  • It's very mild here - have had to turn heating off.

    This morning when I woke at 5.30, I could hear birds singing when I opened the window.

    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:

    Thought sausage rolls where made with puff pastry .

    Thanks everyone. I must admit thinking about it I've always used puff in the past. I'll buy some new and test the old pastry prior to using for something else. I don't normally pay any attention to BB dates but I know that frozen things can acquire strange tastes after a long length of time in the freezer.

    Mum always did shortcrust pastry with sausage rolls so unless you've another use for them I'd give it a go. She made the pastry herself from scratch.

    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??

    Looks to be the Millennium & Copthorne Hotels at Chelsea Football Club according to google.

    Agreed - just copy and paste "some of the text" in speech marks and it will find any other sites where that has been used. I just did and it came up with the above (on a website called https://www.hotelsrevealed.co.uk).
