    Gorgeous day in Durham:T
    It is, I've got washing on the line.
  • My next round, round 3 of 6 is a week on Thursday.
    In the afternoon, so I'll miss a day of The Cheltenham Festival, sadly the highlight of my year :(

    Well if you can make some of it, that's a bonus :j

    Anyone any idea if Cheesy still working at !!!!!! and also Sada sharpies?

    People are reporting that the cheese has been removed from the display. No doubt you could still find the correct cheese in the cheese section. It is labeled as part of the deal, but you would be relying on the CA not going to check the display to see what is going on. When I bought mine, even though each item apart from the wine was labelled, she still went across the store with a print out of the products to check.

    So the short answer is to check if the cheese is on the display stand. If it is then you are good to go.

    If it isn't you have to decide if you could win an argument based on the product labels alone. Does "meal deal dessert" constitute enough to mean its part of the offer or does the fact that the item isn't displayed in the "finest meal for £10" mean that you can't claim DTD.

    The cheese was nowhere to be seen in our store, I looked everywhere they could have hidden it :( Always regretted the change of management they had a few years ago, before that I could almost go at will if I was bored and find a nice DTD to be had, not anymore :(

    A little thanks bubbs, thank you for asking.
    Hope you are well yourself and have a good day despite the rain.

    The kids breakfast test this morning was bacon sandwiches, which I have fared quite well - much better than the sausages yesterday. They seem quite determined to keep testing my nausea :o
    Thats good x
    Yes i am fine thanks, my sister is coming for dinner , so need to sort veg, going to make some scones too.
    She is not coming until later though as we have it in the evening.
    Hope the bacon sarnie stays where it should

    Or "relocate" some from the cheese section? ;)
