This is what's holding you up MKS

A serious accident involving two cars is causing gridlock on the M4 between Hayes and the Heathrow Spur.

At least one person has been injured in the two-car collision which happened just after midday on Sunday (September 11).

According to Highways England the M4 eastbound has been closed while police investigation work is carried out.

Traffic has been released on the M4 westbound between J3 and J4, one lane remains closed.

Thanks. They then closed the third lane. I am home safe, others aren't. It took me 4.5 hours for a 40 minute journey. I echo Ladyshoppers words.

I could never ditch my cookbooks. I have some that are literally falling apart, I also have Delia and Hairy Bikers (I love the way they cook, bit of this, bit of that, their recipes are so adaptable) but my favourite is Mrs Beaton, it has the same Christmas cake recipe in it that my mother always made

I can't ditch mine either but also google recipes and keep a copy.

cheaper +£0.90

Polo Regular are 2 for £1 at M, but they bought the Sugar Free version:(. I don't know whether Polo Regular would have picked up the M price like it should. It would not have mattered anyway as they bought the Countrylife:

Vs M
3x Country Life Salted Butter (250G) £3.00 £4.50:(

Everything else was N/A, so, if they'd not bought that (expensive branded butter:rotfl:) and had bought the right Polo Mints, maybe they would have been better than 1p. Then I would not be posting at all:rotfl:.

The Polo Sugar Free has changed offer in T since - this receipt was from yesterday - it looks like it's gone from 2 for 80p to 3 for £1.20:wall:, so, exactly the same price on the offer as the previous offer but just getting people at T to buy more:(. This would now not even be 1p against T and the new offer doesn't fit in with any invisible wine gums. So, that possibly has gone for now:(.

Plenty of blackberries are now out in the hedgerows near us - the bushes are evil though, you could swear they move in for the kill when you reach for their berries . Worth the effort though for the freezer .
