Well done you, a combination of MSE and quitting smoking I actually have savings and no long spend £120 a week on shopping for 2 people!!!

the not eating meat bit stops me doing this i will just sniff it but i have had plenty of volunteers thanks



this sounds really good and simple will definatly give it a go thanks a lot, will also try it with a pork joint i have in freezer as i have family down next week

Hello again, forgot to say most of the pork joints I roast this way don't have skin, so no crackling, no problem. If yours does have skin and you want crackling this method of cooking is still fine, but take off the skin after cooking, chop into strips, sprinkle with salt and roast in a very hot oven for 5-10 minutes until crispy. Yum! ( Well if you aren't a veggie that is.)

Has anyone heard anything more about the nectar double points event? (happening from 10th to 30th April iirc)...I've been frantically trying to bump up DM/OH/my nectar points by doing nectar adpoints. It is very tedious but I'm hoping to get a few quids worth of nectar points by the end of April.

N/a I'm afraid.

Interesting but odd, if you look at MSM some 200g are £1 each in As and no multi showing, others are £1 each, 2 for £3.50?

Tangy Cheese 200g is showing as £1 in As with no multi, the other Chilli Heatwave is £1, 2 for £3.50 so no way of knowing which may or may not glitch?

have you joined nectar adpoints ? You watch ads and they pay you in points. Some weeks as much as 250 points (takes no time at all)

I put in claim for C/bingo and its just been credited to TCB. Its confirmed not payable yet.

Saw this and just checked mine. It's there:D Also just had a phone call from Tosco about my receipt from the 13th Feb (which wasn't going to show anything:o) and they've finally admitted that the old system is broken and they can't retrieve anything. Full letter of apology on its way and a £15 giftcard:T
