    My OH calls them wicklows? I never knew they had a name :rotfl: I also use BS either hemp or almond. Preferably almond as the hemp one smells dodgy! but I use if I can get it free

    We call them willy wicklows! Try buying some of the cheap cotton gloves they sell in the £ shop slather your fingertips in the hemp and go to bed in them. I know the hemp smells funny but you won't smell it under the gloves

    Malcolm Allan steak pie 700gms £4.24 , 4 Scotch Pies x 2 £1.69 each
    till took off 3 for 2 -£1.69 and 2 for £2,50 - £1.68

    Thanks to fosters


    This was last night and in Tosco, looks like it could be Scotland only

    I think if still working and you bought 6 packs of scotch pies it should come to £1.72 if still working.

    You can eat the stuff weeks out of date, once it grows colonies it is time to throw it out. My DD asked why her yoghurt had flowers growing on it when she was little! Looked quite pretty really. :eek:

    Oh no lol. I just thought that with yogurts having live things in them that it might not be wise to. I did eat one about 2 weeks old the other day and I had a bit of stomach ache after but might just have been coincidence but I don't usually get stomach ache.

    I must keep thinking I have 5 to buy for when there s only 2 now and I always have too much food in. Better than nothing in though I guess

    So is there a kind and wonderful person who could possibley type out a quick summary

    name of mag and its issue date
    coupons - items, value, expiry date

    Possibly also a cover photo.

    Are they on pdf, if yes, then I'll give it a go.

    Does anyone know of any hand creams that can sort out those fiddly little skin tears on the ends of fingers? I'm getting bored of snipping them off with nail cutters everyday and it's agony when they catch in gloves/clothes. Thanks in advance. :D

    When washing dishes I always slather my hands in whatever hand cream is around and wear rubber gloves, it may help with the whitlows too.
