    Simple, they form to the shape of the tin :rotfl::rotfl:

    Everyone else would like the sound of that scamps but afraid I'm not a gravy person. :o

    I like my meat dry. :cool: (DM behave :p)

    If I do ever have gravy it is the tiniest splash on my veg but I can't stand it if it touches my roasties or yorkies. :eek:
    First sign of Asperger's keeping your food groups separate, so I've read. ! I'm the same, I now ask if if we order a dinner can you please serve my gravy in a jug, not on the food.

    Cakes do that too, but without the gravy well in the middle. :D

    Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone that donated to DD's page. We had a fantastic time watching everyone even though ended up paying a premium for the spectator tickets. But we made the most with all the freebies available, crisps, biltong, Trek bars, wine tasting, and Mr TS was happy with several cans of Brew Dog IPA for free. :beer:

    It was a great experience for the girls and the smiles at the end said it all. :T

    DD has updated the page with a few pics and a message for everyone. :A

    Awww....well done those girls:T:T:T

  • Evening all! Well, more like good night I suppose.

    I love yorkshire puddings and gravy.

    That's my contribution ;-).

    Not over 70 (quite) but I have had a bit of back pain and my son has very mild asthma. Rang NW and they wanted an extra 180 quid to cover us, entered same details on a price comparison site and the family policy was £50 in total so NW wanted more than 3 times as much just to extend the policy.....

    We had the packaged account - it was £10 per month to start with but then it increased to £13 and they dropped some of the benefits eg the white goods insurance. I think they also downgraded the mobiles insurance.

    we had to pay an upgrade fee for OHs ailments for a couple of years. It was due to renew in April after we got back from the March holiday but just before we went away OH acquired a new ailment. Nationwide wanted nearly £200 to upgrade because of OHs existing conditions :eek:- this was on top of the £13 a month. So £156 a year plus another £200 upgrade.
    I rang staysure and got a much cheaper quote for travel insurance. I got the road side assist from autoaid via groupon. Total £160.
    Then I downgraded the current account to a normal flexaccount saving £13 a month.

    So the packaged accounts are a really good if you have cars and travel a lot but ideally if your health is perfect
