    A5da Smrtprice Vanilla Cones (4x100ml)
    79p (vs S or T, and probably vs M too)

    An antidote for those buying the Nestle Cones (including me)?

    Are they as good though?

    Only worth buying cheap if the taste /quality is comparable:)

    Hi Tiny Shoes,

    Many thanks:T, its good to feel part of martins lovely family!!!
    Thank you so much for passing me your 4p shoe find a few weeks ago, unfortunately they were alittle too small for me so I have found them a good new home with a family member. :)

    :o:o:o That's ok, shame they did not fit you, the other pair were just right for DD3. :)

    Sorry last couple of times I bumped into you I was in such a rush, but you know why, perhaps a cuppa and a chat next time. ;)

    All my 3 kids were born abroad. I was working abroad but back here now.

    The interesting thing is: my kids are also British nationals thanks to me (ie Brit dad; but my wife is foreign, far cleverer than I am and holding a senior job here).

    But thanks to my kids being born abroad, if in due course THEIR kids get born abroad, those grandkids of mine will have no British nationality.

    So I assume your kids could have dual nationality if they wanted later in life ?

    Well I was stopped dead in the middle of my ironing, bloomin thing caught fire. :eek::eek::eek:

    Good job I did not offer to iron DM's shirts. :rotfl:

    Luckily OH was in the room and pulled the plug out sharpish. :A

    Anyway once I was over the shock of it all, I thought no problem, I have a few glitched irons stashed away. :) But I could not carry on as nothing to replace the iron board cover with, so an early trip to Ts on the cards now. ;)

    OMG! Scary! If you really wanted to carry on you could fold a spare sheet up and drape it over the ironing board, but me? I#d use it as an excuse to stop, I'd be in shock!

    So glad you're alright x

    Never tried them. Perhaps I ought to?

    (I know I won't go for Cadbury's DM again, after 'discovering' A S/P milk chocolate bars. But - look at the fat in them?)

    Gosh, I never knew that. Mind you UKIP are hopefully unlikely to ever get into power so it shouldn't be a problem ;)

    I was in shock, just looked at the flames. :o

    I like a nice tight fitting cover when I iron, that was something my mum always used to do use old sheets when she had burnt the covers, hated it. I am a fussy old mare. :rotfl:

    Hope it wasn't Dodo on a bad day. :eek:

    My folder was in date order. :D But haven't got on top of it again yet. No pizza or paroli ones yet. Dodo did send me the paroli but I have not got round to getting it to print more than one on a page. Something I should do instead of bilging on here. :rotfl:

    Haven't met Dodo yet, so wouldn't know if it was her. The lady was mid 20- mid30's, very pretty and smiles a lot.

    Had the last parioli passata from CL, hope they restock soon. Need a few more to go with the tomatoes. I am not into pizzza. Bilging on here is good for you.

    Glad that you're okay Tinyshoes, what a shock for you.
