    I only use plain flour for yorkies and pancakes, what you wanting to make?

    I only ever buy plain flour, never self raising, then if I need to I add the right amount of baking powder. Stems from accidentally using self raising for Yorkshires, flat as a pancake they were :eek:

    Instore you can get an apg up to £20 (£19.99) before authorisation is required - it worked this way since they brought in the new system.

    So 4 razors should be fine instore - online C&C could be 10.

    Hth

    thanks anon i learn something new everytime i come on here did not know apg 19.99 in store. i have had them check authorisation recently for 9 pound odd. but it was on a spend of £12

    My mum used to get me to mix that with water when she had wind, and whenever she asked for it I would always end up burping well before her :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
