    I checked mine from yesterday, one was May 2015, three are September 2015 and 20 are July next year.

    Just eaten the ood May one and it was very nice. Not enough for a meal by itself but I think they will go well with the Tildas we were getting a few months ago for a few pence to make reasonable portion sizes.

    I wish I had more tilda as it's so easy when making a curry but I'm nearly out. :(
    Need another rice glitch please glitch fairy.

    One particular problem is that accommodation in London is very expensive, so families need to help out possibly more than elsewhere. If the family has a perfectly adequate home for student to live in, they are going to be encouraged to stay at home and study, not necessarily what every student wants and may involve a long commute.

    Also some of the London universities are short of halls for first years and won't guarantee accommodation for anyone that lives within 20 miles of study, so there is the risk that they will have no option but to live at home or rent privately from day 1.

    So that explains the attraction of Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds and the other citi unis for London students - much cheaper accomadation, less travelling between uni and halls or their shared houses, excellent night life still - and direct train services when you need to visit your parents :)

    Now that was a risk DRY CLEAN ONLY. :eek: :rotfl: Glad they were ok. :)

    Not sure if I would have put the dress in the machine if I had paid full price. :eek: It was real bargain 70% off so for £10 if it comes out slightly worse for wear I won't be too bothered.

    Trouble is with arthritis in my hands I find wringing things out by hand pretty painful and with the heat we have been having my right hand/wrist is bit dodgy at the moment anyway. :(

    waits for comments from Dotty and Nerfy

    Aww hope your wash goes OK, mine was out of pure laziness and being tight that I didn't dry clean them. They cost £12 each and when you factor in the costs of dry cleaning them.... I just thought what the hell and bingo spot on like new.

    Good luck!

    So far so good thanks, nothing has shrunk that I can see and all the beads/decorative bits are attached. Will have to wait until dress is dry to see properly, I did put it on the gentlest spin I could. Bikini is definitely fine. :)

    And sorry didn't mean to poke my tongue out at you don't know how that rogue smiley got in there. :o

    Look just as good filled with smartprice/own brand stuff if you have fussy kids (or wife / husband ;) ).

    Coco pops are on Shopotize with £1 cashback - wonder if Shopotize accept Iceland receipts?
