    Look out for these in Farmfoods. They are dated BB 18/1/14 and 19p a pk. On normal shelf.

    Wow. That's a bargain. These are normally 79p at Quality Save / Home Bargains!

    Well done to everyone that got all the gift set bargains. I won't get chance to get to a Tosco until Saturday, no doubt everything will have been cleaned out by then! But hey ho, probably for the best.

    Evening :)

    Scamps, glad to hear you have a couple of things sorted out. More importantly that you found your electricity and gas thingys. I don't know what they are :o but I gathered that you need them.

    My building work is already turning into a bit of a mare :( Im having to have a floor ripped up that I wasn't expecting.....one that has already been beautifully tiled :(
    Since Ive got a crazy mixed up (but it works) heating system that's on the 'to do' list, it has been decided that we'd be as well having a new heating system installed whilst we have all the disruption going on. More mess, muddy footprints and freezing coldness because there will be no heating :o On the plus side.....another step closer to having a normal house :T:T

    I feel your pain FC, having builders in breaks me out in a sweat. :eek:

    I am not looking forward to the inevitable work that will be done here once mum's bungalow is sold. Mr TS has so many ideas. :(

    I love having building work done (remind me of this when I have been living on a building site for a year!)

    What is a Scarborough warning?

    Scarborough is a bit posh for this to be what I think it means?
