    Just nipped to the local T express. I forgot to buy bananas this morning. There was a shelf with some RTC wines on. It was mostly empty except for some low alcohol wine (in the same category as decaf coffee IMO.....pointless :D)
    But there was bottles of Codorniu vintage cava, both Rosado and White for £5.49. It's usually £10.99 so a very good price. Especially if you're partial to this stuff, like me :D I was on foot, so I relieved them of what I could carry.
    It's actually quite surprising how many bottles of Cava one small person CAN carry when the need arises :D:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Just been looking through my shopping results more thoroughly.

    Meant to highlight this one....
    4 x ASDA Ginger Beer (1L) £5.50 £1.50

    Note, if you buy 4 it compares to less at T's. I got 2 for myself and 2 for my Dad, so I hope it's nice! :p

    Also, not sure where this price match came from, i'm a little puzzled by it actually. Anyone know where this comparison comes from? I thought I was gonna get them compared 3 for £10, but looking now, that appears to be against S's, so I put them in the wrong pile of shopping against T's, but it's a good job I did. ;)
    3 x ASDA Butcher's Selection Whole Chicken (1.35Kg)£12.00 £9.30
    And the A's chickens I got, were all actually just over 1.5kg, but still fell into the £4 each price size.
    :D:D:D

    IDF I'm sorry that I've not posted until now, i read your post while I was at car boot this morning and didnt have any broadband when I got home, and wanted to post you an individual reply

    I'm sorry to hear that your son had this diagnosis. Through work, I come across a lot of people who have them found incidentally, while being scanned for something else.

    There are many, many different types of brain tumour, varying in severity. That's not to say that it's not horrible to find out that one has any type of brain tumour, but its hopefully reassuring to know that they aren't all so devastatingly harmful.

    I hope and pray for you both that its a benign tumour. However, if its not, if there is anything that the Elite can do for you, please don't hesitate to let us know xx
