    I have just gone through the order process to check and no additional charge - are you choosing Visa Debit as the payment method and definitely choosing Digital Gift Card?

    I bought a £25 card with a 3 V v1sa - seemed rude not to :). Digital is sent almost instantly.

    Yes 100% done as above-done it wrong 1st time then used visa debit and, I now cant use that particular 3v card as I think T have blocked it but I go on my account and its still active, never mind I can use it on amazon as I have with another couple-
    I will give it another go tomorrow when I get home from work.
    Thanks for your help once again with 3v cards x

    Thank you mhoc:T

    We must have had £70 to £80 worth of food and drink. Mr TM had extra wine and limoncello shots at no extra charge :)

    We got the full menu:eek: I'm so stuffed.

    We saw the lovely Elaine and her gorgeous DD. I wondered if the elderly guy behind me was DM but Elaine reckoned not as he was paying:rotfl:

    You are probably right AJ, I was told old injuries can be first place it appears if you are susceptible. Think have mentioned before other places showed on scan but I had broken my thumb as a youngster and that was first place it manifested. But other hand is bad now too. :( Must admit I was concerned about heat in Turkey but felt best I have done in ages, maybe because everything was being done for me. :rotfl:

    I'm way back on page 178 :eek: just wanted to say that when we go away abroad I'm fine in the warmth. It's the cold damp air that gets me or if I over do things the old osteo flairs up.
    Don't know how I managed the Nirway cruise, it was -15 degrees but it is a different cold up there, not damp if you know what I mean :o.

    We went on a dog sled ride which everyone was told that if you have back problems it is advised you don't take part. I just thought, well it's once in a life time so I went ahead and did it :eek: back and other joints ached the day after but it was worth it.
    The ice hotel was fantastic too, we spent a few hours there, me dressed in my thermals :rotfl::rotfl:
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    I need a really easy and nice recipe for some chocolate cupcake frosting...
    made some beetroot and choc cupcakes yesterday but the frosting I made to go with them with cream cheese ,icing sugar and coccoa powder is refusing to set and is still quite liquidy...
    ....should I have perhaps tried something with unsalted butter?


    LEJC did you use full fat cream cheese ? as light versions go very runny when you try to make into icing
    when I have made carrot cake cup cakes I used this recipe

    [FONT=&quot]Carrot Cakes[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]175g brown sugar, 100g wholemeal SR flour, 100g SR flour, teasp bicarbonate of soda , [/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Icing[/FONT][FONT=&quot] 50 g butter, 150 g philly, 50g icing sugar, 1/2 teasp vanilla extract[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Mix dry ingredients. Whisk eggs and oil, stir in to dry ingredients with carrots.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Bake in 18x27 cm base lined tin or 12 cup cake cases. 180* or 160* fan about 20 mins.
    [FONT=&quot]Allow to cool[FONT=&quot], top with [FONT=&quot]i[/FONT]cing [/FONT][/FONT]

    Glad so many of the Elite have been well fed and watered for free.

    Those with arthritis mine is rheumatoid but very dry heat works wonder. Well any heat but not good in humid weather. Went to Florida in July one year and was in alot of pain. That's why I love Sharm so much as no pain. I imagine Turkey has the same dry heat in the summer.

    Do have a look at the new M list - it's mostly complete now, apart from a few additions - mainly the Chicago Deep Dish pizzas if I get bothered enough or a few more varieties of Heinz Beanz. Otherwise, the list updating is now virtually completed.

    As usual, the list is not written in a way that's easy to understand and, instead, it is very confusing so that you have look through the whole of it or miss something. It's just my way - it's because technical correctness does not chime in with most people's way of doing things. Really, you just need to look at the changes - the bold items - but throughout all three parts of the list:rotfl:. Just to highlight though about the 335g Broccoli and, this time, about the many 'good' items - new entries today! - on the "Buy in M" part of the list. Blink and you will miss them! I wouldn't make special journeys as :(you might not find the best items in your M store.

    The sweets cartons that were on 2 for £2 are still on, until 22nd September. I doubt that really they're a "buy in T" (hoping to compare against M), instead they are probably a "buy in M".

    :think:
    Maybe I should just post:

    Wall's Big Bite Ice Cream Vanilla & Chocolate (480ml) 50p in M (subject to availability).

    You know that, otherwise, I like to sneak items into (and out of) the M list;).

    Note that these ice cream pots were scanning through at £1:( earlier today, but they are 50p - might need to get a member of staff to check and override the price if that continues to happen (hoping that they have the "50p Whilst stocks last" price label on in your store). Of course I am hoping they don't go down in price even further:rotfl: (have had that happen on me a few times now:rotfl:).

    I've not caught up with the thread btw, and it seems that I have no hope of ever doing so. So, more 50ps being spent on ice cream that you'd never have spent otherwise:rotfl:!

    Goodnight!:):wave:
