    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    Ive been looking for a spa deal as a possible Christmas present and thought Id found the perfect one. It was at the Cube in Birmingham - exactly the right venue, spa day, 2 treatments and lunch at the nice resturant on the top floor

    but it was weekdays only :mad:

    and it had to be used by the end of November :mad:

    deep sigh - if anyone sees anything similar on Groupon/livingsocial that can be taken on a weekend - spa day, treatment/s and lunch anywhere within an hour of Brum please shout out :)

    Fridge or freezer space required xx

    I am going to play fridge tetris with mine as they do have a long use by date. Also contemplating combining two into one if I have to freeze...

    Did very well in T tonight. Drove a bit further to the nicest near me, the nearest is horrible and each time I tell myself not to be silly, myself is proved right! There were loads of whoopsies, all 5p or so and a 60p orchid in a pot too.

    Little dish compared to M:

    2x LITTLE DISH 1YR+ FISH PIE 200G £4.60 £5.00 £4.50 £3.75

    2x LITTLE DISH 1YR+ COTTAGE PIE 200G £4.60 £5.00 £4.50 £3.75

    2x LITTLE DISH 1YR+ PASTA BOLOGNESE 200G £4.60 £5.00 £4.50 £3.75

    2x LITTLE DISH 1YR+ CHICKEN PIE PIE 200G £4.60 £5.00 £4.50 £5.00

    2x LITTLE DISH 1YR+ CHICKEN & VEG RISOTTO 200G £4.60 £5.00 £4.50 £5.00

    2x LITTLE DISH 1YR+ SHEPHERDS PIE 200G £4.60 n/a £4.50 £3.77

    Tesco comparable total £23.00 £27.60 £27.60
    Competitor shop total £25.00 £27.00 £25.02
    The difference -£2.00 £0.60 £2.58

    Fillers went into the food bank, I've uploaded the receipt to Shopmummy and hope to have 12 x 2.30 back (ie £27.60). I used 12 x £1 coupons and therefore paid £15.60 less £2.58 BG = £13.02 for my little dishes. If Shopmummy does as I am expecting, I make that £14.58 profit. And whoopsies on top!

    Am slightly, but only slightly, beginning to regret not going back and getting more, although I don't think any of the others they stocked compared with M.
