    I am glad you enjoyed them bubbs.

    They are really nice and moist, not like the usual cardboard with foreign bodies and bits you can't chew.

    Guess what I had this morning ? :D:D

    Fish?:D

    Or even sausages:rotfl:

    I went looking for another bottle of wine (this is nothing to do with mix and match;)) in later Ms yesterday, because I found one version on an offer (turns out other places are on even better offer anyway so it's not getting onto the list) and I suspected that the version I had was not the only one on that price. My later stores had only the version I already had though and no others.

    So, I ended up with just the one version and decided there probably weren't any others although I thought it was still possible there was another, or others, that I had not got in my stores. Four stores though - surely one might also have another version if there was any?:think:

    I came back and checked msm - and sure enough, there's another one at that price and not found in any of my four stores.:rotfl:

    Two more stores, which I didn't have the ability to do, might have turned it up. But, even if I suspect there are other versions and go to another store, it's possible it still has only the one I already have and doesn't come up with the missing one or ones. I never know whether I have full lines or not. There could always be some elsewhere that I am missing. It's piecing together from different stores. A, B and C will be in one. Then A, C, D and E but not B will be in another. Then A, B and E in a further store. Another store will have C and E. Another A and F (didn't know about that before!:D) and none of the others. And another none at all:rotfl:. (How many stores would you have to visit to pick up them all?:think::rotfl: Just depended on which you happened to visit. Of course, G (maybe with random ones of the others but not all of them) is in a further store:rotfl:, so I wouldn't have picked G up at all and knew nothing about it even if I visited all those for, and got, all of A-F inclusive.)

    Congratulations rose X

    Nice to see an elite meet today :)

    Well today was the first day for me since I lost nan that I have been on my own with nothing to do as up until now I had been planning the funeral and sorting other stuff out, it feels weird as I feel like I should be up at her house although nan has only been gone a short time it feels like ages but in the same breath it doesn't feel real as nan was such a big part of my routine and our life it's going to be weird for a while.:o

    Well considering it's only Tuesday I am doing a great job of losing things, I lost my dis bank card and then found it then lost my bank card and not found it and then today when I popped to the shop I came out and noticed my engagement ring had fallen off my finger :eek::eek: mad panic and search and couldn't find it but found it at home next to the washing basket :o
    I think I'm going to stay at home for the rest of the week :)
