    Good morning everyone, happy Wednesday!

    Zero degrees, a lovely frost, and a golden sun on the frost, lovely!

    Someone has put on hukd that waities Christmas are 75% off today

    http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/waitrose-christmas-stock-75-off-from-today-2587591

    Well that'll be right after I paid 50% off yesterday. :eek:

    Though waities own biscuits already seemed to be 75% off with those shortbread being £1 will kick myself if they are cheaper today I bought 6 boxes :o. Along with a mix of 9 of their other selections :o:o

    In my defence it's Teeny's birthday soon so thought choccy ones would be good party food. Party here first and then one for her friends back in Surrey. :eek:

    Morning all :)

    Good Morning

    I'd better stay laying off the biscuits and chocs.

    I mentioned to someone before Christmas that I had eaten a box of ferrero(24)over 2 days that I had bought someone for a present and they gave me a box of 42 for a present:rotfl:

    Very cold and frosty here as well today.
