    so young, must have been COPD as that covers most of the nasties.

    Can anyone let me know how to make a FOOLPROOF crumbly shortcrust pastry for sausage rolls and mince pies...I am useless at this and know there must be a trick somewhere that the Elite use ? !! xxx

    It is not so much the ingredients as avoiding handling it as much as possible, I actually use a food processor for this pastry to bind it quicker, and I always chill before rolling out.

    I use 375g plain flour
    260g butter
    175g caster sugar
    1 large egg

    Even then I get mixed results, sometimes if can be melt in the mouth, sometimes it can seem a bit solid.

    I limit it to three re-rollings too.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    So two days to add to a new account and hopefully more winnings - or do I risk adding to an existing account and changing to HSBC as my main card ... if only I had known about this before. Must read up before signing up :o.

    This is getting too much, I cannot keep up with glitches and offers at the moment. I could do with time off work :D.

    We signed up with a different visa card then about a week later found out about hsbc so added that card too, set it as primary and now we get two types of envelope for each transaction.

    As the HSBC offer ends tomorrow I have set up a new Droid account - the HSBC game has appeared but not the Droid Pay game :(. I have then added the HSBC card to an existing account but the HSBC game does not appear.

    I am not sure what triggered the Droid game to appear on the second account - has anyone worked it out? I am loathe to delete the app and re-install in case the prizes disappear, though I assume these are saved in the Droid Pay cloud?
