Drool!!! Do you know if they are a limited edition/special buy?!
They are a special buy!
Went to Aldi today to get these, and they didn't have them.
However since I last went to that store they've installed self checkouts. Happy days, it was worth the visit just to find that out!Has Aldi ever done art supplies before? Picked up the soft and oil pastels today and the metallic acrylic paints. Will try them this week hopefully and may pick up the water colour paints if the acrylic ones are any good and they still have some when I next go aldi.
I bought some coloured pencils a couple of years ago that were in black tins and they were brilliant - hope your paints are the same.
Oh wow the bakewell blondie on Lidl bakery is a bit good!!
Ooh I love Bakewell pudding, this sounds like the perfect thing to cheer me up! Think my old passport has been lost in transit while returning for renewal and I’m stressed AF 
I’m definitely sending my OH in search of one!The oil pastels seem nice. They blend and go on the paper smooth so would recommend them to anyone who enjoys art as a hobby.
Did you send it recorded delivery? I did mine 1st class and I heard I was getting a new passport before any acknowledgment of the old one being received
I don’t wanna derail the thread too much so I’ll put it inside a spoiler:
Yes I sent it Signed For which I think is what they used to call Recorded, unfortunately it’s not fully tracked so no idea where it is. I checked with HMPO and they haven’t received it as yet and still no confirmation of delivery from RM. I know these things can take a lot of time because of postal delays and HMPO being so busy but my partner renewed his 2 weeks ago and the whole thing went very smoothly and quickly, he had his new and old passports back within days of applying, which is why I feel like mine must be lost in the post and I can’t stop panicking. Just got to wait it out for a bit 
I wouldn't worry the same thing happened to me. It was received and a new one dispatched the same day. I would imagine that they receive the signed for mail as a bulk delivery and just sign a cover letter and then work their way through.I don’t wanna derail the thread too much so I’ll put it inside a spoiler:

The sugar cronut is back in lidl.......this time Chocolate covered
I got one of these on Friday As I thought it was one of my free bakery item offers. It wasn’t free and it was only ok. I am not a doughnut fan though.
I prefer a cronut to a doughnut, I dont really have anything to compare to because the lidl cronut is the only one I have tried. My son devoured his but hes a chocolate fan so anything chocolate will be a hit.
I liked the cro style layers.
Yeah I am trying not to worry too much, just kicking myself that I didn’t pay for next day delivery instead. Posted it Monday first class but still not arrived. Hard to know whether it’s lost or just delayed which makes me anxious. I wouldn’t care if it wasn’t my passport!
ANYWAY back on topic! Grabbed a couple of the Bakewell blondies today, they look a bit underbaked I hope they’ll be nice!
Are you just checking on your passport update page? If so I really wouldn’t worry mine didn’t update for around 2 weeks, I actually got my new passport 2 days after them confirming they’d just received my old oneYeah I am trying not to worry too much, just kicking myself that I didn’t pay for next day delivery instead.

No I’m also checking RM tracking as I’m supposed to get an update once the item is delivered - which as far as I can see it still hasn’t been.Are you just checking on your passport update page?

so sorry everyone for turning this into a thread about my passport renewal anxiety
