Black Friday hits the local FB selling pages :rotfl:
'Seen so many of the Tesco tvs *Blauplunkt 32" LCD TV* for sale on here today for more than the £99 that people have paid for them. Seen them for £120 and upwards, shouldn't be allowed as its blatantly asking for more than what was originally paid for it!'0 -

I have done a shop, the app lets me scan the barcodes, then lets me take a pic, but when it comes to "submit", u usually get the red circle thing going round..... mine wont budge, i have tried turning my phone off and trying again but keeps doing the same thing.

I am frightened to ask which you are agreeing with the water or the dress. :eek:
Just been naughty and ordered 2 bottles of Rubis chocolate wine £16.99 on Amazon lightening deals.
Me and Dodo thought we got a good deal 2 for £20 at IDH, we had one each.
I must make sure I gift the two I have ordered. :eek:

If you will consider pre-owned then Cash Converters tend to be good for consolesfairclaire wrote: »I think the recipe varies from region to region. I actually know this despite never having 'cooked' anything proper in years :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Ours was simple because we didn't own scales.
1 tin of condensed milk
2lb bag of sugar
Whole block of butter
few drops of vanilla essence
put it all in a pan at once and bring to the boil. Turn down to simmer. It's ready to put in trays when you put a teaspoon full in a cup of cold water and it turns to the consistency of soft caramel
ETA forgot to add to grease the tray
Good evening, I have a different recipe,
tin of evaporated milk (most of the tin never really measured it)
half pack of butter (real butter only)
2lb sugar (not a whole bag at 1kg)
melt it all and bring to boil, simmer until a darker shade and sets on a cold saucer, as has been ssaid the beating at the end is very important, and remember it may take a few trys to get it right:)The person who never makes a mistake never learns anything.0 -

I agree. We collectively send people with a bad cough to see their GPs. Where they can get bank switching advise and save themselves a fortune

Sorry Karlie
