Well yes, kind of, but they still haven't detached it from the Rimmel, so I'd imagine that once the Rimmel reverts to 2 for £10 it will return.

I've had a stew slowly cooking for most of the day....I just checked it and realised that instead of a spoonful of gravy granules,I must have added a spoonful of cocoa powder this morning...i's a little sweeter than normal so I'm now trying to balance the flavour out with red wine!

Tea tonight may be interesting ....

Should have gone to specsavers:rotfl:
Hope it turns out OK.

The reality of it is...that I should have stayed well away from cooking!

it's a skill that really does not come naturally to me.

I got some earlier too at this price, so possibly national.

£1.99 in 2 stores near me - all sold out, excited when I saw loads of them in another Aldi only to find they were £3.49:( He said it's up to the manager how much he charges. I did say it wasn't a good deal at that price as I can go next door to B&M or HB's and get 4 for a £.

Edit, was meant to be quoting about the £1.99 for 12 tins of tomatoes at Aldi.

Good evening Elite.

Hoping everyone is warm, happy and well. Hugs to those not so.

Started the day with 12 emails from LL saying they will save my orders for 4 more days, after which they will be returned to the warehouse and refunded. Crack on then, seeing as no points will be forthcoming!

Then had a day out with free cooked breakfast, free coffee from Greggs, free milkshake at Ed's and free lunch at Cafe Rouge, via Apps, loyalty cards and mystery shopping. And to make it complete, I finally found 3 x Dove travel sets! The SA was lovely and was so happy I'd got a great bargain! : )

Hope everyone else has had a similarly joyful day.

You might have invented a whole new popular dish. For a start someone must have accidently put the pineapple with the pork to make sweet and sour and the cranberries with the turkey to make cranberry sauce, etc etc

Been busy on phone switching two bank accounts. Why on earth do they make you do it by phone. I hate phones with a vengeance due to hearing difficulties. I'm sweating like a pig by the end of the call with anxiety. Also, most of what they are doing is reading out the t&c's that you can read online yourself. At the end they say, do you understand all that. Yes says me nodding my head saying no :rotfl:

I like your optimism gocat...but I fear this one might just end up on the long list that is called "strange tea"

Afternoon all!

£3.49 in mine too, thought I'd found the wrong ones at first but the image matches. Given that I'd have to blend and sieve the things too (prefer passata, all the flavour and none of the odd lumps!) it's definitely not worth it for me.

Counting down to the end of a very long working day...
