I only bought a jamaican patty which was OK and cost a fiver. I thought about some preserve but everything was so expensive. I understand they probably need to increase prices to make a profit but £38 for coffee and £6 for soap. No thanksIt was odd. Loads of random stalls from charities trying to sign you up like Cats Protection League, RBL, Macmillan etc etc , some sofa's, teeth whitening ... really weird stuff. I did buy some chutney from The Carved Angel stall because their stuff is lovely but honestly, I didn't spend £20 it was that poor.
I saw John Turode walking through.
I’m a really bad person to buy for. I just like what I like and tend to buy it myself. However at Christmas and birthdays I always appreciate vouchers for M&S or Sainsbury’s because I love there. Also love a restaurant voucher. Maybe ask if there’s a hotel they would like a voucher for? Afternoon Tea?Need inspiration for fussy parents/grandparents who don’t like any of the typical things![]()

Oh balls I've planned to go Saturday.... already going to London on the 14th so may pie it all together if ritI do not recommend the Ideal Bome Show Xmas expo. For those who plan on going it’s rit. Rather plan something else for a day out in London or stay home!
So Mr A & I take this very seriously. We read the Good Housekeeping article on the best mince pies. This year Aldi luxury ones came out tops. Usually its the Iceland ones. They test loads even the really expensive ones like Betty's.Right, I want a conclusive answer. Which supermarket sells the best mince pies? I am yet to taste the Waitrose ones, but hear they are rated highly. The only mince pies i have tried are Sainsbury's ones, Greggs ones, Morrison's ones. Are they all much of a muchness?
Also on a side note, not sure where you are coming from but there were loads of cancelled trains and delayed ones. Due to flooding on tracksOh balls I've planned to go Saturday.... already going to London on the 14th so may pie it all together if rit
You didn't get caught out with that balls at mid afternoon where all the trains were suddenly cancelled did you? I did.Also on a side note, not sure where you are coming from but there were loads of cancelled trains and delayed ones. Due to flooding on tracks

I love Greggs. Booths are also amazing if you can ever get to a store.Right, I want a conclusive answer. Which supermarket sells the best mince pies?

My favourites are actually the Costco ones but I very rarely get them cos even can't eat a whole tray of the things.Right, I want a conclusive answer. Which supermarket sells the best mince pies?
