A question about sugar please, how much does a cube of sugar weigh in grammes?

Just been looking at mr !!!!!! online emporium and it now gives the ammount if sugar for each item in sugar cubes.

A cadburys fudge, a thin insignificant item has 4 :mad: but a nearly twice the size snickers has 5

A lemon swirl cheesecake has 24 :eek:

Hobnob slices apparently gave none :T

But oddly mr !!!!!! own brand peas has 6 cubes - I am very confused, do they add sugar to peas in the freezing process?

A box of sugar cubes contains 126 cubes - 3 layers of 7x6 cubes per layer

Each box is 500g total, making each cube 3.97g

Hi Gocat. Like others suggested set up a S/O for the same date for all the payments needed. It's so much easier. I've had no problems so far.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but how did you manage to set up so many d/d's. I need to find the cheapest option (I'm hoping £1 each or less) otherwise I won't be earning any interest come September. I can't move my utilities d/d's as they are needed on the account they are already on!

Any suggestions gratefully received.:)

I have a bank account with Tesco and got there internet saver. You can set up DD's to t internet saver. I just did two DDs for the interest from BOS . If you do a search, there are some threads on how to set up extra DD's like this. hth

ETA. ooops see Juju has beaten me to it and others too

MKS the forum rules are we are not meant to discuss PPR posters, I would imagine that is the only reason your post has been removed. x

Huge sigh of relief Errant son is now on his second train :j

He had to go across from Euston to St Pancreas International with just 20 minutes gap - I remembered to give him helpful hints about all sorts of things but I forgot to tell him to hit the ground running at Euston and just go for it which he has done anyway

In theory it's an easy 10 min walk but in reality getting across the forecourt in Euston is daunting,the pavements get very busy and congested and you have to cross side roads. And then there is finding your platform at St Ps

His interview practical session was put forward a day but the start time is 9.30 so we found a route which meant he could go down today and not have to stay over with his big sister last night.

So that's him sorted now for most of the day.

DS2 has done that route many times. The first time he got lost even though he had proper instructions! The the GF was meant to do the journey and he offered to meet her, she said there was no need for 2 people to get lost.

Thanks TS. I appreciate that but the person has been mentioned in numerous posts and they have not been deleted.

On a different note, how does it feel to be on the front page of the Sun newspaper? Or would you have preferred page 3?;)

And another but reviews suggest may be more suited to children or tiny persons.

Thanks Gocat.
Juju kindly pm'd me but I'm still struggling with how to set up the D/d's. I can only see options to cancel d/d's or set up new standing orders. I've been googling what to do but still can't figure it out.

Edit - just realised I had a current account not a savers or instant access! Managed to open a savers but it won't let me open the instant access so I will try again later! Thanks for your help.
