    NO BUT AT FULL PRICE THEY WERE £1.50 for three:eek:




    My potatoes have long gone. I’m just left with onions, garlic and apples:)

    Just using the last of the onions but have lots of shallots left as well as carrots, a few leeks, brussels, red cabbage and beetroot (pablo, is really good for all year).

    Have you tried this? SW version uses butter frylight otherwise a knob of butter. In a foil dish put about 6 peeled, halved shallots, 6 peeled and quartered mushrooms, frylight or butter on top, sprinkle with herbs de Provence, cover with foil lid, put on the bbq (I have a gas one) and cook for about 20 mins. Goes well with pork or chicken.

    I agree but preferably line dried. All of the 'smelly' fab cons just don't compare with fresh air. If only the manufacturers could make that smell.

    :D Yes this bed linen was washed & line dried yesterday morning, aired and not ironed & is divine :D

    I agree Silvercar = fresh bedding every day & someone to wash my hair with a scalp massage :D:D
