Have used that recipe every year for 32 years!

I normally make it anywhere between 2-3 months ahead, but would be fine made before the end of October or so.

Think this will be a job for tomorrow. Do you store them in the dishes until Xmas or can they be taken out and wrapped??

It is the peanut and caramel (not muller rice) that is showing on asda. Just assuming it is an invisible trigger because I have seen two confirmed shops now today

Must be then, if that's what you're seeing - even though the product is on a.com and in the offer but has not yet got a picture of the product.

https://groceries.asda.com/search/muller%20light%20peanut

It's on there. As you know, I don't like "New!" items:rotfl:. Especially not "New" with an exclamation mark after it, as if to exclaim out to me that it is any good:p:rotfl:. I suspect this may appear on the APG soon if it is not doing so yet, probably even as early as tomorrow?

I don't know - I'd be going for one of Pumpkin Spiced Latte/Rice Chocolate & Caramel/Gold Edition if I didn't now have enough Mullers and the fridge completely full.

Another Rice Strawberry being taken from the fridge as we speak:(:eek:. I've made clear to them "just one!:p":). I'm really fighting a losing battle there aren't I?:rotfl::rotfl: I shall be exhausted having to keep this up until the middle of November:rotfl:.

It's not as if I can 'hide' them or anything. I will have to tape the fridge door up:rotfl:! Nightmare - these people that consume things that we've bought to be consumed.

I am still reading around the avois points, and really do not get it.

The cheapest flight in points to bangkok is

19500 Avios with £234.45 taxes, fees and carrier charges

If you shop around you can get the flights for not that around £200 on top of the taxes etc.

I really do not understand.

Are you comparing like with like?

Your Avios flight is with BA and I assume direct. it is also cancelable for a £35 fee upto 24 hours before travel (so you would get all your Avios back and £199.95). It includes luggage, hand baggage and booking your seat 24hrs in advance, food on the flight etc.

Compare that with the other flight.

I line the dish with baking paper to help get it out, then remove that and wrap with foil then put in one of the old chocolate "tins".

They can be stored in the dish, but I tend to want to use the dish in the winter.

Oh, and I use muscovado sugar for the brown sugar if I want a really dark pudding, and I tend to replace the almonds with walnuts because OH does not like almonds! But they are only very minor changes and make no real difference to the cooking.

The cancellation is rather good, we have had flights to Bangkok for around £400 with the food/luggage etc included. I am trying to figure out a new credit card (with the end of Diamond... I also have points from Diamond that I have never used.... it would be nice to use them), whether I look for avois to add to the diamond (now BAE) or cashback... I am edging towards avois only because loads of people appear to love them... so I am assuming I just need to learn more about them (I keep reading head for points...but it is rather confusing). x
