With 10 days to go we are cutting it fine for using up the AP vouchers :eek:.

Where is the best value for Sunday on the £10 vouchers please?

Still "a few" £20 to use up - who would have thought we would struggle with the deadline .

Fortunately we are off on holiday in the UK so will be eating out a bit .

Many thanks

Mines all in hand I've got 13 x£5 and 18 x £3 left. I have enough £10 ones left for some of us to go to a Toby Carvery and hopefully be able to get 2 Shopmium bottles of ribena

If you are big eaters it's £9.99 for a Toby Carvery on a Sunday BUT only £6.99 midweek.

He's ok with eggs izzy?

And cooked meats, pasta and rice?

Got these today:D

5kg bag of chapati flour for £1.50
Cereal was £1
mango pickle 24p

Think the Thai curry was 38p

I thought I'd picked up the BBQ chicken bags to go in the oven but it is in fact a paper wrap that you cover up the chicken in and then cook it in a pan. They were 24p

Loads of new stuff

Metcalf's popcorn and kettle veg crisps for 38p

Check the baby aisle. Wipes half price etc

TrulyMadly

Got these "kits" for 31p each

So when I checked the contents 93p for a kilo of macaroni, 3 really strong foil containers, cheese and breadcrumbs to coat fish or chicken - they'll sit in the freezer and I think I'll throw the cheese sauce stuff in the bin:eek:

I didn't enjoy my spag bol:o

I was tasting it as I was cooking it and actually stopped adding good ingredients as I felt it was a waste:eek:

It was sweet and sort of bitter at the same time. It would have been so much nicer if I'd only used lentils instead.

Lesson learnt:o:)

I think quorn is nicer.:o

TrulyMadly

I don't know if it isn't or wasn't but don't want it to go unmarked....so Happy Birthday to a very special person:A




They were RTC in A today:rotfl:

Hi gang
I don't know if you're interested but I have been reading up on bra fitting and it seems most of us are in a totally wrong size!
M & S have a terrible track record so I went on there and did their calculation and came out a 36 D ....much bigger than what I usually wear.
I found a site called Boob or Bust which gives step by step intructions and came out a 32 G on there
Not much differnce I hear you say !
Anyway I went upstairs and raked through dd's old (actualy new) bra stash and found a 32 e .
Wow, never had so many compliments and dd kept looking at me saying, "what's different ?
I am off out now to try some new ones on .

Pic please!
