    Ah thanks for clarifying. Hehe, I must have been reading in a hurry! I just assumed it was some kind of fish-finger Come Dine With Me! :rotfl:

    I will make sure to read the thing properly when they open for recruitment again :D


    The diverity of parties and what they send you can be a bit hit or miss...Ive done some good ones and also a few howlers.


    They arnt for everyone but if youve got some understanding friens who like a laugh then its a good afternoon/evening.
    I have to admit that sometimes you need to add bits and bobs to the party packs in order for it to make any sense to anyone but most of my friends and family and the boys friends love to just come round and see what has been sent each time.


    good parties have included the ironing party where we got to keep a steam generator and ironing board and were sent lots of cocktail mixers too....and the pamper party that was quite funny too...


    I'm not sure what to expect with the fish finger one but as its father day that weekend there will be lots going on in our house that day and quite a few willing family and friends to take part!

    Good Morning, havn't been around for ages apart from occasional lurking when I get a spare minute but thought I'd pop in and share my T's shop from this morning.

    For anyone with Steak vouchers I bought 3 different steak varieties in the 3 for £10 offer and the till (I used a hand held scanner) accepted three MOC's (the £4 and 2x £1) so 3 lots of steak for £2.84 as the steak mince compared to A's :D. I was targeting the rest of the shop to A's as their prices were cheaper for things I needed and there isn't an A near me, I also had a MOC for Fairy so the tablets cost £3.50 after PP.

    I also found 1p Malteaster bunnies :j I love these so well chuffed with those.

    Have a good day and I hope this helps :)

    I don't know how old the stain is so it's hard to know how to deal with it properly

    put a dry cloth over stain, put coaster on cloth. fill a glass with red or white wine (don't really matter) put on coaster. sit down beside it and drink wine. repeat several times and you wont be bothered about the stain any longer.

    well not till tomorrow anyway :p

  • Haven't had time to read through so don't know, but have you tried putting a disc in and seeing what options it gives you on the pop-up? (If this has been tried you can denounce me later :p) Just sometimes people don't try the most obvious thing. I had someone ring me up once, the MD of a local company, they had left him on his own in the office and he needed to send a fax. Anyway, he told me he had no dial tone on the line. My first reaction was to ask if it was actually plugged into the line, he went away to check and game back extremely embarrassed - it wasn't! Strangely enough it worked when he plugged it in :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Yes, I've done all that. No options work except to play the disc. I can't find 'rip' anywhere on any menu. Can find burn but that doesn't work when clicked on nowt happens. Windows 8 is just not at all logical, things appear to need to get done in a roundabout way, whereas previous versions I've had no problems with. Thought I'd mastered W8 but seems like every old thing you want to do, and could have done easily in previous versions, now triggers yet another learning cycle. :mad:Microsoft:mad:
