  • Wow no wonder you have Amazon on speed dial! Scotland is beautiful but I didn't realise it was that barren! No Sainsbury's bunnies no Waitrose buns! At least HC deliver 😲

  • Afternoon
    hope the afternoon speeds by for those at work.
    I had to have a hot X bun after all the discussion - just a regular flavour one for me with lots of real butter :)
    I have sold a dressing table on Fb so my bedroom decluttering can continue - i have started a bag for the CS.  
    I have a waitr0se near me and also a branch of the waitr0se of the north - shops aplenty here !  
    love Deni

  • I do love Waitrose. Mr M_F complains it's full of "snobs" 😮‍💨 he doesn't mind the nice food though!

    No Waitrose near here & the nearest Sainbugs is so far away that anything you buy is that much more because of the petrol to get there & I'm stuck in greater Manchester (until I win the lottery).
  • I always am a couple of days behind so conversations have moved on massively before i get chance to comment however not today 😊 Aldee also sell Triple Chocolate Hot Cross Buns and they are amazing!  Its at least 20miles for me to a Waitrose I never shop there! DH doesn't like them but me and my 2 boys are obsessed with them so its a fight for the 4th one in the pack!

    @moving_forward, there's one about 8 miles from me, it has a lovely cafe too - i had a delicious vegan curry there during veganuary :) I don't shop in waitr0se but it is handy to collect JL parcels from when i stock DD1 up with her expensive make up at xmas !
    @badmemory?

    I usually shop in t0sco and aldee for the lower prices and i've never had a chocolate hot cross bun!
