Morning everyone

Big thank you DeeDee and sfsb for the pop glitch :beer: :beer: Don't usually buy these products because of price, but it is great to have some bottles tucked away as treats for the kids, especially with the Easter hols coming up :j

And big thanks aau for the first post. Fantastic to have as much clear info as poss in the first post as not everyone is registered to post and some who are do not feel comfortable posting just to ask questions, so this all helps as many people as possible access money- saving :beer::T

T.com pp pretty much the same as in store. Couple of points - pp is e-mailed within 24 hours, but usually overnight between 2 -3 am.

Big advantage T over A is that in-store pps can be used online and vice versa.

Big (and important) difference A and T is that A apg usually based on items ordered, not sub's, whereas T compares on products actually delivered, so a sub can really mess things up unexpectedly.

Off to London to be a tourist for a couple of days :j. All thanks to you folk here and this site :A. RSH tickets, free entry vouchers, BMS, apgs and pps in my purse for food. Really appreciate all the posts on here that enable such a trip to be put together so cheaply :T:T

Good morning all.

Aau Thanks for the new thread.

DM thanks for the old one with all its gliches

Scamps nice to see you back

For anyone interested in home improvements there is a cashback scheme called Green Homes. Scotland may be different but its open to tenants and owners, we have been advised to ask for a review on loft insulation, new led lights and heating controls but the full info is on the website. DH met someone who does this work and he thought I would have known. It only takes a couple of minutes to fill in the online form but the scheme closes for applications on 31 March but work can be up to 12 weeks later.

Enjoy your day

Morning everyone.

I desperately need some culinary advice please.

We have got visitors for dinner on Saturday night (informal, nothing posh) :T - one is a friend of my eldest and also her friend - they are staying locally so we thought we would have them around for dinner. But basically we have no idea of their likes or dislikes and we have only met the friend once so we are keeping the menu simple - no haute cuisine

One is a vegetarian which is not a problem as I don't eat much meat anyway so its 2 vegetarians and 2 meat eaters.

I thought maybe OH would do his shepherds pie from scratch and also something easy vegetarian for us 2 veggies but along similar lines

I wondered about getting a vegetarian pasta bake but looking at marks ones they all have meat in them. So I then thought of the lovely vegetable pasta bake in the Tesco dine in for a tenner meal.

What do the cooks on the group think?

Also what to go with things - garlic bread, side salad, some roasted sweet potatoes, parsnips etc - ?????

Then there are the desserts. I want to make a choice of puds in advance, ideally 2 - things I can warm in the microwave or cold desserts.

My initial thoughts are rhubarb and ginger crumbles in small ramekins - would these be OK if I made them today - I could at least make the crumble mix and put it in the fridge. But I was also trying to think of something chocolate, maybe a mousse but I don't want to do anything with uncooked eggs.

I suppose 2 meal deals is the easy solution but that seems too lazy and I want at least part of the menu to be home made from scratch. But I suppose I could do 2 lasagne, one veggie and one not plus garlic bread and roast vegetables plus homemade desserts

Nigella would have no problems sorting this out ...
