  • My nice delivery driver knew all about the sharpies. He and I chatted, my last pay rise was 1% about 3 years ago. he only got a rise to keep him above minimum wage, wonder what the chief executive got?

    M&S dine in ends today, but I have just found that if you buy two deals and buy the Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie 2015 which are in the deal and are also 2 for £12 though may not be labeled as such. This takes deal down to £16 for two deals, not sure if any of the sides etc can bring it lower. Very little choice of the mains left though.:)

    Was the wine on it's side or were you on your side after the wine?:D

    thanks for this, we are near a Simply Food later so I am wondering wether to pop in but now I think I have talked myself into it :D.
    I am thinking that the apple pies feed more than 2 and can be frozen. I also tend to get the rostis and freeze them, they go well with Sunday night sausages.
    Of the mains the cottage pie and the lasagne look Ok and might freeze - as you say the issue is with the lack of mains.
    I suppose with 2 bottles of wine its not bad value for £16
