We love basil too, the smell and aniseedy flavour are lovely. The little jars are useless for me, they're gone after two uses, so I buy it in large 160g jars. Our daughter can't stand it. Sis

Are you sure John? That one's my favouite. I don't have a problem buying it from Asda, it could be your supermarket that's not stocking it anymore. Avril

Heinz tomato ketchup for us. It's actually made with tomatoes and not tomato puree. You can get low salt, low sugar version too. HP sauce is ok, but we much prefer Branston pickle, the original, not the tiny pieces. Anyone remember Pan Yan pickle? Avril

Once you get the correct strength Jane you'll be fine. If you're getting on well with the throwaway then it seems you will take to vaping quickly. Take your throwaway with you so they can see the strength you're comfortable with. Onwards and upwards Jane. x Avril

I've noticed the large rises in my weekly Asda shop too. Not so much per item, although I do notice the odd 20p to sometimes over a pound increase on some items, but it's more noticable on my total weekly shop. I make a monthly menu and follow that, it stops me overspending on unnecessary things and prevents a lot of food waste. My Gran taught me that way, and I've always done it, it works too. Having said that though, I still buy the same food that I normally do, I won't compromise on the quality of food I buy, and buy British wherever possible. Avril

Yes, it does come as a bit of a shock doesn't It?🤯 On the plus side though, I find it gives me the much needed occasional boost and keeps me young at heart. Have fun😉 Avril

Much better Bro. Hyacinth would be proud to serve that at her candlelight supper.😁 I like tinned spaghetti on toast too. We sometimes have it for lunch though, not breakfast. That's always weetabix and blueberries. Sis

Eerrmm 🤔.............. no! 😁 Sis

Kalos is right Jane, tomorrow you will be classed as an ex-smoker. Message to you from Frank. 'Vaping is the best decision I've ever made. Except to marry Av that is' (He has to say that as I'm typing this for him) 'I've been smoking since I was 14, and I never thought I would ever stop smoking cigarettes, but it was so easy that I never felt the need to have another, ever. I was getting the nicotine I needed from the vape, but non of the bad stuff that was making me ill. I honestly began to feel a difference within the first week, and could get upstairs without being out of breath. Yes I was that bad. I felt more relaxed knowing that I could have a 'toot' as I call it, as and when without having to worry about my health, the cost, and Av nagging me about it, that I found I didn't need it as often as I did. As a result the nicotine strength of the juice has naturally reduced and I dont feel the need to 'toot' as often. Good luck to you Jane. He doesn't smell like an old ashtray, and he can't stand the smell of cigarettes anymore either. Good luck from me too.x Avril

My maths teacher always called me Avril Angers, and it did too. Avril

Only if their tea was frozen😁 Avril

I remember seeing the name Randy Thom, sound director I think he was, on the credits of a film we had watched. Avril

The answer should have been skiing. She was very good and surprisingly the commentators said her name regularly without a titter. It's our unique British sense of humour I suppose. We have Bottom's and the German's have Chmelar's.😁 Avril

Emily Moore (also true) Avril

Probably not Ray, and it isn't something that I or many others on here would ever do. There will always be those who are never, nor ever will be satisfied, and love nothing more than complain and whinge just for the sake of it. On the forums they are entitled to air their grievances regardless, and I simply ignore them and scroll past. Avril

I'm slow this morning Phil, that's only just registered.🤣 Avril

Groundhog day here in my small corner of Sth Yorks. A heavy frost clear skies, sunshine and a very nippy -3c. No snow thank heavens, I hate the stuff. Take care. Avril

I do, but I'd completely forgotten about that. Bernard Cribbens was so funny. Charlie Drake was another. Hello my darlings.😄 Sis

I think your councillor must be a member of this forum. You said exactly the same thing. Avril

Why would a Homepride flour grader want to inspect a hole in the road bro?🤔 😁😉 Sis

We have the Marlbro Man to thank🤠 Avril

Or knowing you need a wee and wondering how much longer you can hang on before getting out of the cosy bed. Avril

I hope he waits until the weather warms up a bit or he could be out of work sooner than he expected😇 By 'eck, it's parky out there this morning, -3c here at the moment. It looks pretty though with a blue sky and the sun glttering on the frost. Take care if you're out and about and wrap up well. Avril

We didn't go to any of the islands. We went to Hua Hin, Rayong and of course Bangkok, but Northern Thailand was our regular destination. Beautiful people in a beautiful part of Thailand, and yes, very humid, but we loved it. Avril

Thailand is a favourite place of ours, and have visited many times. Which areas did you visit? Avril
