    That is very true....I've just checked mine too and they are the 2nd Sept...although I had to get all lemon ones as it was all that was left....but I'm looking on them as fruit intake so better for us than chocolate.

    Some of us count chocolate as a vegetable...:D

    The dates on mine were 6th August!

    Have popped 2 boxes in the freezer so will let you know if they are ruined!!

    Would like a swap with someone as I only want the pizzas, noticed a few of you only want the puds!!

    Longs your ok thats the main thing;) Hope you got things sorted
    I've enough to keep me busy well into October and beyond I think....it's no bad thing though...

    How's your arm,I caught that you had had a diagnosis and hope that at least in the short term you are managing the pain with something...

    I also thought about you the other day too....when I got sent a new iron to test...it's a serious bit of kit and so easy to use....but the price tag looked very hefty when I looked it up online.....I couldn't believe that presumably some people pay literally hundreds of pounds for an iron!

    Just back from pizza shop all good except...as I got in the door there was a big fridge right by CS and a lady shouting very loudly how you need 4 pizzas and 4 gus and ten packets of sweets (not different items).
    The old lady she was addressing was getting flustered and another girl came up and she started spouting and waving her arms at her.
    Now I'm all for sharing the love but these people were being bombarded with wrong info and they were both trying to back away, CS were looking over and I went over and advised it was 5 deals and just do the 6 for 50p sweets one of each type ....she hit the roof and starting really shouting that 5 was far too many for one shop bla bla.....Que Sera eh ??

    Thanks for the glitch on pizza and gu. Anyone else having a chuckle at the comments on hotukdeals. They never seem to really understand these glitches

    They have it in my size near the JL I am going to this afternoon. ;)

    I have this one its not that long as I am only 5' 3" and I wear mine without taking it up ..the only thing is it gaps at the front if you have boobs or are fat like me ..so I bought the swimsuit to wear on hols, then it wont matter so much as its the same fabric lol xxx

    some just don't get it do they...it's been a lovely entertaining afternoon all round.

    Thanks to scamps for posting from wherever he found it and graciously sharing without prejudice ...it's been lovely reading how we've all got involved....sorry patty and the others over the water in NI but i'm sure NI is a better place overall without a M to get in the way!!!!!
