    Talk about right place right time. The wine rack is emptiest it has ever been. I have been really strict with myself this year.

    Just ordered red for Mr TS, I am still slow at getting through the white and the fizz. :o

    I've just been getting the Toro Loco from Aldi its £3.50 and I like it. SO I'm treating myself to the Mystery bargain reds

    I've been stalking the site for a couple of weeks Tiny....we seemed to go from having loads in to suddenly finding we were going down big time.....
    I still have about 10 bottles of fizz so no desperate hurry there for that ...but white went down to 6 bottles and rose 2.......
    Last week I dithered too much and I believe a dear friend beat me to the last couple of cases one evening ....but this time I got straight in.

    I always forget to use Quidco or TCB. :o I just don't think about it in the heat of the moment. :rotfl:

    Neither do I normally

    Silly question but can't you try and use your account to order some wine? :o

    for some reason it defaults to an old account that I dont think we use very often when I sign in...I really need to probably shuffle through everything and get the correct accounts working....I could probably do with reordering new clubcards too as I think we have several of those n circulation as well...and probably only really use 1
    Thats a job for a day when I need to exercise my brain I think.

    It's one of those jobs that mhoc would find challenging and enjoy getting sorted...I think of it as a chore!

    I tried last time someone mentioned the mystery were in stock to use the code someone sent me. But as it didn't work I left it.

    I still have around 30 bottles of fizz. :o About 18 of those are champagne. :o:o I don't actually know how many there are as they are stashed in boxes by the wine rack. :o:o:o

    I know we are running low on red as I have the expensive bottles near the bottom and Mr TS has been bringing them in to drink. :eek: He bought in one of the fine wines to take on holiday, I tried to sneak it back and swap it but he said but there are three of them. :rotfl: I don't know what I'm saving them for if I am honest and it was our anniversary while away. ;)

    We used to keep the good stuff too Tiny...but we now rotate it so if a good one comes in a box we allow ourselves a good one from the rack....you can't take it with you and sometimes wine is best just consumed with those who mean something around you ....

    :kisses3:

    You are right...couple of tears escaped then. :A

    If anything happened to Mr TS the wine would be wasted anyway as I don't drink red. :o
