    Forgot to say that the large bags of summer carnival mix scan at 50p.
    They are gorgeous, mix of beetroot, sweet potato and something else which I can't remember but tasted yummy. They are still full price on the sel but scan at 50p.

    Mhoc would like them for her Christmas nipples.

    They sound suitably aspirational:rotfl:

    Where's your sense of adventure?

    You can call in at Dunelm and check out his unusual range of drinks:rotfl:

    Is that Dunelm that sells like bedding and stuff??

    They were short dated around the 10th Dec, so aspirational, somewhat stale nipples. :D

    Thank you curly. I used to be fine. I've spoken at conferences etc in the past but tomorrow is only about 20 people. I feel sick with the thought:o

    Your thoughts please, on a blanket tour. Have said we would go along to one on Thursday but can always cancel it, having visions of being locked in a room for an hour but I'm sure our tour operator wouldn't let this happen, least I hope they wouldn't, especially as they are organising it. They did say there was no obligation to buy.

    Just wondered if others have been on a similar outing. Would love to see how the cave people still live and this is one way we will get to see it. TIA

    :o:o:o Oh yes The Blanket Tour

    I have participated in a 'few' ;) & have never succumbed to buying any blankets but thoroughly enjoyed trips i.e Tarragona, Tenerife volcano etc
    Just smile & sip the cheap plonk & oh & ah in the right places ;)
