The glass pots are lovely for home made desserts, anyone any other ideas what they could be used for Tia

Jam dishes, cream dishes, butter pats.

Not sure I'd put a tealight in them in case they crack.

I sometimes use them for pickles and chutneys when we have our cheese and wines dos.

We will leave you to do that one Anon.

I don't think there will be any need to freeze any in our house I would imagine they will be long gone by end of august. :rotfl:

You can pick up a new nectar card from Sainsburys and when you are ready give them a call and register new card and ask for any points on your old card to be transfered to new one, you can use yr cond.spend as soon as you pick up another nectar card. HTH

Thank you for this, I will pick up a new card instore, and see if the machine accepts my MOC. I know you cant use another registered card, as it is card specific, but this cunning plan might just work.

Tree situation is tree management are coming to have a look tomorrow morning.

Had a letter through the door today from electric company. Every few years they come round to trim/chop down any trees getting near their lines. I had a HUGE (about 50-60 foot, forgot the name of the tree, the evergreen that looses its needles every yea, it will come back to me) ...Anyway, they say that some of my trees need trimming, now I know that all of mine are well clear, but there is an area that looks like it could be my property, but isnt, and their tree (neglected area) that could be, would it be so naughty of me to tell them to just chop down what they want (= more sunshine for my toms )...To be fair, it is only one tree, not a very nice one, but it is overcrowded with brambles, and even so, I would not do it, just a thought though!!

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

Thanks - he did give it a go this evening, in similar attire:cool:
But hardly any of the powder came out when he squirted it upwards ;)
You never know, we might be lucky - I guess it's like getting pregnant - it only takes one little swimmer to do the job :rotfl:
I then dashed to T's as it went dark, to see if they had anything with a better puffing function
They didn't - if only I'd known about the pizza glitch, it would have taken my mind off the wasps :rotfl::rotfl:
It's going to be a looong night. The bed in the spare room is full of things we've been sorting out today, so I can't even sleep there

savvy do you know about the pizza glitch

Yes I do. I've been here a little earlier and seen it. I've been delayed in posting on here by going out and doing a shop - however no-one in my house likes pizza:wall: so I haven't bothered with T (it seems excellent though and just wondering how much the Gu work out to be even if I were to throw the pizzas away (not suggesting waste is the way)) - instead, I've gone my own way (as usual:rotfl:) and gone for the unpopular Quorn fillets at A (I managed to fit a shop in just before midnight).

I'm hoping for something like this:

1x ASDA Loose Carrots (select by weight or whatever verbiage the system comes out with) £0.01:D N/A

seeing that the carrots have dropped off the system vs M:(.

My store of course had full price SELs tonight but they were 4 for £6 (until a few moments ago I suspect). So, it should work, but did I buy enough items?:rotfl: Anyway, I guess I figured also that buying pizzas and Gus would still be paying some real cash to T but buying the Quorn Fillets A shop cost me 2p after use of a couple of wombles. It's nice and well-timed I think for me on the Quorns as we've just ran out of them and I also managed to put other items onto my shop, as it was helpfully supposed to be against M, that I needed:T.

TM I admit defeat I had to take this out of the fridge tonight to get the pizzas in.



It's nearly a year OOD now. Have used most of it, about a month ago Mr TS used some and even I refused to eat it as it looked really weird sort of separated and very very yellow. Well I had a peek earlier and it's that bad I wouldn't even inflict you all with a pic. :eek:

Worse thing is I have another tub out in my stash room unopened, goodness knows how that one has faired.

We must have bought something different as ours puffed in from any angle.

Fingers crossed for you x

Wasps - not sure how reliable it is but leaving paper bags hanging in your loft is supposed to stop them nesting.
