    you were on my patch!
    Old Manor carvery is something else now, cant think what - if its the one I am thinking of opposite the Esso garage and liitle Tesco.
    I was out all of Wednesday :(
    My Mr T, bigger version still has not restocked with u&g - just wondering if the S-O-T lurkers have invade my territory :)

    Yes that's the one. It's a Stonehouse pizza & carvery now but the carvery menu is still exactly the same. Think it must belong to the same chain as the Crown carveries and they also do the AA 20% discount :money:

    just back in again collected my new £2.50 Marks fleece, few yellow labels - millionairs desserts and very nice thin streaky bacon from Marks plus a few bits from Morribobs - very very miserable lady doing the 2nd reductions

    And again i forgot to try the u&g to see if the mocs work in morribobs, what is the matter with me ...

    Sadly I did a return of the 3 yummy baby food Q clicksnappy things from last Sunday - all week Ive been trying all ways to get my receipt accepted but life is short so I gave up :(

    oo interesting, wondering now if eldest son is still AA and how to get the voucher - we have a meal out planned for December and this might suit everyone

    I'm home...All shopped out....Checked my A's and in the entrance was a stack of Terry's Chocolate Orange....Marked up at 50p.....:j:j:j:j Well it was rude not to...:rotfl::rotfl:...The SA was busily opening the boxes but as soon as they were out they were gone....:rotfl::rotfl:

    please can I check your barcode to see if its the same as i have noted down , hoping to get to sada tommorow afternoon.

    Its unlikey but still worth a try.
    I am thinking that however sophisticated my gang are a chocolate orange with their Christmas goody bags would still be appreciated :)
