Marmite were you trying to lose weight ?that seems quite a lot to just drop off...or are you referring to the £10 note that Sal spotted in the scrunched up receipt at A the other day?....[/QUOTE

I would imagine there have been many claimants for the £10....but we all know that it was mine...So give it back...:rotfl::rotfl:

Hope all is well with you LEJC

Hi all,
No idea how much it is at full price, but there is an offer on Sparks card for one half price bottle of ABEL CHARLOT CHAMPAGNE.

Doubt if there's an amazing bargain to be had, but will check if it's in stock at my local

LEJC apart from the EA problem are you ok?

He can chase our solicitor as much as he likes...she has done lots of work for us in the past and we are charged an all in rate...I think part of the problem as he see's it is that he can't get to speak to her as her secretary just tells him "it's progressing"...which it is.....

I negotiated an all rate for selling my dads house. The buyer p****sed about so much the entire sale stalled for 6 weeks while nothing happened.
The final bill sky rocketed but I think the solicitor only charged us what was originally agreed

There was lack of communication between the 2 sets of solicitors - it was only at the end I realised that the buyers solicitor was NEXT DOOR to ours :eek:
if I'd realised earlier I would have been taking letters and forms between the 2 myself - it would have been quicker even with me having to do a 20 min train trip to get to the solicitors place :rotfl:

I've found it online for £32 a bottle so half price would be £16 - which is still OMG - is it three times as good as the £5 Aldi fizz ??.

if it's the vintage it makes it £17 and £16 for the standard....

ummm...wondering if there might be better deals elsewhere ...guess it depends how brand loyal a person is to a champagne or whether something with bubbles in will suffice....

I have had enough of house sales..I still haven't completed on mine...Sold it once..fell through after 9 weeks...Grrrrrrr...complete time wasters.....I accepted an offer again on the 23rd March...It still has not completed...I don't think I would ever want to sell or buy another house....:mad:

Yes, you're right. According to HUKD it has been half price at £16 previously, so unless it's already on some kind of special offer and Sparks gives half of the offer price, it's not worth it

The blue top one that works out at £8.50 is a much better deal.
