    Trying not to be beaten with the wine have done another C&C different store see how I get on. :o

    Did you get yours ok TM?

    Yes I got it fine TS. Notice too that some others have had subs for less:D

    Just had a lovely hour or so down the field. I've been unlucky growing sprouts for years. The first year they were beautiful. Huge stalks of little sprouts and I gave most away to neighbours on a Christmas Eve. Since then it's been a waste of time growing them....can't keep the cabbage white off them and I don't want to make a cage of any type So I've just transplanted them into the greenhouse:rotfl: I have some flags up inside the greenhouse and I've just put then straight into the ground along the full length of the greenhouse. Will be interesting to see how they do:)

    Right my picnic calls.

    Should I wear a maxi dress and pretend I'm in the Cadbury Flake advert?

    What's the best thing to do with the wine order (apart from let DH drink it! That's not what I mean :D)
    Should I tick no subs? I don't want to end up with a dozen bottles of something cheap and nasty he won't drink.
    Or is it better to let them sub and then decide the sub they've given me is not what I wanted? I won't be home when my order gets delivered so am relying on DH to accept it.

    I have given them until early Monday to get some in stock. ;)

    But have suggested another Finest Red would go down nicely. :whistle:Hope you don't mind me asking were you particular with your subs? :o

    I have decided maxi dresses are bees knees. :D I treated myself to a Wallis one other week, first ever I have owned, usually way to long but they do petite. :T

    Thanks, bubbs.

    Dad a bit better but think I'll have to take him back as his hand has bled again and the padding/bandages are really soaked through.

    DGS is doing ok and I think, on the quiet, that he's enjoyed the attention at his new school.

    Just spoke with DGD who's on the Eurostar en route to Paris. She told me that 1D were in Paris last night and today so OMG, Nanny, I'm in the same city as Niall!! lol. She will certainly be 'OMG'ing' it tonight when she is given her concert ticket. :j:j:j

    Oh how amazing for her :T

    I can just imagine the tears and hysterical screaming :rotfl:

    I just had subs accepted but no special instructions on my first order that I declined as picker only picked 2 bottles that were in the 2 for £8 offer not finest. :(

    This time I have been more specific. ;) But it could still go t*ts up as there seems to be no rhyme or reason what people are getting or what they are charged if subs are made. :eek:

    I ticked subs but I guess I was lucky that the wine is in stock. If it was cheap stuff that was subbed I would just refuse it

    It does seem to vary by store and what mood the person picking the order is in. Hopefully you get someone that reads the notes you've left. Did you suggest you'd like it subbed with a bottle priced £7.99 or more? :D
    I've just gone back into the order and checked the no subs box. I don't trust DH to get it right :rotfl:
    I used the wine on DH's new account to get it over the £60 spend so I could use the £15 off.
    Would be such a shame if they can't find the wine, I wonder what happens to the £15 off :think: :)
