Agreed. There is a 5 off 25 code for Amazon on the grabbit board if that helps at all. (Amex holders there's also a code for 5 off 20 which works at the same time).

Thank you!

Cllr Symonds sends thanks, too, as I was with her when I read this!

If we are doing vouchers, £10 M&S for £5 at bespoke offers (open to everyone not just barclaycard holders) is on again though no doubt will be sold out again by the time I am home to take advantage.

I can't believe Nice People are contemplating ways of killing me just because I don't like soggy bottoms! You wouldn't expect pastry at the bottom of a fish pie or shepherds pie! A pie is a pie! All that soggy pastry means less space for filling.

Since when did Shepherds pie come with pastry ?

It should be topped with mash and decent mash should contain loads (and I mean loads) of butter. 1 part butter to 4 parts potato - if you are on a diet.

I'm a lover of potato ... as it comes. I never used to add anything to it. Now I've started adding a tiny bit of salt and a splash of black pepper and a small knob of marg, just because it seems "the done thing", but I love the taste of plain spuds.... with lumps.

Big dog is not meant to gad about when her back is bad, obviously, but she stays near me or dh happily and we don't take her across the fields, so often don't bother putting her on a collar and lead till she is feeling better.

I can say happily she will have her collar on today, she's stretching and wagging her tail and wanted to go for a bit of a trot about. . So, she's more comfortable for now, . Phew. What a relief!

I was expecting there to be pages for me to catch up on, but there's just a few posts.

Anyway, I went to the work Christmas party mentioned on this thread a little while ago. It was fun and the food was great. Everybody's five quid went to a relief fund for the typhoon in the Philippines, so I was happy with that. Our organisers are pretty savvy about charities, and they will have done at least as good a job as I could have done in picking a reputable one, so I didn't bother asking lots of questions about it.

Nope, I've been sorting a business transaction this afternoon.

In other news, I have 100 tablets spare (brand new), in lots of 10 (£500). Not sure on quality, so won't ask the NP!

Yeah, but what he's not tell you is that they are paracetamol.
