    Luisa drives me mad too - she has such an irritating tone of voice and is too patronising for my liking. I watched last weeks last night on sky plus. Who would sell £20 ceramics on a market stall?? Myles was right to go.
    The bigging up is the best part "i am superhuman when it comes to business yaddah yaddah yaddah.... " he he.

    I've been doing an AvM pizza list and a TvA list (good job my boss is out :rotfl:). Think ill do A cos i then have time to go home and deposit them in my shiny new freezer in the garage:j

    Talking of "you're fired", s'pose i should do some work :rotfl:

    Later gators

    Shame on you, using your work time to write a shopping list and post on here.
    Wouldn't catch me doing that kind of thing :rotfl::rotfl::D

    Went on the hunt for Cadbury Caramels this morning in my local extra. Found one empty outer box that would have contained 6 packs, all gone. :( No empty shelf space, so guess the 6 was all that were there.

    I did find a sealed box containing three rolled up clipstrips of Jelly belly sours :j

    However they scanned at over £1 a pack :eek:

    Theres still around 40-50 tubs of the twiglets, and mini cheddars there if anyone needs some (Scamps?) they were scanning a 50p when I tried them 3 days ago.

    I found the jelly bellys today and they scanned at £1.65 :mad:
    I guess some of us just aren't that lucky with our timing for these 1p finds. My store had the £3 label out but no stock left :(

    Rhosynbach - there's only so much rhubarb crumble a girl can take. I'm liking the sound of rhubarb and strawberry jam and have an as yet unused sugar thermometer gift from Mothers Day. Can you share the recipe (apologises if you already have)....


    i agree about the rhubarb crumble my recipe is a bit of a cheat as i used silverspoon powdered pectin i do both ways but find without you have to boil for a lot longer and get far less jam as it boils away i find using the pectin everything stays fresher and some of the fruit stays in pieces, also weights are always rough with me as never do anything exact but with all my jams try to do equal amounts sugar to fruit :p

    500g rhubarb
    500g strawberries
    1kg sugar
    1 sachet pectin
    knob butter

    dice rhubarb cook in a little water until just tender then add halved strawberries allow to cool slightly before adding the sugar and pectin stirring well. heat gently until sugar dissolved stirring then add butter turn up heat get to rolling boil for 4 mins take of heat and check set if ready pour into sterilised jars in seal if not boil for another 1 min then recheck

    i have used the same recipe but no pectin and used some lemon juice then cook for longer using jam themometer to get to right temp but check the set before jarring

    Right enough lurking on here for the day.
    I better get on and do housework.
    First job, to clear all the receipts stacked all over the fridge from cashback, wombles and MOCs (I may be some time!)

    I'm watching the apprentice final 5 from last night (I think they moved the program as it wasn't on when I expected :( )
    Am I the only person who thinks none of them deserve to win? :D


    I watched it last night but thought I was being a miserable so and so thinking that :D
