Having discovered that you can get 7 tog duvets yesterday, I popped up to the John Lewis in Ipswich to pick one up and then went to the Waitrose next door for a few supplies. How can so little cost so much!

Having said that, the bacon baguette for tea tasted lovely and their 'Essentials' mature chedder cheese is lovely

I was going to guess £30 for two adults.

That's pretty well much bang on.

Yeah, something along those lines.

Bit late to this one. I'll guess at around £15 with all the yellow stickering you do. Or £45 if you include tea in all it's varieties.

It used to be between £15 and £20 a week with the stickering, but then Tesco stopped marking down the stuff by 90 or 95% - mainly to put an end to the total bunfights that used to go on, and IMHO rightly so. Some of the really grabby folk have buggered off elsewhere because the stuff isn't reduced enough anymore.

Now, the most they do is 75% unless they've got a job lot of something to shift.

Just had some excellent food advice given.
Don't pick up and eat raw slugs or snails as there's a chance of infection."

When did anyone last do this?

Hmm... I've eaten my fair share of escargots, I suppose, but raw? I'll pass.

I'm not that keen on escargots btw, I've eaten them because that's what was served me. I think they're a waste of good garlic butter.

I've just bought that Italian magazine that I was watching on the Bay of E.

A bit of digging has suggested that apparently, it's actually quite rare. The magazine was a sister publication to Autosprint, but was nowhere near as popular, ergo a significantly smaller print run. It's also picture-heavy from what I can gather, so hopefully it will throw up some photos that are new to me.

You pays your money, you takes your chance...

Right, bed for me. Nunnight one and all xxx

My dad once pretended to one of my childhood friends that he ate a worm that he picked up in the garden, so she proceeded to do the same but didn't pretend!

Morning all. Up early as Pink, [cat] has to go to the vets for her op. No kittens for her! Very hard trying to explain why she is neither allowed out or have anything to eat. Think she's starting to get a little pee'd off as She's putting claws out!

Knowing the wide range of erudition here, I wondered if anyone was into Airfix models & if so, what was their recommendation for buying paint online.

When l made my Airfix models there was no such thing as "online" or laptops or computers of any sort , not available to jo public anyway. So we went to a place called a shop which sold all the stuff needed for model making
Hard to believe l know !

I have an important letter to send this morning. I'll take it to the Post Office and pay for Recorded Delivery, I think.

Oh, and MrsPete had to bring the bin in yesterday as I was at work early due to being on a training course.
