offers. Apologies: I don't know previous prices or offers as I wasn't quick enough to take this information before some of the prices changed tonight.

Some Tommee Tippees Closer to Nature Bottles 6 at 260ml each appear to be at £12.99 until 15/1/13 - may go back up to £25.99 so look for mispriced SELs on 16/1???

Rootednomad, where are you? I'm trying to take your crown, but you know better than me on all this - I don't know how you get your list or where you get it from? In any event, you're brill on this.:)

Scary place:eek: Gone downhill a bit then. Guy that owned the company used to work for in Sunderland ended up there. He was definitely nutty as a fruit cake.

Yes, those were the days before showers and the once a week bath if you were lucky. If you were even luckier, the bath water was hot:rotfl:

I bumped into Robin recently at the ArtsBank and he still uses roll film for his photos but doesn't take pictures like that anymore. These days South Bank (or anywhere else for that matter) isn't the kind of place you could turn up and start taking pics of kids in the street:eek:

Sunday night :eek: OMG how bad is that thinking about it and the bath water was not just yours might be 2nd or 3rd hand

DW checks our smoke alarm regularly.....whilst cooking:rotfl:

On a more serious note it's good advice and only takes a minute.
Also don't do as my DD and housemates did and remove the battery because it was getting annoying with it's continuous beeping(battery low):eek: Of course they then forgot all about getting a new battery until I noticed the lid hanging down and went immediately to get a new one.

So when are you going into print with all these recipes and photos, and Dexter was a little sod today seen as they where both there I was the last thing he wanted to take notice of. Much more fun to be had disappearing into dense woods with Bailey and she was worse would not sit for 1 photo first time she has been there in 10 weeks or so . So it may be a few more weeks before she will stay still long enough to get a photo
