    well, it's mince or sausages so lots of choices, but nothing quite hit the mark in relation to a takeaway.

    I guess I just can't be bothered - it's all the washing up every day next day that is the depressing bit!!! I sometimes wish I hated cooking!

    Keema? yummy comfort food for this weather too. I love it but DS doesn't so we end up comprimising on tika masala.

    Popped into asda earlier for a few things and it seems so much cheaper than Tescos - may have to switch loyalty and see how I get on, will miss my points though.

    PAP - I ended up having an early night too, feel a bit better for it today though.

    Keema was one of the things on the list in my head, but I fancy chinese ;) (I'll try to wait until 7th for the New Year!)

    I've switched virtually 100% to Asda. I use the free delivery codes as well to save on the petrol.

    That's why they run loyalty schemes like that. Not got a lidl/netto/aldi near you?

    I don't spend much though (use lots of scams for bonus points) and will still go there for the petrol. We have a lidl but couldn't do the week's shop there. It's good for bits and pieces though.

    Why? What's it missing?

    Just on the party thread until the witching hour...

    It went all innocuous after I left... :whistle:

    You should join in - good, clean, family entertainment.

    it's a bit hit or miss really. also difficult to buy basics - there's a lot of pre-cooked, ready meal type stuff and branded stuff but tescos has a better choice for healthier cereals etc. I did go in last week though looking for the electric waffle maker (just what I need:o ) but sadly none available.

    I was there early on but got kicked out and gave up! do you mean you didn't notice me in my spangly boob tube and lycra trousers?;)

    i met a friend in town and didn't spend too much, only essentials, i've also managed to source the remaining stuff for my stationery at the cheapest possible price so i'm really pleased, just wish i had it here now i'm really in the mood to continue doing some so i'll make the effort and do some scrapbooking instead.
    Been a nice day again weather wise, very cold but completely dry and no sign of snow which is always good.
