    Me too to mine.

    Good Morning everyone :)

    I suppose I could be pulled up for various infringements across various promos and glitches etc. However, on this occasion, our only error is using the same device which I don't think is in their T&Cs anyway :A.

    Good morning all....

    Whilst tea wasn't too bad last night I dont think I will be adding cocoa again in a hurry.

    Sadly I was too late to make use of TS and Enterprises suggestions of adding chilli or soy sauce...but instead opted for a large glass of red wine to wash it down with!

    OH,bless him did say he enjoyed it but again I attribute that to the wine rather than the food....and the bread was nice.

    All in all it turned into an expensive mistake having had to use a £20 bottle of wine to make it palatable...but at least DM will be pleased with me that I finally did manage to have a glass of the Domaine Des Bosquets!

    What a lovely thing the boys on the recycling lorries are doing for their friend,Rhos....I hope he's in with a good chance of winning the prize.

    Watched the bake off last night....why oh why do I want to think that Candice is like our PD...I know PD has said I'm wrong but there is just a mental block in my brain that refuses to believe that they are not similar!

    We are having pasta for tea tonight...surely thats easy enough for even me?

    Have a lovely day all.

    _pale_ In stew! It's been going up in price. :eek:

    Lets just say I'm not rolling around the floor in agony anymore but it's still rumbling on in the background.

    Got a train to catch......

    Glad you a tad better /

    The thing is Tiny...I joked with DM when 2 came in the mystery white cases that I would end up using it in a stew....he was horrified too!

    I still have one bottle left so I think we will be more careful with that one...it was actually quite a palatable glass of red...I'm not keen on red wine but clearly as the price increases then I am persuaded.

    Can someone please remind me tomorrow to go to Sainsbobs and get my last 1000 point win added. :eek: Or am I already too late? :o I was in town today too. :eek:

    I already forgot to do the brie and wine thing. :( Hands in Elite badge to Anon and he even reminded us...

    I was going to ask what brie and wine thing but have suddenly remembered what it is, annoyingly I missed that, couldn't find any flashed packs :( Shame because we use a fair bit of brie and I could have had this at the back of the fridge maturing.

    I still have a chuckle when I was buying some cut price brie off the cheese counter in Ts, I think it was 3-4 weeks before Christmas, and in passing mentioned to her that I was putting it aside for Christmas, she informed me that there was no way it would last till Christmas and would probably be too soft by then, didn't dare tell her that I preferred it to be more than slightly soft :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    That was the wine I got 7 of over 2 mystery cases. :D

    And the one Mr TS came in hugging one evening not so long ago I swapped it as said those were for special occasions. :o.

    I have tried it as he has already drunk 2 bottles. :eek: Just a sniff and a sip but I can't acquire the taste for it sadly. :rotfl:

    I haven't been called for a mammogram yet, with my mum and grandmothers' history both sides I could have rung for an early one but haven't. I have seen early detection with all the treatment that goes with it and no detection until it was too late, so I probably think very controversially over this.

    My NHS trust calls for women anytime between age 47 and 53 for their first mammogram and I have been relieved each year it has not arrived yet for me to make a decision. :o

    I share your views. Everyone needs to make their own personal decision on this. There is clearly no right or wrong answer. All the leaflets that come with the invitation for an appointment make this very clear.
