    I had not been proper whoopsieing for ages. Odd things here and there or have not waited for final reductions.

    Seems a couple of usual suspects have been barred. :eek: I alternate between 2 stores and I don't remember it being that civilised for a very long time, maybe it has got them worried. There were few things I managed to get hold of I would have really liked but asked them first as they were all so kind to make sure I got some chicken for DD2 to take back to uni.

    Wish it could be like that everytime. ;)

    Night strewth I really should get to bed with my trip in the morning. :o

    Safe journey, hope the weather is kind to you :)

    I don't understand tequila. I've never drunk any industrial solvents and yet tequila tastes and feels like that's the right description for it.
    I'll be the tequila messiah:A, and just say that you need to sample the good stuff:beer: ... not the muck you get in this country; and none of this tequila slammer and salt & lime nonsense
    My baking mojo is good
    Excellent:D I can sleep soundly tonight:)
    How are you? Good new year and all that? :)
    Very well, thanks for asking. I retrieved a family member from hospital in time for Xmas, so that was all well and good:D

    I've sampled some from Mexico (was staying half a mile away from the border at the time), still no :rotfl:

    Very nice :T

    I didn't mention this at the time, but when I went poppy picking I found a poppy that looked like 'lady parts', glad to see you didn't get that one :rotfl:

    Looks interesting:T Far East, return, for sub-£500.
    Did you book the flight, or were you just window-shopping?

    I can't sleep! So thought I may as well come back here as I'm awake anyway :rotfl:

    I didn't book, was just window-shopping to get an idea of price. And I've always wanted to go to Miami. What a great little tool though!
