    Does anyone know what hotels are included in the 'secret hotels' on last minute?
    I'm trying to sort a double room in Jan to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary(and we're on a bit of a budget!!) but there is one described as ' This modern 4-star hotel sits in the trendy West End, a short walk from Fulham Broadway Tube Station and close to Chelsea Football Club. The hotel has three restaurants, a sports bar and lounge, 24-hour room service, and free Wi-Fi throughout. Each modern room features a satellite TV, tea/coffee making facilities and an en-suite marble bathroom.' Its only £159 for the 2 nights.

    Any ideas??

    Sorry i dont know:(

    Advice please.

    I've just had a sort through the chest freezer and the all butter shortcrust pastry I was going to use for my sausage rolls is dated 2013.

    Do you think this will be OK to use, or shall I bin it and buy new? I don't want to spend ages making them and then the pastry taste yuk!

    I've already thrown out the other pastry which was dated 2010:eek:
