Hi AJ, thank you, Xmas was manic this year. :eek:

Hope you are keeping well x

I totally missed wishing you all a Happy Christmas.

And it was so sad to read Sal is now wombling with the angels, she will be missed. Bless her and her family. :A

The wine you win some you lose some I guess, I have fine wines from Twine mystery boxes that have more than made up for this bad one but maybe we should say something...

We had a manic Christmas Day but been quiet since. I would definately make contact and mention the wine, you just never know. They won’t want an disappointed customer, just incase you spread the word, ooops . They can either sort it or just say hard luck xx

Thought I’d mention I bought a joint of beef from M, a couple of weeks ago, the ones they were doing for £4.50 kg before Christmas. As it was vacuum wrapped it was difficult to see if any fat etc was running through it.

I cooked it on low in the slow cooker but when it came to carve it, it was awful. So much waste due to the fat layers running through it and it wasn’t tender at all.

I kept the outer wrapper which showed the joint was clearly well in date so I just bagged the wrapper up and put it in the fridge to return for a refund.

When I got to CS they asked if I had a receipt, unfortunately DH had thrown it out but as I had the price on the wrapper they refunded me fine. However, I was told that M policy is that anything bought from their Market Street section, that’s all the fresh items, which doesn’t meet their high standards can be returned for a full refund and if you have the receipt, you also get a replacement product. So if DH hadn’t have chucked the receipt I could have got another piece of beef too

Handy to keep this in mind for the future

Thanks for the tip off hampy. I’m very surprised about the beef though as I swear by their meat, especially the fresh beef products. I’ve not had any bad cuts yet but there’s always a first time so I’ll think on and keep my receipt, just incase xx

The butter making.... we had no mixer but succeeded

those huge pots of cream

I think I remember you saying that at the time Snap, you did well to succeed :T. Weren’t the pots of cream 2p or 3p a pot, just after Christmas. I know I went back for more and ended up with loads of butter. My AJ was up a ladder cleaning the kitchen walls :rotfl: :rotfl:

Hope That Sister remains well while she is home for a few days. I still can’t get over the fact of her changing her mind but very pleased she did.

Practice makes perfect xx
