Iceland have a 1kg 'Douglas Spruce smoked Gammon joint with maple glaze' (fresh) for £6 - it looks delicious

Will it not taste like toilet cleaner if it has been smoked by a pine tree? I bought a pine spirit once, wasnt cheap either, and I might as well have a toilet duck chaser with it, minging!!

You do have a way with words Mr Morton. It made me smile tonight. Thanks, it’s not been a good day. Glass of Marlborough Sav Blanc coming up.

I was tempted by the shark or the g tech, tweets seems to like it, but have had other vacuums and not used one that can cope with dog hair like a dyson, this is my seventh, I still have the rechargeable one that's fine and my other upright, cannot remember it's number, maybe an 04, my dd has the 25 I didn't like it, and my ds has my very first one that's a clutched machine but as mhoc says dyson won't service it now:(

I have a shark. Never had a dyson, but my Shark is best hoover I have ever had & I have had a few over the years. A little difficult to push if the filter is clean as the suction is so strong. Picks up hairs no problem.

Good idea. I have more cling film than tin foil though so I'll use that :rotfl:

I can see right through that idea:cool:

It was me
In the end I went with some Oral B electric ones - a pink one for GF and a black one for Eldest son, both about £25 from Amazon - overpaid a bit so I could get the colours. Mind you my Amazon credit balance was healthy at the time ...

A couple of questions please, is it corded, what model, I think I will look at getting one next:)

I received that too, only had 85 points to put them to charity, I admit I never looked at the expiry date.:)

Yes i had exactly the same. It's more annoying as i haven't used them since last year when they cleared my account out of over £30 worth of points as they didn't bother sending out any reminders :mad:

I had that email too. I couldn't see a points value anywhere, so I just typed a random number into the redeem box. It then told me I could only redeem between 1 and 93, so I assume I had 93. Minimum needed to get a £1 e-voucher was 100 so I donated them to one of the charities on their page.

Thanks for all the responses. I have vouchers showing with £0 and expiry dates of 2020. Hope that I did spend them! I remember that I only use RSH when I have vouchers as they charge more than others.
