    Has anyone risked buying President butter this week?

    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/Shopping/FindProducts.aspx?query=PRESIDENT+BUTTER&store=Tesco

    I was thinking of adding it to the !!!!!! v sada list but on mysupermarket its just showing the unsalted version so now I am wondering if there is even a salted version any more?

    We are at the critical stage with butter - I think if there is any doubt I will wait and use up some small value APGs
    Oh no, another thing to compute!
    Going to France/Belgium on Saturday for 3 days, this used to be a booze cruise, but not so sure now. I have done it with my DSiL for the last 20 years since our dear brother died. We live only 4 miles apart, but don't see much of each other, unless we need to and we started doing this with 2 others as she felt she would never get back to France without him.
    As I was saying, really need to look at what is worth buying now... of course we will still get decent wine relatively cheaply, but I don't necessarily appreciate, decent wine!

    Not sure where Bear is today but think I heard him scurrying around in the attic a little while ago. I did mention to him last night in passing that I had a polar bear or two up there so think he has gone to round up the troops.

    Anyway in his absence here's a pastel I did in class today.

    Good evening all.

    Do you know what it is on Friday and Saturday damo?

    Hi TM
    Friday is taste our Waitrose 1 mince pies, so no offer just a tasting. Not sure if that's means they will give you a whole mince pie for free

    Saturday is half price on all the Christmas chilled desserts range. Not sure which ones though, because online the link only shows a New York cheesecake, which isn't very exciting!

    Sunday is taste our red velvet tree trunk cake
    Monday is 2 bottles of Brendon Cuv!e Jean Louis Brut for £25

    Don't forget there is 1/3 off the cheese counter until Sunday too. I got a huge piece of applewood smoked cheddar today for £2.50. It's my favourite Xmas cheese:T

    Edit - just seen Locarr already replied! Hi couldn't get the links to work.
