For those of us who can't cook very well, looks like today's potential new glitch might come in handy..;)

All the 74p Colman's packet sauces are in a 2 for £1 offer from today (I had them scanned when in my local earlier). The deal is, buy in twos and hopefully the apg will compare £1.48 v £1, returning 58p each time, making the packs 21p each.

Most flavours look like they compare to 50p in M, some 50p in W and lots 4 for £2 in T, so you can just about pick any shop to compare against.

*coughs 'FC'*

GRRRrr - the Tilda worked BUT I lost £1 on each shop on whoopsied limes that were 10p each. Never had that problem before with whoopsies, had a feeling I was in trouble when she put them down as limes @27p each then changed the price.

No I definitely have knickers M&S ones.

Thought that was your OH with hands clasped in the pic thinking what on earth are we going to do with all that. :rotfl:

My wine rack won't take fat bottomed bottles sadly. Some I could squeeze in if I wiggle them as the wood seems wider at certain points but I don't take a chance.

Haha he doesn't even like champagne! He just rolls his eyes when he goes into the garage. He is a red wine drinker so I always have a good stock of his favourites in

You have to watch out he may get a taste for it, Mr TS is a red wine drinker too (I don't worry about favourites he drinks almost any to be honest), but lately my bottles of fizz don't last up to the 3 days they used to because if he opens one for me now, he asks if he can have a glass or two. :eek:

Think I might have to get to grips opening bottles myself. I'm always frightened I won't keep the cork under control and it will go bang either losing some fizz or breaking something with a flying cork.

I have had the De Vallois before, it is a very nice champagne. Haven't tried any of the others, good to know that the Condesa de Flores is OK :T I would have been disappointed with a Lambrusco. All the bottles will get drunk. Will definitely order another box

I don't think I have ever had the other 2 either, wonder what will be in mine. I'm really hoping my labels are ok this time my last box they were a mess so no good for gifts.

Check your emails Bella Italia have sent out Friday vouchers. One of the offers is second main for £1.

Gutted closest to me has gone not driving to S'ton on a Friday. M27 back to Poole/Bournemouth is a nightmare. I think a lot of people who work in London come home for the weekend.

Sometimes it doesn't feel like it!

Has anyone candied orange slices before? (not a euphemism)

Some of you might be pleased to hear I have things to do for a few hours.

Bit of peace and quiet for you all this afternoon. :rotfl:

Will report back if my fizz arrives.
