    :rotfl: 'ello.

    Not made them before, but I would use this recipe: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/pretzels_71296

    Elaine if you do use this recipe, when the pretzels come out of the oven give them 1 minute to cool, then coat in cinnamon sugar (I use about 60% golden caster sugar to 40% cinnamon). Just be prepared for it to take 3 hours! Let us know how it goes :)

    Afternoon all :wave:
    Thanks PD. I made them using this recipe as made them this morning.

    I subbed half of the water for milk as thought they needed it. They were nice but heavier than the bought ones. Good fun making them. Think I should have used more cinnamon.

    Hi Peeps!
    Just a quick update on my sains shop. May be helpful for cat owners?
    Bought the Felix, 12 a box. Bought x3, got bm as asda cheaper and 7 back from clicksnap! Yay!
    I actually did it twice and added in some pepsi max and nappies so got 9.35 off one shop and 7.85 off another, plus the 10p off petrol (saving 4 quid), plus the 14 back.
    I know it's not glitchy but was pleased it all worked out!
    I'm now a little disappointed that they'll be changing their policy as 20 is easier to achieve than having to get 10 comparable. Boo hiss.��

    But they're "making it easier" (according to them):D. With 10 diff. items (whatever it is that is going to 'qualify' that we don't yet know) you're actually likely to be spending less to get a BM - whereas £20 with £10 BM still leaves you paying them £10 (or actually, still leaves you paying £20:(, with a commitment to spend another £10 with them in order to use the BM voucher they 'gave' you back - or, didn't 'give', you paid £20 for it).

    I was actually a little disappointed at not getting two diff. cond.spends off a £20 shop. Would have been fantastic if I could have had a £20 shop with 2x £3 off, so pay £14 then £10 BM back (didn't need to be ten diff. items)... and, then, because policy changing, I could have just got 10 diff. items items on shop on or after 2nd June to use that £10 BM, not having to spend any more, and had a further £5 BM back as comparables on half price elsewhere or something. Best laid plans... Oh well, paid them nothing at all instead, as they didn't up their offers enough for me.:D

    Now, if I ever chance lucky with two cond.spends off a £20, I will have to buy 10 different items:(, rather than just two or three that could have made £20 but been £10 cheaper in one of A or T.

    Dissatisfaction either way - lovely eh?:rotfl::rotfl:
