    2:1 as in volume or weight? Weight I presume?

    yup

    easiest thing is just to use 250g block of butter and a 500g box of icing sugar then you don't even need to weigh anything out

    Surely some of us may be visiting IKEA soon:)

    Some people would go just for the hot dog aka sausage:D

    SWIPE A SURPRISE takes off soon, but there’s no need to run for the gate. You still have until 07/08/2016 to win a guaranteed prize – from a holiday in Sweden to a hotdog in-store. Simply swipe your IKEA FAMILY card at the checkout to win every time!

    Don't do what I do and pay for 5 things separately at self service whilst the queue gets somewhat impatient behind you, because when you try to scan your 2nd receipt it says "sorry you've already claimed today" :o

    Another question please.
    I have the choice of a travel lodge in southampton or city centre premier inn. I will have to get a taxi from the train station to the hotel, and then from the hotel to the cruise terminal. Any preference?? (Price is very close so not a factor)
    TIA


    Is that an oooohhhhh or an aahhhhh :p

    . I do think a chaise lounge is a good description of you though. Stylish yet comfortable and laid back :)

    May the odds be ever in your favour;)
