    Throw out :eek:

    Honestly mrsmac stuff keeps much longer than you think. :o We had trout fillets in the week and I'm not sure if they were 2013 or 2015 honestly. :o:o I think we ate the 2013 ones but the freezers got a bit mixed up when we moved them out to the garage earlier this year. :eek: We did eat salmon from 2013 last year. :rotfl:

    I finally finished those 2013 cup a soups yesterday. :D I probably have more out in the garage though. :o

    I'd second that. Fish may slowly oxidise due to their unsaturated fats, and might be not be acceptable but that would probably take many years to happen, but most stuff in your freezer should just be rotated into your kitchen freezer and eaten once defrosted and cooked thoruoghly.
    We used to have a 9-drawer freezer. Really miss it now!

    Morning luvlies for those who didn't manage to get the blind pig cider on Shopmium this week, just had an email that it's back on Monday. Three different flavours (I got all 3 ;))


    Morning, does that mean if we have already got it, we can get it again, please, as it's a new offer? Here's hoping:)

    Well I had been putting it off, trying on the dress I hoped to wear this evening to the charity ball. :eek:

    And it fits. :j:j:j Not sure what I would have worn if it didn't. :rotfl:

    It's this one that I nearly wore to my 50th last year...

    161bx29.jpg

    One of my bargains for £10 when after getting my inheritance I bought a few more dresses than I should have. :o Along with a few others I haven't worn yet. :o:o

    Last time I wore more of a cocktail dress to the charity ball but almost everyone else was in ball gowns, but I'm just too short under 5" to carry one off plus the expense of getting a petite one. Anyway this dress says it is a prom dress but it's not got those ridiculous net underskirts for someone of my age. ;) Meant to be just below the knee so midi type but on me is perfect as a just above the ankle maxi dress. :cool:

    Now to decide which shoes to wear, reckon I might get to wear some fairly low gold ones to jazz it up, another impulse buy I have never worn either. :o Don't think I should go too high with my knee and foot still under repair. :rotfl:
