  • Good morning all. Gone back to bed after the school run, trying to get my feet warm. Think it's time to put my trainers away and get the boots out, already!

    Hope all are well.

    Now I'm confused, is this over?

    I was just going to do some test shops as promised,

    Help! Will check back in half an hour when I get to A.

    no, it (aero - oos - visible trigger) started on Friday, so should be good until Thursday
    the quoted shop was from 9th - just to confirm aero had been in the sweets multi before it went oos
    not sure what you want to test but don't buy more than 2 aeros

    Lucked out on the mystery fizz. Got two tesco non vintage, asti spumante , sparking Shiraz and a cheap prosseco. Four bottles had messed stained labels.

    Took them back last night.

    Thanks though x

    You can send the whole box back for a full refund if you are not happy, just ring them and they will organise collection.
  • Morning all, rain and black clouds here, looks like it is in for the day.
    So pleased to hear you can go home LS, have a safe journey lovely.
    Hope your first day at work goes well for you cjj and that you enjoy it.
    Loving the picture Evangeline, I think a lot of people have sort of thought in their head when it comes to ideal places to live. Yes it is quite a lot of money but I can understand how you have fallen in love with it.
    Nice to see you are maintaining your weight tweets, I meant to mention it before, well done :T

    I've loved the fizz pictures...... I'm still hovering over the confirm button.perhaps if there are still a few available later and the bill for the car doesnt run into 4 figures I'll order.

    Morning everyone. Great news that you can go home ladyshopper. Sending good luck to cjj on your first day. Loving the picture Evangeline:)
    Unfortunately no news on the missing dog yet but it has been shared all over facebook, on radio Shropshire and the Daily Post newspaper. Eye witness statements having been coming in and consistently point to 2 men and a boy of about 10 who was seen carrying the dog, who were part of a larger group of about 6-7 people in a silver car and a white van.:(
    Have a good day everyone:)

    I think you are so right Maz....
    My perfect house is an old caribbean wooden and tin house...it took me 16 years to find and many trips to different islands...but a few years ago in St Lu we stumbled across something painted by a local unknown artist that was everything my imagination had wanted....it still makes me smile everytime I look at it now its home with us!

    Boo! That's a real shame. You are meant to get at least 3 champers. I have read in reviews people getting a discount for not getting what was described. I only make that 5 bottles BB?

    It is luck of the draw with the labels though unfortunately. One of my Cordorniu's had stained label other was pristine. I have had a really messy mystery reds before, some bottles were still sticky and had to wash them off, where a bottle must have broken in case they were from originally. But I don't buy them for gifts so it's what's in the bottle that counts. ;)

    Hope anyone else who has ordered has better luck. x

    How lovely LEJC. What a beautiful place, I have never been there but the pics I have seen on holiday websites are stunning. Not only would I like to go there but what a dream of a place to live. I do think art, whatever your personal taste, can always make you smile. I have a few paintings, by unknown artists, that make me smile. One in particular, I think it is in Wales, the artist never paints anything that is manmade so the painting is of a babbling brook, trees and just countryside. You can lose yourself in its' beauty.
