They were in the lamb section. No way could I have checked any other meat, I was nearly wetting myself as it was!!!! I did see the riveway sausages priced at £5, what happens with them?

That's the correct sel but they were £3 so after dtd they worked out at £1 per pack. I'm surprised that the sel has been changed as the old one wasn't removed by cs.;)

Gawd how many time do you need to wash down grouted tiles before they stop having a white powdery film :mad:

Depends how OCD you are about cleaning!

Afternoon all. I posted the cat/pill thingy cos I needed a laugh after the week I've had.
It started with DS2's car playing up, cost £150 to fix. Then my drains blocked, and flooded my neighbours garden and I had to call out Dynarod. Thank goodness I had drains cover on my BG account. The man told me that they charge £76 +vat just to look,:eek: then charge by the half hour, they were here two and a half hours :eek:. Note to all....get insured.:D
I burned my arm on the oven shelf, and I was allergic to the dressing I had to use to cover it for work, so had a big red rash around an already nasty looking burn, not a good look.:o.
I was going to order my $ for my trip in May and the rates all went way down overnight.:mad:
Despite rigorous following of the SW diet I only lost a pound this week.:eek:
One of my Quidco receipts was refused.:mad:
Got majorly trouted over a dtd beef joint last night.:mad:
The final straw, DS1 has very generously passed on the cold he brought home on Wednesday! Someone turned a tap on in my right nostril overnight.
I hope you are all well, (well, better than me at least!), sending big germy hugs out to anyone that needs one .
I'm going to lurk now while I compile more lists for tcb and q and apg.
I've more or less given up on porkies now. I hate waiting interminably for them to come back, only to find that half the stuff that should compare, doesn't. APG all the way, love that you only have to wait 3 hours, and you get the extra 10%.
See you all later. x

No I forgot all about the toblerone! Probably for the best though.

When I grouted ours I used one of the pan scourer things to remove the excess grout on the tiles with soap and water. Worked a treat.

A funny for those trying to give their cat a pill.:rotfl:(NOT to be actioned, I hasten to add)


1. Pick cat up and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand. As cat opens mouth, pop pill into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.

3. Retrieve cat from bedroom, and throw soggy pill away.

4. Take new pill from foil wrap, cradle cat in left arm holding rear paws tightly with left hand. Force jaws open and push pill to back of mouth with right forefinger. Hold mouth shut for a count of ten.

5. Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe. Call spouse from garden.

6. Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, hold front and rear paws. Ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get spouse to hold head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop pill down ruler and rub cat's throat vigorously.

7. Retrieve cat from curtain rail, get another pill from foil wrap. Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered figurines and vases from hearth and set to one side for gluing later.

8. Wrap cat in large towel and get spouse to lie on cat with head just visible from below armpit. Put pill in end of drinking straw, force mouth open with pencil and blow down drinking straw.

9. Check label to make sure pill not harmful to humans, drink one beer to take taste away. Apply Band-Aid to spouse's forearm and remove blood from carpet with cold water and soap.

11. Fetch screwdriver from garage and put cupboard door back on hinges. Drink beer. Fetch bottle of Scotch. Pour shot, drink. Apply cold compress to cheek and check records for date of last tetanus shot. Apply whiskey compress to cheek to disinfect. Toss back another shot. Throw tee-shirt away and fetch new one from bedroom.

12. Call fire department to retrieve the ****** cat from tree across the road. Apologize to neighbor who crashed into fence while swerving to avoid cat. Take last pill from foil-wrap.

13. Tie the ****** thing's front paws to rear paws with twine and bind tightly to leg of dining room table, find heavy duty pruning gloves from shed. Push pill into mouth followed by large piece of steak. Be rough about it. Hold head vertically and pour two pints of water down throat to wash pill down.

14. Consume remainder of Scotch. Get spouse to drive you to A&E, sit quietly while doctor stitches fingers and forearm and removes pill remnants from right eye. Call furniture shop on way home to order new table.
