    Wow, that's a lot of different drawers. What would go in the snack drawer then? I can't think of anything that wouldn't already be categorised into one of the other drawers!

    Pringles, mini cheddars, hula hoops, quavers, skips, space raiders.....
    Anything else that has the audacity to be not crisp shaped. In my house you have to be a proper crisp to make it in to the crisp drawer :D

    See I missed David. doing a night shift. :eek:

    FC keep smiling. :A

    I really should have found out exactly how far this vineyard was before I booked this Living Social deal. :o What I thought was hour away is actually over three. :eek:

    Happy Sunday to you all :)

    Livingsocial deals are easy to cancel. You can get your money back if its within 14 days or after this you get Livingsocial credit which you can take off future deals.
    So if you see something interesting on livingsocial it's no risk, better to get it ASAP before it goes off the list.

    Which vineyard?

    Last year for Ohs birthday we went to the one in Holmfirth, had a really interesting tour and then a sampling session - it was just prior to bottling so it we were doing the very first tastes. And then we had a fabulous afternoon tea.

    It comes up on the deal sites regularly, either breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea and they also have very posh self catering holiday houses

    What about crinkle crisps are they allowed?

    Regarding breakfast for work DD makes this for her hubby ( so nice to say that only 3 weeks since the wedding).

    Mix porridge milk ( or yoghourt) add seeds or dried fruit, maybe some maple syrup, grated apple, cinnamon or anything you like. Chill overnight in fridge and add maybe a banana to eat. Its called Bircher Meusli and there are loads of recipes online. She makes it couple times a week and he takes it to work in a little pot. Lovely and better for you than breakfast biscuits ( its still a biscuit) and cereal bars.
  • Good morning all, cloudy here but not too bad:D

    Hope to get around to mowing the lawn today.

    We are desperately trying to find a holiday to book at the moment, but are struggling, especially avoiding a lot of trouble spots at the moment! Got our travel agent onto it now though :)

    It's perfectly fine to have a difference of opinion on here and we often do. It's not ok to single one person out and have a go.
    Enterprise has strong values and opinions, but she's never personal about them. You don't have to like or agree with them. You just have to accept she has as much right to air her views as anyone else.

    Thank you for supporting me, especially with all you have going on in your life :A one or two others last night too, I try to bite my tongue most of the time but sometimes I just have to join in. I then try to hide for a little while :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Quite honestly it really does not upset me if people have a go at me, I have had worse people than that try to upset me :)

    My kids were like that when they were little, they were most insulted if I gave them something like monster munch when they wanted crisps :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Sains car park was littered with till spits yesterday. As usual Mr and Mrs muggle haven't cottoned on.

    I'm going to really enjoy putting together a £20 shop for next week and challenging myself to use as many points coupons as I can and get a BM into the bargain:T

    I had a set of conditional spends for £20 sainsbobs shops, 6 weeks worth, all used up now.
    I did manage a few BM shops as my own nectar card gives me 200 points for a £10 shop from mycoupons.

    Between our 2 nectar cards I think we are getting about 1500 nectar points weekly - 1100 from mycoupons basket and another 400 from mycoupons and till spits and the odd womble.
