    Hope you can make the meet tweets. I have been lucky enough to go to several continental ones (my sisters and I love them) and got to say Manchester is pretty close to the 'real thing' imo. Its lovely walking round looking at the different foods & smelling the smells. :) If you do go and you see some large potato round things, you have to try them. The Germans serve them with apple sauce - sounds gross but they are really yummy.


    I will try my best to go if work doesn't get in the way.

    I like the sound of the potato things and love apple sauce. :)

    I finally gave in today and had a bit of a play with the 3 for £10 Xmas choccies.

    All my purchases were successful until I tried with the Ferrero cones. Sel said £5.63, shelf said 3 for £10, till said £5. Paid £15 and went to CS to query. CS said Ferrero not in offer and was so nice I didn't want to argue.

    Swapped the cone for the whisky collection, got a £5 refund and a £6.40 apg. All good, however for some reason the cone is not in the offer in my A?:huh::huh:

    I got the Ferrero cone and two shortbreads today (not for APG) and they cost £10. How odd about the cone.
  • Just wondering if this could be ordered for c & c for tomorrow using the new customer £15 voucher code along with other stuff and then take it back as it was the wrong one ordered :o

    The bramley apples compared very well yesterday against Waities.
    Nothing is comparing today.

    :mad::mad:

    Yes, Bramley is/was v.v. good and was what I intended to get. No idea why no comps. - now, am I going to go through every item on the wombles vs W on msm.co.uk?

    First womble..no use (as predicted). Least worse comp. is below, in case anyone wants to check what W should be on every item:D:rotfl:.

    Is your microwave one of those combination ones? Can you cook joints etc in it, and it browns?

    I always think it's a waste putting on the oven for something small, and only have an 'ordinary' microwave.


    Yes it is. It does everything.:)

    I think you need to drop in that you want a large diamond ring (or something similar) for your next Autumn present

    Oi cheeky :D:D

    Right of course, Leeds centre is better but not been for a while

    I got severely traumatised in Leeds :eek::o trying to get off the ring road :D:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I drove round the bleeding thing so many times I was nearly in tears, I was really late for the job I was going to and I honestly thought I'd be there until it was dark just driving round and round :o:o:o:o

    This was a few years back so I can :D now, but at the time...:eek::rotfl:
