Went yellow sticker hunting in Tesco this bank holiday afternoon. There was a load of chilled stuff, but not over much of any real interest - mainly sarnies (bog standard e.g. chicken, ham, that sort of thing) and weight watcher-type ready meals. Plenty of fruit, veg, bread and ISB stuff though.
Did manage to more or less get what I wanted / needed, but not made easy by the sudden reappearance of "Big Hair", a grabby regular who I haven't seen since last August.
Apparently she was doing another Tesco out Cambridge way because the reductions here weren't generous enough... 
Am sincerely hoping this is just a one-off because she really makes my blood boil with the way she pushes and snatches. 
I think her personal cleanliness (or lack thereof) is also part of the strategy... 
Picked up pork chops, steak, venison meatballs, prawns, breaded haddock, a lentil dip thingy, savoy cabbage, tomatoes, mushrooms, romaine lettuce, spinach, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, tangerines, mangoes, avocadoes, bread, toasting muffins, chocolate croissants, a cherry pie and some cream cakes. Shared my pickings with my lovely 90 year old neighbour.
Oh, and I got some fillet steak trimmings off the meat counter, which the girls have very much enjoyed.

Sorry, I've not travelled on ICE ICE baby.
Does Seat61.com offer any advice? That's normally my go-to site for all rail-related shenanigans.

Photography never paid off like that for me. (Well, yes it did, but the less said about that there, the better.)

Good place to start, that's for sure. Superliners on the City of New Orleans? All we rated was pre Amtrak cars (Heritage) in a mile long train, going home from Uni.! (1980's)

I saw the ultimate yellow sticker the other day, an LP Barbeque Grill, which had fallen over and had a broken handle and a dent, from 199.00 to 38.00. Didn't buy, as I am leery of LP ever since I had a grill with one of those cheap Chinese flow regulators fail and try to burn my back porch down.Went yellow sticker hunting in Tesco this bank holiday afternoon.

Mmmmm, well I did it for a fair while - until reasonably decent digi cameras became cheap and consequently my skills and equipment became far less of an asset than they originally were. Got to the point that people would be happy with crap shots for free than have to pony up for something decent from someone who knew what they were doing. I was on the verge of packing it in anyway when ill health meant I had to give it up.
As for the other, I have loads of good friends who are marshalls - the chaps and chapesses you see trackside in the orange romper suits clearing up drivers' messes...

Not a bad markdown, but if it's not something you want to use, fair enough
When it comes to BBQ, I use an old galvanized bucket, charcoal and a rack on top. Does me fine for the odd batch of saussies or burgers.

Just boiled five eggs for 20 minutes. Two to eat soon and three left in the still hot water to harder boil for a salad tomorrow.,

Why not take a Ray Mears with you as he doesn't appear to be busy on TV at the moment?

sitsplats reseviert (can't spell or speak German) was once point out to me as meaning reserved seat. Didn't help as I thought it was my reserved seat but I was in the wrong carriage.
