I'm a fluent German speaker.....went there at the age of 17 as an au pere and stayed for 3 years. German grammar is a nightmare :eek: however, if you only plan on conversational German I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you speak quickly enough no one knows if you said der, die, das, den, dem etc etc...:rotfl:
Good luck!

I did it up to GCSE German. They put their verbs at the end of sentences.

:eek:

'Hilfe! Schnell! Ein krakenwagen!'

'Gestern abend, ich habe meine hausaufgaben gemacht'

Glad you like the slow cooker apple chutney:T

In my slow cooker at the moment I'm making Blueberry Plum Butter; 3 punnets of blueberries, 4 or 5 plums halved and pitted, puree together in food processor, put in slow cooker on high for one hour, then low for six hours with lid slightly ajar to allow steam to escape, stir in 2 cups granulated sugar and juice/zest of one lemon (or a good glug of lemon juice), on high for one hour, puree again with stick blender if you want it really smooth, and it's ready. Simples!

Then that's the last of the Morribobs fruit in the fridge, thankfully ... I was getting a bit fed up with some of the prep work, but kept chanting my mantra 'Free food! Free food!':)

Tesco sell green tomatoes

and I'm pretty sure that the newer, posher Morribobs do (the ones with the vapour wafting over the fresh herbs); Waities probably will, as well; if not all the supermarket larger stores. Also, good high street grocers would, or get them for you if you asked.

Flip, I hope it is lovely after this amount of hours of prep!

Piriton is sold in most local chemists.

They may have the generic version which is called 'chlorphenamine'; these come in 4mg tablets. Piriton is the brand name of 'chlorphenamine' but usually 2 x the price.

So how is it actually meant to act?

I was surprised that there is a dog version - the anatomy if a dog being very different to a humans

Afternoon everyone

Thank you for your help earlier. Got the APG from my click and collect shop and managed to keep it below 50.00 pounds

One thing I can not work out though is that the Glade sparkling floral was 4.00 pounds in my store but does not show at all on the APG. Has this happened to anyone else please ?

Mark Twain on the German language:

"The Germans have an inhuman way of cutting up their verbs. Now a verb has a hard time enough of it in this world when it's all together. It's downright inhuman to split it up. But that's just what those Germans do. They take part of a verb and put it down here, like a stake, and they take the other part of it and put it away over yonder like another stake, and between these two limits they just shovel in German."

"A dog is "der Hund"; a woman is "die Frau"; a horse is "das Pferd"; now you put that dog in the genitive case, and is he the same dog he was before? No, sir; he is "des Hundes"; put him in the dative case and what is he? Why, he is "dem Hund." Now you snatch him into the accusative case and how is it with him? Why, he is "den Hunden." But suppose he happens to be twins and you have to pluralize him- what then? Why, they'll swat that twin dog around through the 4 cases until he'll think he's an entire international dog-show all in is own person. I don't like dogs, but I wouldn't treat a dog like that- I wouldn't even treat a borrowed dog that way. Well, it's just the same with a cat. They start her in at the nominative singular in good health and fair to look upon, and they sweat her through all the 4 cases and the 16 the's and when she limps out through the accusative plural you wouldn't recognize her for the same being. Yes, sir, once the German language gets hold of a cat, it's goodbye cat. That's about the amount of it."

Read his essay 'The Awful German Language' for more of the same

Having £100 physically in your purse - cash, MOCs, APGS, BMs, TPPs, conditional spends etc - it really helps focus you so as little as possible is going out if your purse and you can make sure your receipts and purse tally up.

But you also really need a 'store cupboard fund' of say maybe £20. This is the fund you use to buy the must have bargains. For instance Sainsburys have masses of different variants of sauces and pizza toppings reduced to 20p right now so you buy a selection of say 16 of these for £4 - put them in your larder with 20p in marker pen written on the lid. Each time you get one out of the cupboard you put 20p from your purse back into the 'store cupboard fund'

My intention is that it would have to come out of the £100, or in A/T use an APG/PP and the actual cost difference to be taken out of the purse


I went to Sainsbury and only managed to get 3 x of the tomato puree and chilli x

In a human, Piriton acts as an anti-histamine. Histamine is produced by the body in allergic-type reactions. This can be in hayfever, dust allergies or even life threatening anaphylaxis. Histamine also causes itching. Piriton stops the formation of histamine.

I'm a doctor, not a vet; so couldn't possibly comment re: how it acts on dogs.
