I just weighed mine..It is just under 1.9 kilos....I will grate some of it and freeze it down to use for various recipes

Can you put it on pizza? I can eat a little bit of cheese that way but usually use mozzarella as it doesn't really taste cheesy

Most definitely....I usually use grated cheddar on pizza....OR on top of spaghetti bolognese...Cheese on toast....lots of uses for it...

Thanks, looks like there could be a marathon grating session on the horizon then.

iPad Mini 4 on offer in Staples 30% off instore only - £223.30 for 16gb, £279.30 for 64gb. Thanks to abfmdf on hukd, variable stock levels but national. I "may" now have another item off the Christmas list (good job really as one week to go!).

Worth noting if they only have items on display I understand they will knock 10% off.

They have a lot of discounted stock as they have been taken over by Henco (something like that - the company that rescued HMV). They are changing stock/range and renaming stores in the new year, so will no longer be Staples instore but will remain Staples online as separate businesses.

I need a present for DS3.... he has an iPad, an apple laptop and has just bought himself a Iphone7+.... do you think that this would be overkill!

This is the bag that goes through free instore, not sure if it works online as I don't have the offer any more:

When you buy in store do you just use the sparks card to get the discount? I have not progressed more than online shopping!
