Got this tea for 92p in a superstore today. Comes in a nice little tin would make a good present at Christmas time.

thanks for this - I will have a look out, buying tea is another obsession.
Was it on the shelves or on the reduced section?

The 50p is for Tesco cafes - I wonder how this will work as Tesco don't run a lot of their own cafes - mine has a Costa, - I think Chester city centre is the same, Stafford Caf! was a franchise ...

The pint of milk will be good, we struggle to get through a 4 pinter in a week unless we have visitors

Oh yes of course. Ours is a Decks but they do have an offer at the moment of a free sundae worth £1.75 when you spend at least £3 there so may do that sometime.

Also received a free £10 from Tesco Bank for having an account with them . Well it was a voucher for £10 when you also spend £10.

Hate it when vehicles ride through large puddles and wet you through.

You will look very nice when you see TJ

Need a rant - Last year we were burgled and 3 lap tops were stolen one new and obsolete. Long story short apprehended 3 individuals and a dog! Laptops retrieved but kept by Police for forensics. Scene of Crime Officer came out immediately and got DNA and fingerprints connecting them to inside my house and laptops - so they couldn't just say they found them in the street.


Also this prompted a search of their homes where a lot of other stolen items were recovered from unresolved cases over the past year. Thought Police were fantastic - kept me informed as case went through Court System. Now one of the burglars is under 18 and was dealt in the Youth Court and is now under the Youth Offending Service and as part of the Restorative Justice process, I have been asked what I would like the Offender to do. All I want really is a face to face apology which I thought would be simple to set up. Oh no, so far I have had to endure a 90 mins phone call, then a 2 hr home visit where they wanted me to sign papers agreeing to this, that and the other. Now after another hour on the phone - they want me to attend a conference where they will ask me questions in front of the offender about my feelings etc as they feel that is the best way forward. What a waste of my time and public money. Typical Social Services - told them to stick it. Last laugh was they asked if I would put that in writing!


OMG I have done a mhoc LOL. Feel better now!

what were the other alternatives he could have done for restorative justice? I think I would have asked for him to do a litter pick on the motorway

I am passing the Rant Baton along - if anyone needs to let vent do so.

Strangely I don't have much to rant about - everything seems to be going along nicely, I seem to be in that rare space between crisis at the moment.
Yes I'd like the weather to be warmer but so would we all.
Yes the household excel charts is looking very deflated, car insurances cost over a thousand (4 car multipolicy) but I do get eldest sons portion back next week on payday.
I've got to make decisions about booking weekend breaks and using the !!!!!! cc deals but these are the nicer sort of problems.

apart from that all is right with the world :j

Rhos - Fantastic News! Dippy - Glad you have got some peace and quiet now and that poor dog is now safe and no longer hungry poor mite. Bubbs how is your OH today, you need to take care of yourself too - so make sure you do!


Toying whether to turn heating on - cos so cold, just shoved cosy dressing gown over my clothes for the mo!


Just realised done nothing but moan today - not like me I'm usually a happy bunny!

It was on the shelves with the other RTC tea/coffee reductions, they do seem to be bit different each store, no teas were reduced in the Extra yesterday morning. They also had large packs of Tea Pigs Morning Glory, I know it's nice tea but £2.50 down from £10 is still too expensive for 50 bags to me.

Oh and their was another Finest Single Origin but it didn't come in a tin that was 92p for 50 bags too. Orange/black packaging. Don't know if that is any help. I didn't buy it as got some Assam from As couple weeks back.
