We are saving Fortitude to watch in one fell swoop - I am avidly into Nordic noir so the atmosphere is excellent. Weve also got an obsession with Iceland

We had to turn up the heating while we were watching it:rotfl:

Is anyone else deeply annoyed by the size of the Lindor boxes

when you could get 2 Milka - 200g of chocolate for the same money

Deeply annoyed with free chocolate? Not at all .

Would I pay £1.35 normally for a tiddly box like that? No.

Are they an energy drink?

Yes it is an energy drink. From memory it is flat like cordial/water.

I always work out price per 100g when buying chocolate. If I can get it for 50p or less I think it's a bargain.

Do you have a Home Bargains nearby?

They sell Golden Sunrise chocolate buttons that are actually repackaged Cadburys Giant Buttons (evident from the Cadburys stamp on the base of them - although that's not obvious on the below photo)



89p for 250g makes it about 35p per 100g for Cadburys chocolate

They also do 300g chocolate chunks for the same price if you want to go sub 30p/100g

I only know about it thanks to this HUKD thread from a while ago:

CADBURY giant milk buttons 250g for 89p. Home bargains instore

Called in M on my way home, the golden syrup was priced at 1.95 in my store. So didn't have time to query.

Yes they are definitely on offer as I bought some yesterday - on the main shelves with other syrup and on promo end of aisle with pancake range. Maybe SELs haven't been updated.

Have you had your slide rule out:rotfl:

My Versace perfume arrived today with my facemasks:rotfl:

5ml is more than I thought. I was beginning to think it would be one of those tiny glass phialls but it's a lovely little bottle.

I even like the idea of tipping it upside down on your finger tips and dotting it behind your ears.(lugs:D)

Came with a free sachet of Advanced body lotion....wonder if my body is advanced enough:rotfl:

Has anyone been watching Fortitude ....is it worth investing all that time in?
I watched the first episode last night and I'm a bit unsure

I thought season 1 was good but I watched season 2 over a couple of nights and I would rather have those 2 nights back :eek:
