  • peas in the pod OMG havent done that for years used to do it with my cousin we used to eat my nana and bampis peas lol :o

    Best bit is the pod, washed and with the inside skin removed, great for a crunch in salads!:T

    Just opened a box of my 1p Jacob's Savoury Favourites.

    I have one compartment totally empty :eek:

    Box was fully sealed and no broken biscuits or crumbs present - just 1 empty compartment.

    Is a complaint taking it a bit far?

    What do you expect for 1p :rotfl::rotfl:

    Complain you should get a £5 voucher :D

    I would :o

    I also recently took back whoopsied strawberries and got them refunded and replaced with a full price fresh pack because one was mushy (under A's refund and replace freshness guarantee :money:)

    Well I certainly wasn't 100% satisfied :rotfl:

    i agree there is something speacil for kids to be able to pick and eat things from the garden no one in my house likes peas but i grow loads and they never make it to the house the boys and oh are picking them and eating as soon as they are ready they also eat the cherry toms and mixed lettuce leaves in the garden and a lot of the fruit

    Someone told me you could eat the pods off young broad beans.I might try it this year.Has anyone else tried this?

    Just seen the j20 mocs mentioned - please can I ask when are they valid until?

    By my calculations they are still working out more expensive than buying a litre of juice - is this correct? Is J20 proper juice and not a juice drink?

    mind you now most weeks I
    am the only juice drinker in the house so when I open a one litre carton it lasts me 4 days which is really too long open. if I switch to J20 bottles though OH will probably start drinking them though


    the j20 (4 pack) at tesco is £4.29 but reduced to £2.14 until tomorrow. i cut the top bit of the coupon off to save printing ink and printed 6 to a page. i've just been and got 6 j20 (4 packs) for (6 x £2.14 = £12.84 - £6) £6.84 - but you need to be a bit cheeky as the coupon does say not to be used with any other coupon. on busy check-outs they dont seem to have the time to read everything :)
