Afternoon

Well my appointment to the opticians didn't go too well. My puff of air test was still too high so I'll have to have it checked out at hospital.
Hopefully something and nothing. He tested my peripheral vision which was fine, so that's a good sign.

David thank you for posting that Lancôme deal :kisses3: I reckon I should treat myself to cheer myself up

Hope you get it sorted

aau wants his !!!! kicking for that I thought he had sorted the first post :rotfl:
Someone explain a trigger I was and then figured it was going to be more confusing :rotfl:


A trigger does not show up on the apg system and if it is part of a multibuy as in 3 for £5 it means the other 2 items compare at full price .

Ah, that makes sense now, thanks! :T

I bought one of these, they're now cheaper than when I bought & they are AMAZING!

Chips come out perfect - I use just a 2-3 ml of the Flora cooking Oil (£1 for 500ml) and coat potatoes in a plastic bag. Found this was better than spray oil as you never need to add any more. Just turn chips once or twice. I start them off at 160C for 15 mins and then turn up to 180C for 10min. Might turn up to 200C for 5 min - depending on how many chips are in basket. Chips taste amazing, of potato not oil. Different varieties of potato taste different. My favourites at moment are Charlotte and Harmony (2kg for 55p in HB).

I've cooked small joints in there . Fish tastes FAR better than done in oven. Pies/pastries/bhajis etc. taste how they should. I'd buy another tomorrow if it went.

I have one of these as well, I'm going to try and do my chips like you do from now on, mine do taste nice but I wouldn't say amazing so maybe I am doing something wrong.

Have you tried anything else?

I don't have to go to the docs first. The optician faxed the referral whilst I was there so just got to wait.
And what have I just did? Broke my own golden rule and googled what tests they do at hospital for it :eek: I had to stop reading at .......They will use drops to numb your eyes first :eek: *shudder*

I buy their juicy tubes anyway so I might as well get a few freebies with them Yes the RRP is probably a bit inflated. There's always some sort of offer on this stuff, so it's rarely at full price.

Has anybody seen an actifry or similar device for sale at a decent price? I quite fancy one, and have done for a while, the steak has made me realise I still haven't invested .

I should have taken my mums when she offered it to me

Thank you

I don't know what the difference is but this one has done me 2 years & still going strong, chips, eggs etc & for what it is I'd rather pay £18 for a big standard one than £60 for a fancy one

If you're looking for sauce for the steaks, add 2 veg stock & 3 tsp French mustard to 1/2 pint of boiling water a quick stir & it's done. The best sauce for steak

Yes she would have referred him but as he was shocked said he wanted to think about it:o so nif he said yes right away guess he would have been seen by now as she said at the eye dept its only a couple of days from referral until you hear.
Guess thats what they will do to him, he HATES any form of drops in his eyes:eek::eek:
Good luck hope you get it sorted soon x
