So, if you manage to find some wonky parsnips* on whoopsie of 10p or below, or any wonky pomegranates on same...

*(price increase on regular ones from 28p earlier in the year to 42p - no use 'saving' 10p (to spend on other items from the store) if they went up more than that a few months ago)

Unless you find some on whoopsies of 10p or below:rotfl:.

In an ideal world yes but finding anything for 10p wonky or otherwise in either of my stores - well hell will freeze over first .

Hi bargainqueen :A
Mine are rather simple and I use same for cake or muffins/cupcakes - I just use a classic Victoria Sponge batter, with the zest of a couple of lemons added.
Then when the cake/muffins come out of the oven, I gently trickle limoncello on the top until all absorbed.
To get a crunchy top like a lemon drizzle cake, I mix the limoncello with granulated sugar before pouring on top. The limoncello soaks into the sponge, and the sugar will solidify on the top when the sponge cools down.

Lucky you having "a few" bottles



:rotfl:

thankyou looks easy enough for me to attempt.:Di make my own limoncello,1 bottle of alcohol makes 4 bottles.:)
lovely meeting of the nw covern today and we didnt cause to much chaos in waities.:rotfl:

Has anyone else had an email from Wyevale garden centers?

Its a £5 voucher to spend on anything but only valid 12th to the 14th of October.

You need a valid Wyevale card so I need to did mine out to see if they class as valid.

I downloaded the voucher and to me it looks like a standard pdf voucher - the postcode ends 3617 - is that the same for everyone?

"We’re giving you £5 to spend on anything in centre this weekend – and here are some great ideas to fill your autumn garden with the brilliant colours of berries, bark and foliage plants. Discover the intense reds of acer or pyracantha, smoky purple of cotinus, shiny bark of silver birch and the heady scents of sarcococca or viburnum. Plant now and these striking shrubs and trees will last for many autumns and winters to come.
Simply print off or show on your phone or tablet"

Pondering now what to spend £5 on - our Wyevale is full of concession type places but I don't think you can spend it in those

So todays tally - a voucher for free socks worth £10 from Marks this morning, free Emmi coffee from the Co-op (which incidentally took me over twenty so I've done a withdrawal), Quidco bonus (more cat food from Wilkos and paid for with the cashback via paypal money I transferred across last week) (or it will be next February when it finally pays out) and now a free fiver from Wyevale

Not too bad despite the coal bill

I would have missed this if I hadn't been doing a final read back before dinner so thank you :T

Yet more cat food from Wilko and the kitchen foil - my orders are not very imaginative
