    Veuve Cliquot is an overpriced Champagne, although why anyone would want to drink Champagne at inflated prices when there are some excellent 'proseccos' and even 'cavas' around, at a fraction of the price, is beyond me. :beer:

  • Evening everyone,

    Did our weekly shop which is budgeted (£50/week) and got quite a lot of things cheaper and so, and then rather than leaving then feeling chuffed and with change, things like kitkats and cashew nuts found their way into my trolley, so ended up spending £50 afterall!! - MUST REMEMBER NOT TO SHOP WHEN TIRED AND HUNGRY!
