    Morning all!

    It is probably worth checking over the next few days for any additional stock in A, I went yesterday lunchtime and got another 3 4-packs of Strongbow pear. Lots of 4-packs of Thatchers but no 8s, pity as it's one of DH's favourites. I did see that the unbranded European lagers were also cheap. Got a 4-pack of French lager for £2-odd as a taste test, which is cheaper than the lidl's own-brand DH normally has, and that was my benchmark :rotfl:

    Barilla Whole Wheat Fusilli (500g) was £1.50 now 50p @ Tesco

    I remember getting this in M! I can't remember if it was cheap or free, but I'd had a £10 M voucher as a goodwill gesture following some bad chicken, and I had to run off and get more as I accidentally nearly went into negative :o

    I enjoyed the dawn chorus this morning. Has everyone heard this?
    If not I can highly recommend it. At a guess I would say at approximately 4.15 there will be silence and half an hour later you won't believe what you're listening to.
    Yes I'm nuts but if you get the chance get out there and have a listen.

    During autumn/winter I am sometimes walking down the road when the dawn chorus starts up, whilst very musical it is also quite deafening lol
