Everything Leads Into The (new year) Elite thread

After 3 days in a row of eating Gammon for dinner, today finally got something else, lamb chops.
Still enough gammon for a couple of days snarnies though.
Cooked half in coke in slow cooker and the other piece in oven, both delish.
Given to me by a friend who got DTD on 3 joints, making them free, but CS made a copy of his receipt and took his clubcard number because he is 'cheating' Tesco out of money?
He;s only got DTD once before!

I'm loving all the foil containers with the M&S meals. I've built up quite a stash and saves on the washing up when you are roasting veg etc.:)

Doh! I got an apple pie out of the freezer yesterday - don't normally cook apple pies from that. I saw the instructions - they ended with "make sure you turn the foil round (rather than upside down)". Eh?, I thought, what foil? (They hadn't mentioned anything about "foil" until that point.) Got some Bacofoil off, now aware that the pie needed foil. Then I opened the pack and saw the pie was already in a foil tray inside:rotfl::rotfl:.

Another minor case of 'lost in translation'!:D

Their fault of course - they should have been clear from the outset!:rotfl:

Absolutely - I'm sure if you are in a lorry and being tailgated by a car, it's rather different to you than the other way round. Drivers of bigger vehicles sometimes forget the problems/dangers they cause to people in smaller ones.

The car that tailgated me was bad enough, in daylight.:( Eventually I found a lay-by by the side of the road, indicated, pulled in, then indicated and came out again, behind the problem driver.

I do this if I'm being tailgated in an unfamilar area...there is nothing worse having someone right up your harris if you are looking for somewhere....:mad:

Thank you, I've just downloaded it



I'm glad you've got contact now. I'm sure you've explained to her what happened and she understands.

My brother pulled her up today on her using, and allowing her 7 year old to use highly inappropriate language around, in front of and towards my nephew, he was met with "mind your own business". Well excuse us, but exposing a 10 year old to language like that IS his business :mad:

is your brother still with her QOC!?

This is for your Nephew:)

I worked it out - to see if my buying choices were cost effective. It's ten per cent off £2.94 (assuming you buy correctly vs T) for 500g. The SP Wafer Thin I get is 400g, but it's ten per cent off £1.50 (vs Sainsbugs) so works out far cheaper!

Hi all, long-time lurker, occassional poster (when I have something interesting to offer). You all seem really friendly but there are tmes when work is crazy and I worry about going offline sometimes.

Anyway, for the next few weeks things are a bit different. I had knee surgery on Wednesday and I'll be off work for four weeks (and stuck in the house as I cant drive and I live in a rural location with no bus service). Before I went under the knife I was following the M&S glitch but couldnt find the in-store vouchers. Anyway, I have one greenredeem M&S voucher but cant order any more as they're delaying despatch until 1st Feb due to 'problems' redeeming. I'm assuming you all chatted about this on Wednesday?

Anyway, would appreciate advice as to whether its worth buying the other M&S voucher off eBay (£1.50) given I'll only be able to do one shop. I'm not a ready meal buyer normally but they might help me in my current state

and so to just share a little about me, and finally pluck up the nerve to join in, I'm 40, married, no kids but an adorable rescue collie-cross, both are currently curled up on the sofa with me.

Thanks in advance

:hello: redfraggle

Hope your knee soon heals.

Sorry cant help with vouchers

Right, I think that's pushed my posts per day back up again:rotfl: (:rotfl: as it's not the reason I've been posting) - internet connection seems more continually available when phone line itself is totally kaput (in the literal sense!) - so I'd best be off! And they best fix that phone and broadband 'service' as soon as poss.!

Goodbye for now!!:):)
