    AAA card

    Just wanted to add- we saw a discount booklet at Belz for AAA members- we asked the lady there if we could have it as we had our AA card with us- she looked at us as if we were mad and said she'd never heard of the AA! We didn't get the discounts....

    Raiding American supermarkets!

    This year we stocked up on: Cheez-it's (a bit gross in my opinion but others liked them!) Jalapeno flavour Pringles (yummy- they seem to have lots more flavours than us) White chocolate mini peanut butter cups Peanut butter Oreos

    forgive me while i have a rant

    I can really sympathise here- definitely keep the diary but bear in mind what Miffy said about selling- I do think you are now legally obliged to declare if you have had any "differences" with your neighbours to any potential buyers. We had a bit of a celebration last weekend as our horrible...

    London Dis Meet At PH On Sat 13th May - I Cant Come.

    Hi, Sorry not been around for a while- I can still make it if we go ahead but agree it might be fairer to re-schedule seeing as the others worked so hard to organise it- any other thoughts....?

    I was joking!! ;) (well I thought it was funny anyway!)

    James Blunt Concert

    Hi Stacey :wave2: I was lucky enough to get front row tickets when he played in my home town last October- and he was wearing the same green t-shirt that he's wearing on your pics! He was fantastic- one of the best live shows I've heard.

    What is your favourite wine?

    My fave is whatever one happens to have the big red Sainsbury's sticker saying "£2 off"! :rotfl: I don't think I have what is called "a sophisticated palate" when it comes to wine- I love most whites but admit I can't tell the difference between a £1.99 bottle and a £20 one.....I do like...

    Chilli Hot Chocolate!

    I bought some of this the other day from one of those small specialist chocolate shops- very strange- definitely an acquired taste but I really like it. Anyone else tried it? If you like spicy food and chocolate you must try it! My eyes were watering by the time I got to the end of the mug but...

    KitKat Chunky Peanut Butter

    I tried one of these last week- anything new in the world of food and I'm there- even if it's something I don't really fancy I just have to know what it's like! I thought it was OK- not quite peanut buttery enough for me- maybe a wee bit dry too- maybe I need to give it another chance though.... :)

    Good vibes needed please - *UPDATED*

    Good luck! The assessments are often multiple choice questions, so hopefully not quite as scary as a "proper" test- you'll be fine!

    The Games!

    I've been watching too and YES i have to agree about Adam- he looks so skinny and weird but I guess it's supposed to be muscular and fat-free? He looks malnutritioned to me.... MC whatisname's vault was hilarious- like you say Snookhams- his 360 degree turn was 50% stumbling around on the mat...

    Yankee Candles- again!

    Coincidentally, yesterday I found a new shop in my local high street which sells Yankee candles! :cheer2: And they're not one of these stockists that only have a few varieties- they specialise in them and have all the flavours! (Well lots anyway) So I bought a tart warmer as I've have not...

    I-Drive/I-Drive South

    Thanks for the replies- it's not just me that finds it a bit scary then... Garry- it's bad enough in daylight on a sunny day I don't know how you coped with that but when faced with it you just have to do it don't you! I wonder really if I4 is the easiest option getting from the 192 area up to...

    I-Drive/I-Drive South

    Hi, Lots of maps give the impression that these two roads run into each other, but from experience you actually have to do a left/right/left complicated thing over another 2 major roads to get from I-Drive South to I-Drive itself....unless I am missing something and have been going the wrong...

    Yankee Candles- again!

    It'll probably happen one day- I'd have a go (in the privacy of my own home of course....!)

    Your plans sound great- have a fab Birthday! :sunny:

    Girly I know but....

    Debbie I think that's probably true- mine always seems to behave better after a vigourous blow-dry- the hotter the better! I know sometimes you're supposed to let it dry naturally in the breeze and all that, but it doesn't work for me.... In hot conditions I suppose you wouldn't want to use a...

    Yankee Candles- again!

    Thanks for all the recommendations for different flavours to try...I also got a Home Sweet Home car jar but I think it's a bit too cinnamony. I'm no good at this internet shopping- I like to sniff before I buy!

    Mike Baldwin - Coronation Street

    So sad, my great Aunt suffered too and it was awful to see... I was in tears when Mike broke down on Wed- I think Danny is really feeling guilty now, not sure about the evil Leanne though.....I hope Audrey finds out whats happening, I think she should go and look after him. I love Mike...

    Anyone else striking

    The last strike about pensions that was planned was called off as the Government agreed to re-open negotiations- however to no avail. So there is a chance it may be called off again. Joanne- I don't think teachers are affected, but teaching assistants are, and are likely to strike. I have...
