    Heheh, for tea we've just had yellow stickered 'Finest' chicken, stuffed with yellow stickered Dolcelatte, wrapped in yellow stickered bacon and cooked in the oven in a glass of Lidl Sauvignon Blanc - I'm not drinking tonight, so OH gets the rest of the bottle to himself. Served with yellow stickered 'Finest' carrots and a bag of reduced 'Greens'. Goosegog (from the garden) crumble and Lidl Ice cream for dessert. :rotfl:

    And very good it was too! ......I'm pogged now.

    I hope you remembered to take the yellow stickers off before cooking them! :rotfl:

    Hi PaP - Just to confirm that I managed a NSD after all. There was a loaf in the freezer (and frozen bread makes the BESTEST toast) :j :j

    Walked to the local Flower Show for an hour, this afternoon. There WAS a 'Beer Tent' but I resisted the temptation and had a can when I got home. :beer:

    I want to wear my beautiful wedding dress everyday- it would make shopping so much more fun, I mean, people go shopping in their pyjamas these days.......
