    And mangoes? I know they have a stone but no idea how you peel one :think:


    Easiest way with a mango is cut it in half with a sharp knife length ways similar to how you would cut an advocado...dont peel it


    Take the stone out the middle then you can score the flesh into squares and flip the skin back and eat....in a similar way to cutting up a melon quarter if that makes sense

    So these smelly skewers I know they are still free but was wondering how much it costs to top them up.

    Started here http://naturesnurtureblog.com/2013/05/17/homemade-air-fresheners-reed-diffusers/

    1l sweet almond oil (carrier) £8.50 delivered
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Litre-Sweet-Almond-Oil-Pressed/dp/B007MCXGO6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1404496319&sr=8-3&keywords=sweet+almond+oil

    Essential oil (smelly) about £1.50 for 10ml so about 200 drops and you need 10-15 per quarter cup of carrier oil

    Yes bored :rotfl:

    Just worked out the cake I planned to make would cost £10, have downscaled it to a pack of 6 eggs instead. I love baking but I'm on a budget!

    Just sat In morriescar park ... I was in store with two separate lots of fruit when a lady came up to me and said are you using the vouchers ... So I said yes and she said well if you do t want to buy all fruit she said just buy one item and you can spend the rest on what you want !! They said they had an email to confirm earlier as they had lots asking so I just bought a bunch of banns as and spent the rest on normal shopping :) hth :)

    Not sure if already mentioned but the expiry date on the M&S voucher on the GR website is now 31 August:T

    Another question. Has anyone successfully used the sun coke zero coupon from the Internet? I used the one out of the actual paper, but haven't tried the online voucher. Thanks in advance.

    I've used several of the printed coke coupons with no problem at all. :)
