    Cheese never lasts in my house :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Doesn't last long in our house either - I could hide a cool bag though

    Belated & happy birthday wishes to all those i missed, hug to those who want / need one.
    I am looking at last minute holidays abroad, meaning leaving in the next 2 weeks. wondering if any1 here has any good sites for last minute hols, have tried the normal holiday sites.thought it was worth asking here. tia

    good idea - put in may to August in the search box and it comes up with offers in date order starting from May 16th onwards ..then ring them up and see whats the best price they can offer you ...

    I love cheese but too much doesn't agree with me so try to be good - it's the kids that are the cheese fiends

    Do I not have to keep cheese refrigerated? Yes, I have a cool bag - great suggestion, thanks :)

    The cheese in the plastic packs does need to be kept cool, but this does just the same, though you do have to remember to change the cool block/s once a day or so.

    Waxed cheese does not need to be kept in the fridge. Just needs to be kept relatively cool.

    Hi all. Been mia for a while. Real life and holiday prep has taken a lot of time.
    Hope you are all ok.
    Can someone let me know which site is in use now for posting pics please. DH has been taking some lovely snaps and I'd like to post some for you.
    We arrived at our usual caribbean holiday destination, after a good flight, to beautiful weather. Hot, sunny and gentle breezes, with overnight showers. Several boozy beach days with old school friends have been enjoyed :rotfl:
    VT has arrived to join us, just for a week. :jAs a true elite she found a really cheap flight, so couldn't not take advantage of it, and arrived yesterday. Lots of things planned for the week she is here. I'm sure she'll post about it when she gets home. There will probably be bear pics at some point ;) lol.

    Zippy, had you ordered flowers from Waitrose florist before? I am wondering if this is why they confirmed one of my orders (strangely they had not wrote to say that they had cancelled my other orders).

    :):):):)

    It is basically a GC for £2.45 to spend today only.
    20p off for using travel mug.
    What Costa sizes mean:
    http://www.plainenglish.co.uk/news/947-our-coffee-cup-overflows-with-jargon.htl


    Possible prices:
    https://uk.menuwithprice.com/costa-coffee-menu/


    So for hot drinks using own mug you get £2.65 value against what you buy.


    If you want anything else but more expensive, pay the difference.


    And no harm and trying 2 GCs at the same time, they can only say no.


    Watch out, I bought a coughee priced at £1.95 and the suspected manager serving me asked how much Wontwo voucher was for, I answered honestly "up to £2.45" .I watched the till display and the cheating so and so amended the price to £2.45 .
    If someone does that to me again I am going to ask for receipt to put the frighteners on them and maybe mumble "trading standards" :rotfl::rotfl:


    I always use two :)

    Good Morning all :)
