    Morning everyone

    Ive got a non related shopping question and wondered if any of you fab cake cooks/bakers could help please??. Im making my son a sweetie cake to take into school for his birthday its basically marshmellows on a cake board in a circle shape divided by marshmellows into sections and filled with different sweets so here is my question what do i use to stick the marshmellows to the cakeboard???? I am thinking maybe melted choc or thick icing but i really have no idea .help please

    This might be a bit of a faff but I would use a sharp knife, lightly sprayed in oil, and then cut off the ends of the marshmallows, then stick them down on the board. They're very adhesive!

    Hope it goes well :D

    Thanks to the OP for the betting site cb. I played through my £20 on live casino and won back £19.20 along with the cashback a very profitable morning. Did anyone else find the live roulette a rather odd experience? My croupier kept scratching herself and darting her eyes sideways. It looked really furtive, I was glad I was only doing this once!

    I'm afraid it is likely you will only get the lower Cashback amount - these type of offers are generally based on which of their sites (casino, live casino, bingo, sportsbook, arcade) you sign up through for a new account and first meet the qualifying criteria.

    The new account offer is on one of them, so if you qualify on casino you cannot then get a new account/sign up to live casino as the same account login works for all.

    Sorry - you should qualify purely based on your efforts but unfortunately that is unlikely to come into it.

    In which case, I'll get nothing at all:(, as I didn't play £30 for the 'normal' lower CB amount casino but only ever £20.
    Or maybe I'll get the full amount as therefore the one that first met the criteria was the live casino.

    Oh well, I will have to be more careful in future (I thought I already was with these sorts of things but will need to be even more so in future).

    "Pasta sauce with as much sugar as a Mars bar and soup as sweet as cider: We reveal how much of the white stuff is lurking in your favourite foods"

    Sensational journalism me thinks! I am unlikely to eat a whole jar of pasta sauce - and apparently an Apple has 4.5 cubes of sugar, a Mango 9 and a jar of pasta sauce 6 - which do we think is healthier for you? It just goes to show everything in moderation.

    No I did not notice that at all:rotfl::rotfl:.

    I never managed to catch up with the thread from yesterday. However, I did see this clever thing vs T (thanks OP). For once the mbuys on the right side of the comp.:rotfl: I like it that there is a trigger to get the A mbuy, that then doesn't show but you get an additional item and that then gets a T mbuy with all prices for A appearing at full price. This sort of permutation is attractive to me. I think it works out slightly more expensive than the Morries option, since you have to get the extra item (Raisin Bakes will do) and only get straight 10% off T's price for it. I then apportion the extra 90p amongst the four items for a bit extra cost on the Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes and the Moments although the Moments still work out quite cheap and the Raisin Bakes are at their best (10% off) price anyway, so not that bad.

    I like the Crunchy Nut corn flakes not being available in T and therefore the non-appearance does not lose anything as would have been non-comparable. Or - maybe if T start to stock them, at way high price:D but they continue to fail to show:rotfl::rotfl:! And the T mbuy is among other items and doesn't involve the Crunchy Nut CF:rotfl:.

    V expensive pears:eek: - but they appear to be the cheapest ones available in A at the moment, and I managed to get a 10% on them. "Offer" in T was showing as "Valid until 15/3/14", therefore flaming Tossco's threatening to ruin this and put them up to over £1.50:eek: (after weight adjustment) so I got out early. I now notice T's website still has them at 79p price but no longer says anything about Valid until today, so maybe they are now continuing at that price - or maybe they are about to shoot up in price in order to come back to the 79p price.

    Yes, CNCF plus two cereal bars v M is cheaper but there are only limited options in that deal vM (suits me though as still working through various cereal bars from previous głitches).

    It's Northern Ireland's way of taking part though:). I did want the Raisin Bakes - normally really expensive things so 90p isn't too bad. Plus it made the Moments available. I might even get a 'free' spoon on my CN corn flakes now:rotfl:. It's actually same price if you take the Raisin Bakes out of the calculation (but don't remove them from the shopping basket:eek:;)) and just treat it as those being 90p. Or, in fact, it's a penny more expensive:( as Coco Pops snack bars (vs M) are a higher individual price. But you could buy Coco Pops snacks, a Kellogg's Moments at £1.98 individual price and Raisin Bakes (plus the C Nut corn flakes) in the mix against T and get same (if you haven't already bought, or been able to buy, enough Coco Pops snack bars vs M). There's also the possibility of some Yoghurt Breakfast Granola instead of the Raisin or Choc Chip Bakes. The Breakfast Granola option gives more APG but that's only because paying £2.68 instead of £2.38 in the first place - ends up at same 90p net, and it doesn't seem as good as the Granolas aren't as big as the Bakes. Also the Granolas appear to be quite new on msm - so, care, have they even made it to the APG system yet?:think:

    I think the wrong one was certainly those SP cereal bars at their RTC 40p:( - unfortunately I had bought some of those (as they seemed better than McVities Medley's even on their glitch price from a couple of years ago) but the Coco Pops snack in vs M works out better. SP cereal bars back - after being 'cleared' they just reappear:doh:, so seems more a marketing gimmick and they are now up in price from 40p, that was really expensive - should have just waited for the Coco Pops:(.

    I've got the figure of £60.60 showing in my TCB account, so maybe that will come through after all - although I spent £43.10 of my own real money so not worth as much as what it should have been:(.

    Typical - the person who puts in more effort gets rewarded less:(. That's actually a wider thing that often happens in this society I've seen:rotfl:*. Oh well, fits in with the all-too-common pattern:rotfl::p, so never mind.:cool: (Not holding my breath for the £60.60, although at least my pattern of gambling:eek: shows I'm a genuine player!)

    *On this one, of course, it wasn't intended to be but it just worked out that way.

    I was laughing at the amount of effort you had put in at Betfair and then writing the post not the fact you may not get the CB :p

    Fwiw, Steak Bakes not comparing vs M yet (I don't expect them to for several months:(, although I think I did see the Sausage & Bean Bakes comparing?), but I shopped vs T so all was good. Apart from the fact they are not on glitch:(:rotfl: , but just something we need/use anyway. I think I've gone to frozen as worked out they are much cheaper than the 'fresh' Ginster's slices (:eek:they are dearest of all, and that's only from among the 'cheaper' often-on-offer products, haven't even looked at more expensive options than that). CBY (fresh) Steak Slice (180g) is currently vs Sains 2 for £1.50 (a little better than what S mbuy has been previously?) - but is still more expensive (after APG) on weight than the Steak Bakes option vs T. You have to buy two anyway - as there are two steak bakes in a single pack.

    SP Shaving Foam also currently N/A vs Morries, fwiw, Avs T 26p vs 26p. Only slowly reappearing in M it seems. It seems the A SP product is also not available in several of my As - only found it in one main store, perhaps it is disappearing - who knows? If it is, then doubtless to be 'replaced' by more expensive CBY version only available from now on in:(:(.:rotfl:
