    Hi peeps :hello::hello:
    Not long back from shops, got the burgers with 4 grapes x 2 colours,1brussel sprout, onion x 2 colours and some chocolate bars. That gave DH a laugh when he was packing them away!!
    Thanks to OP and all that answered my questions about the correct ones to get.

    Went to marks for 2 lots of food with vchrs...got a good haul for my money spent. Again thanks for all lists that have been posted especially tiger for the £4 shop (you certainly know how to shop them vchrs)

    On my 2nd shop I bloom!n pressed pay before the vchrs were deposited and stood there thinking OH NO!!:wall: So, I had to shout on the wee lovely smiling guy who's there quite often and he messed about and said 'there you go carry on that's it back'. Phew...carried on with another good shop of goodies!:T


    I'm thinking of making some meat balls with the burgers just adding some onions and herbs then freezing for a later time., has anyone tried this and how did they turn out????

    Anybody got any ideas on what could be done with them???

    Thanks everybody :beer:

    It was totally shattering! A week of lectures, practicals, emergency drills and competency assessments :eek: I did myself proud though; managed to remember more than I expected and passed my tests with flying colours :D Hope I've not done too well and they think I can just get on with it now :cool:

    I should be asleep but DH is out and I'm enjoying a glass or two of wine now I can :) Have been asleep by 10 the last few nights. DS2 still teething and I haven't made it to my 6am alarm all week!

    Just finished making a congratulations card for one of my besties who finally had her baby at term+12 on Tuesday :D

    We often listen to the shipping forecast if we can't sleep, it's very soothing. I know it starts off with North Utsire and South Utsire (sp?) but don't know where they are on the map :o

  • I have a lot of trouble with the language, especially Russian. I have a place near Varna on the coast and Golden Sands, which is nearby, I can only manage on rare occasions.
    I really dislike Sunny Beach, but tell everyone thinking of going to BG to go there. Keeps them away from our lovely bits.
    Downside ...................... glitching will NEVER catch on there. LOL!
    LL

    Lol downside to Golden sands is it's all uphill to get to bed at night;) but i know some people from Varna and have heard nothing but good about it:) You don't need a glitch over there as it's so cheap, although i do get discounts in bars eating out etc in certain places ( i sold them to the owner lol) but for anyone thinking that u can just go and start a business in the sun forget it as it is !!!!! run and if u do not know the right people u will probably lose money so DONT.;)
    As for the language LL am the same i speak (malco) a little Bulgarian and russian but am not fluent and have been the same all my life after working in Spain, France, Germany and London as i still struggle with the accent down there. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    when peeps are doing these burger shops, are you using the PP from the previous day as part payment?
    If so, does the SA ever say anything?
    I always feel guilty handing over a big PP and receiving another one back from the same shop.

    Usually get the SA to "help me" as i'm not very good with SS machines :)
    May I second SSM?

    (sorry Frequent:o)

    Fine by me JB.

    So in the 1st pic Jb is in the woods.

    2nd pic in the hedge, which is where I was hoping to be, alas the mrs is asleep :rotfl:
    Back to square one, no apg, no comment.
