Is the £4.00 wine any good? If so, what is it and where from?

It was this one from Morris0ns and yes, it was lovely for £4. Not sure I'd pay £9 for it, I remember when it was £6 (10 years ago when Mrs E and I first met).

Tesco Cotes de Gascogne is pretty good at £4.50

OMG! The sun is out! I have a barbecue! Spontacue!

Rushed to Mr M and picked up instant light charcoal, some tongs, a few beers and various foodie items.

This will sound immensely sad, but I am so ridiculously excited to be having my first barbecue in my *own* back garden :j

Ali-OK

Long time lurker coming out to join you in BBQ joy!

Just bought one this week - must be 20 yrs since last owned one and DS has taken on Chef duties!

Enjoy that garden

BBQ all wrapped up in just over an hour, missing the rain by approximately 1 minute!

Sausages, bargainous chorizo and various salads enjoyed greatly. Lovely to sit outside with Mrs E and discuss all the stuff she expects me to fix in the garden :eek:

Hi re Axminster carpets - I got mine from here although they do not seem to have much Axminster at the moment - I saved £3,000 even with delivery to Scotland compared to local shop prices for lounge and 2 bedrooms -but maybe your source is as cheap?

Thanks re. wine, though it says £6 online? The closest Morrisons is 15 miles away from us, though Mrs K works close to one so I may tell her to pick a bottle up and we'll try it. This reminds me, a long time ago someone on here challenged me to find wine for £5 per bottle, wasn't very successful to be honest. At the time I used to drink everyday and spend a lot on wine, not even had a drink for over three weeks now.

Mrs P: You've brightened my day re. Gascoigne. :rotfl:

Ed: Not sad at all re. BBQ. Don't envy your upcoming garden work, though. :rotfl:

Goodness gracious - were you carpeting a castle?! :eek:

If we carpeted our *entire* house, it would come to just under £3,000 ordering direct from Axminster (underlay and carpet).

It is £6 for most people, I got lucky and found an accommodating sales clerk who couldn't ring it through the till, so put it through manually at £4 :j

Tell me about it... I think I'll need 500kg of postcrete for the new fence alone!

BBQ cleaned, tomorrow's dinner cooked, dishwasher on, time for a bath and a clean shave
