    Sounds like a good deal if you can make the most of it. :)

    Well my first copy of the Sun was purchased yesterday - looks like they're already well into their Thorpe Park free ticket promotion so I'm not sure I'll collect enough tokens in time for that. However there was a 2-for-1 voucher for all the Merlin attractions in there as well.

    Today's included the TV listings so that's saved me buying one of those separately - I know I don't need to get that but I usually do end up buying TV Choice which is 50p.

    And 50 extra lovely points i.e £2 deals already!! I will be saving these up for my Christmas statement whoop!

    I've been cleaning this morning and early afternoon - now going to catch up with diaries:T:T

    A can of DR Pepper,
    A cup of ketchup
    A cup of BBQ sauce,
    A shake of brown sugar

    mix and layer the chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker, cover with the mix then leave to cook for eight hours.

    the other way you can do it is to boil the contents till it gets thick then cover the chicken and bake, it caramelises and makes its crispy BBQ sauce.

    can also do the same with Diet Coke but doesn't taste as strong as there is less sugar in diet coke...
