If we get no sun at all today we might have to do the same later.

All this talk of rhubarb. I have been pulling mine for a few weeks, and right now, its about 4ft high The stalks are as long as my arm from finger to shoulder. I guess I must be doing something right

Good morning DM :A

I made my first cheese a few months ago - it was on my Bucket list

I made a cheddar-type, and it is maturing in my "cave" - about time I made another to put away.

There are some excellent tutorials on YouTube.

I misjudged the time it takes, I started at about 2pm on a Sunday and it was nearly 11pm by the time I had got it in the cheese press for the night

:T Good to hear. Did you buy a kit, or just buy all the ingredients separate? (rennet etc.)

In the past APG may have had value for marketing, now I am not so sure as they hardly mention it? Most customers probably don't bother/aren't aware it is still running.

Will they continue APG? If they do continue, will A match S? Would they roll it out into S too? Are the claimed 10% lower prices actually a cover in the press for APG? These are the important aspects not mentioned in their news release .

This is what I always thought too...until I recently visited the castlepoint store and saw the front of the store covered in APG advertising :eek: I have never seen this anywhere else.

On another note, as my local A's seems to have the cleanest car park around for reciepts, :cool: , I've taken to looking in T's. I've managed to get over 2000 points in the last two weeks added to my clubcard.

Silly peeps that don't own a card!

Shame that they only convert to 3X now,
Better than nothing though.

The current collection period closes in a few days. You can still boost at x4 until June 10th
