Do we think it is because they have been frozen before or just best quality eaten fresh? Or will the fridge freezer police come and get us .

Could be something to do with them being in glass pots? Might they crack in the freezer?

Can't believe DD2 actually paid for glass ramekins while at uni. Would have been cheaper to have bought some GU puds and eat them. :eek:

:hello: I think they aren't many changes as such in M today (it is only two days since I checked before after all), except that the Mae Ploy curry pastes may have gone up in price (unless I now have four stores all of which have incorrect SELs - it could happen!). However, I have a handful of errors:eek: to put right on the list. I suppose I cannot really be blamed - the items in question are not usually in any of my regular stores (except that stores farther away are becoming regular:eek::rotfl:) and the offer was supposed to have ended on 24th July. However, one of my regular stores has newly got in one item from the range (I was lucky it even had that). It was initially showing full price immediately after 24th July, but it scanned it and it scanned at offer price, so I found the offer was still on. I had to do that again on a further occasion, as I stood no chance of ever seeing the item again in any of my other stores. Last time, my store had finally got the lower price showing and I've been assuming that others in the same range are also continuing on the offer price. Well, they are not! The others are in one of the stores I've checked today (which was the purpose of travelling out to that store) and they are full price.

I also have lots of other items from the stores today. For example, look at how last time

4xOld Jamaica Ting Carribean (330ml)Any 4 for £1.00

is set to expand into a range of items as I've had just this one in stores I've checked up until now. I still do not know if I have the full range:rotfl:. Most of the stores I've checked now, where they have anything at all, have just this one version but I now have one store (I only need one:D) which has several more than this one! Which of course you'd know if this is your M and be wondering why I have been so incomplete.

Mr TS says he would not like to think it was one nest if they are going in two access points metre apart but also that is a little bit close for two nests to be.

He says you really need to check before you treat it whether the nest is actually in your loft space, I am guessing you have from what you said if you haven't you should check at night.

He said he would be tempted to get professional help with this one as it is high up and if you get stung by one it will let off a pheromone and the others will be after you. He did say if you do decide to do it yourselves you must do it at night when the wasps have calmed down, they do sleep at night. He also said the powder you buy should puff in the gap ok, he treated a lower level one in an air brick once. The poison gets taken back to the queen so the nest does die.

Thanks. We will check the loft again tomorrow, although OH did have a good look this evening, but couldn't see anything. If there was a nest which is a metre long, I guess it would have been unmissable :eek::eek::eek:

The access point he can reach is right in the corner of the house, but the other access point is at the side of the house, as the roof slopes upwards, so it is higher and also too difficult to get the right angle on the ladder due to nextdoor's fence. I think we will end up having to call someone in.

Might be worth giving it a go at the access point you can reach, the poison just needs to get back to that queen. Make sure your OH dresses up well, Mr TS wore goggles, a balaclava, gloves, bands round his trousers etc.

Good luck x
