    A few years ago we always had strange tea on a sunday evening....it was the time when we lumped all the leftovers together over the week and in effect had a tapas style evening....occaisionally it might also involve using up small bits of frozen stuff or the ends of boxed things where they came in a box of 6 and we had 2 leftover,that type of thing

    sometimes things went together and sometimes it was a challenging mixture...hence the name.

    Actually we've not done that for far too long...perhaps it's time to bring it back....

    Ah...happy memories

    Running in to say M&S meal deal could not see any of the wines in the deal this time round that were also on a multibuy to get the deal for less than £10. :(

    Think someone was asking this morning?

    There is 25% off 6 bottles wine instore and their own lovely Prosecco is down from £10 to £8 so would be £6 bottle for six. :beer:

    Not sure if this could be mix and matched with a couple of meal deals...

    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 ....

    Quite a few other wines in M&S clearance that are included in the 25% off. Nothing spectacularly cheap but some good buys and you know what you are getting, this is not any wine this is....;)
