Thank you for the box ideas everyone. Our local Homebase turned into Next a few years back and we rarely go to another one,

Lidl occasionally put boxes out so will keep an eye out in there, and we have a nearby Aldi that has just been extended. It is frustrating because I used to often see stacks of boxes, but our Tesco hasn't done that in yonks, hopefully have a trip down costco soon, or even Ikea, will move the boxes out of the dining room and check what is in them next week.

Just we have some bankers boxes that I won with a shredder and they look the perfect size but they are full of Christmas/birthday presents and bigger boxes justo would not fit there. Still amazed at the price of them though!

Our local Co-op put boxes out, I think it's twice a week. You'd need to ask what days they do them if yours is a smallish store.

Fumbling along on catch up before Strictly comes on.

Thank you for the yogurt shops, I've not done one since last week due to illness but will try tomorrow. Yoyr lists of yogis are most helpful as I'm another one that's slow on the uptake :cool: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
I did manage to get 5 more soups though, thank you x

Hope you've all had a wonderful day, shopping, relaxing, drinking, se, :rotfl: no I'd better not :eek:

Back to catching up

Evening peeps.

My first attempt at a beef and ale pie from scratch (apart from the puff pastry!)

Took me 3 hours! :eek:

That looks yummy scamps, can I have a small piece please? xxxx
Very well done, even with the pastry, at least you've given it a go and succeeded
