    Last time we were in W there was a Cropwell Bishop tasting.....it was a creamy rich Stilton. That's one for my cheeseboard.....what would you have on your Cheeseboard TS?

    Always a nice ripe brie :D, I love smoked applewood too. A really crumbly vintage cheddar. Usually something mild with fruit in, either apricots or cranberries, don't mind if it's a wensleydale. We usually have a nice bit of Stilton for Mr TS, I;m sure he was talking about getting some of that one you just mentioned with our xmas veg box delivery.

    I usually end up with loads more cheeses though with flavours, or more unusual ones from whoopsies though. :rotfl:

    I looked for the umberellas in SD today but no luck:o
    99p is enough to pay as I leave them behind everywhere:o

    I went into a largish superdrug yesterday and was faced with about 10 of them! Satisfied myself with buying 3, the SA did comment they were a good price :rotfl::rotfl:

    The funny thing is I still have a few of the really cheap umbrellas we go from Amazon a while back :rotfl::rotfl:

    Too much to catch up. Been away at graduation for DS2, who starts his first proper job today. With a bit of luck, that will be both of them off the family payroll.

    That is fabulous news...... make sure you enjoy your new found wealth.:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

    Thank you for all the compliments. Baby has a slightly scraggy face but I have decided it is just very young.

    . I do think a chaise lounge is a good description of you though. Stylish yet comfortable and laid back :)

    May the odds be ever in your favour;)

    Evening folks :wave:

    We're going out for my brother's birthday tomorrow after Star Wars and he says he doesn't want to go to Beefeater again :eek: Is he really my brother?!? :rotfl:

    He wants to go to a restaurant that is part of the Mitchell and Butlers chain and I'm struggling to find discounts I can take advantage of :cry:

    Is anyone in the AA that uses the 20% off? I was wondering, how strict is the need to show your membership card?

    TIA

    My friend has done exactly the same thing for her dad :D

    What a coincidence :D
    Thank you for mentioning that, just won a pizza, no idea what size though!

    Excellent, well done you :)
    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.
