Slightly disappointed with my Christmas cake:o

Think it was in just a bit too long and is slightly crisp on the top:o

As I've got loads of fruit I've decided I'm going to make another next weekend.

Can I ask, do people use butter or Stork in theirs?

I dont use butter, i use ICBINB sorry you are dissapointed cant you thinly slice the crusty bits off?

Just a heads up with Xmas coming up. There has been xmas T magazines for quite a few years now and normally starts coming out in the last week of November, so hopefully soon.
Below is last year.

XMAS 2015
50p off Cadbury Fabulous Fingers or Salted Caramel Crunch Fingers
50p off Soba noodles
75p off any Bodyform panty (awful word!) liners
£2 off any Nexium Control product (no...me neither?)
£1 off ways £4 on any cold and flu product
100 extra Clubcard points when you buy a gift card worth £20 or more
£3 off ways £12 on Tesco dairy (excludes counters) one dated November, one dated December
£1.25 off wys £5 on any Tesco chilled desserts (excluding Meal Deal)
£1.50 wys £6 on any Tesco Continental meat, pate and olives (excluding counters)
50p off when you spend £2 on citrus fruit
50 extra cc points when you buy any 75cl bottle of Echo Falls Fruits.

PS in 2014 there was also the £3 of £12 spend on Dairy.

I believes (correct me if I am wrong) that the re-occurring dairy one has been on the go nearly every year and works on pre-offer prices (BOGOF etc). So maybe put off buying cheese etc until we see what they will be offering, AND what BM might show up. ALSO I notice a lot of Mr T offers ending on 15/11, so maybe Xmas deals will be coming through?

How did you find that:rotfl::rotfl: lets hope lots of coupons and i can get some mags:D

Can't remember which year it was but wasn't there a finest coupon which worked on 2 for £9 wines and you could use two coupons :rotfl: we need lots of glitches in this house Dd bf just been laid off until after the new year. He's a bricky and they've been on a big job all year which has now come to an end, talk about it doesn't rain but it pours :eek:
You see my need for Malibu now :rotfl: I've spoken to her this morning and I said ok honey time to put all that training into practice :rotfl:
He's a grafter and a good brick layer ( his words :rotfl:) so get will be fine it's just another worry we could do without but hey ho.......... there's far worse off than them.

Sorry about dd bf:( is there much chance of finding any work?

If mine was crispy on top I used to slice that off and turn the whole thing upside down.

I hope so but she's just rung me they think he may have got the stomach bug :eek: I've messaged all my friends and there's a few jobs re pointing a patio etc to see him on until he finds something. Unfortunately the building trade goes quiet around now but he can turn his hand to most things so he should be ok DH is going to ask at his work tomorrow, fingers crossed he hasn't got the bug and has just got himself worked up.

Yes us - it was on the news . They will probably just switch to another paper which if memory serves they have done previously .

They may have had no plans for future promos anyway .
