No stuffed ones in my local

I'm stopping looking...I honestly have nowhere to put them:(

I must be mad, actually I know I am. I ordered 12 Corn Fed chickens and 4 ordinary ones to get over the £40 free click and collect. Was going to order all Corn Fed but read Sainsbury's have a bulk order limit of 12 unless pre-arranged.

Why am I bonkers? because I have no room in freezers. Have been eating at Mum's, so I can cook for her and try and get her to eat, have used nothing from my freezers for months; and she doesn't eat Chicken!

In my head intend to portion them all and find some gaps.
God knows what I am really going to do.

Intended to bone them and prepare as breast and thigh fillets, but still no chance of fitting them in.

DS packed on train like a sardine to Liverpool

He text earlier saying there was signal trouble and no trains and station was packed.

Luckily he managed to get on first train that arrived told him to keep vigil he got 2 heavy bags stuffed with clothes , food , Christmas presents etc.

He said he will and will text when he home.

MY OH is livid - he says they are running only one train an hour - Liverpool to Brum, normally 2 an hour, the Sunday service until the new year even though its one of the busiest months of the year - he said the issues would be solved even if they ran 2 an hour early morning and early evening.
So if there are signalling issues everything soon goes into freefall ...

What is it you are trying to do?

I think I am sorted out now. It was quite a mess. Before Christmas I tried to purchase something on ebay using £40 of nectar credit and 50p from my paypal. I had more than enough in my paypal to cover the 50p
But it became an e cheque which didn't clear until 28th so I had to cancel the order
I seemed to have the old current account number on my account - it was only one digit different. I had to figure out how to make the debit card primary and how to assign it to the current account and how to verify it ... nightmare.

:mad: Well Morries definitely sell them, 800g pack, and show on mysupermarket.

At least Tesco gave something back but not as much as you would have against Morries.
