Just been following a discussion on another group about soup makers - Tefal v Morphy Richards
- which ones keep things warm
- can you freeze them.
- can you use beans and pulses if you soak them

Also £30 seems to be the best price

Very tempted but as always looking for a bargain and not keen to pay full price for anything ...

When I was looking for a photograph, look what I came across......

I have a Morphy Richards. Basic but good. Quite funny, got it off Amazon (Nectar points bought an Amazon gift card in S). A few weeks later it seemed to go wrong, Amazon sent out another and said to dispose of the first one safely. Thought we would check it before we got rid and turned out the safety interlock had been activated, so we now seem to have a spare

Find the smooth soups freeze the best.

How many rakuten codes were you looking for?

Just out of curiosity of course

We were going to watch a couple of films over the weekend.

Thanks

So I've been under the stairs and looking at our nice array of Schwartz herb jars in search of Italian herbs but I could only find mixed herbs but looking at the labels there is not much difference - just need a tiny bit of sage and parsley and maybe a bay leaf ...some experimentation needed.

And in view of the impending Twine shop closure :mad: I did a wine stock check - 3 bottles of posh fizz, 6 bottles of very expensive white to save for Christmas and a dozen red, again all expensive ones - my gang are red drinkers anyway so Christmas is sorted.

But I also found 2 cheap and cheerful reds :T for immediate consumption and there is a secret stash of Oyster bay hidden behind the sofa - def for personal consumption and not for Christmas.

Not that we have been drinking that much since coming back from the hols - 2 bottles over the weekend and that's it. I've only just started wading through the Happy Downs again if only to tidying up the fridge - one a night with loads of ice to water it down a bit

Thanks zip, it's looking like waities will be the way to go! It's a 15 min drive for me to a bigger one or a free, old ladies bus trip to the carp one in town, but it does get me out of the house!

Went last week and it felt more complicated than sada, I was having to add up prices before multi buy rather than how many different things do I have! In some ways it was the same though, as I split my shop and put my RTCs and a few must have items through separately, lovely SA (or are they partners?) said I was 57p short of using my second £6 wys voucher, so grabbed the nearest thing that was under £1 - porridge!
