    A question please or 3.

    I am looking at the Ragu chunky Bolognese pasta sauce for TCB - it does not specify a size does it?

    so you could get the bigger size or the smaller size?

    I was looking at mys and the small one is 80p in !!!!!! but then I noticed the bigger one is £1 in sada.

    could I empty half of a jar into a zip lock bag and freeze it - the bigger jars are better value but too much for just us 2

    youngest child got loads of reduced veg at her market on Saturday so she had a soup making afternoon and now has 6 zip lock bags of soup frozen down and ready :T

    :)

    I'm still in my Birkis & Crocs :o:o
    but I will go straight into EMUs soon. Found & lined up ready
    I never wear socks :o:o:o I think my feet are being suffocated :o:o
    But the sheepskin in boots keeps my feet lovely & warm.

    Like mhoc I have bulk bought for the just in case scenario ;) Good job I did as the have changed the sole on the EMUs & I can't get on with new style

    I've got a question for anyone who's gone to a Showfilmfirst screening

    I've heard they over-subscribe to ensure a full house and that it's possible you'll be turned away if you don't get there on time

    I'm going to a screening tonight, but do I just rock up to the screen with my SFF confirmation or do I go to the Box Office and exchange for a ticket?

    I'm just wondering if I could pick up the ticket, then go for dinner, then go back to the cinema....

    TIA

    The screenings that I have been to have always had someone collecting the confirmation e mails just before you go into the cinema. There's often someone waiting outside at the end of the film to get your opinion of what you've watched hth, have fun

    Really?

    Anything smartprice works as an easy filler because W doesn't have a similar range and it all returns N/A

    Or there's mushroom, carrot, grape, etc

    true - carrot, onion, value water are all easy, its just thinking of 9 different ones but it is better than a 10 mile round trip for veggie sausages.

    and only if you are very sure that sada will price match the waitorse price

    They do over subscribe for films and TBH it really depends what you are seeing...sometimes we have been and there are only 20 people in the cinema and sometimes they have been packed to the rafters.
    Also sometimes they put the screenings on in a smaller capacity screen and that can reduce the seats available

    Generally we get there 20-30 mins before the showing time and that probably gives you the pick of the seats....

    You dont need to go to the box office just take you printout in and hand it over to whoever seems to to be guiding people to the screens and they will tell you where to go....sorry its not a case of bags a place and then pop out!

    go very early.

    We have not been to many as its a cinema dessert around here but on the rare Sunday mornings we have been to a preview there has been quite a crowd when the oden opened at 10 o'clock

    once they put quite a big block buster type of film in a very tiny private screen room and inevitably at 10.30 people were still arriving and being turned away

    I've never had that happen...but have always received a short email questionnaire about my experience after to fill in....
