It should count as 3 of your 5 a day if it's got carrots, cabbage & onions!!

At least they turned up before you ended up going to Asda! Hope you enjoy you're tea - you've waited long enough for it!

Re: Christmas meet numbers Hi katex! Are you going to the Accyweb Christmas do.......it'll be a laugh to meet up with you again! We can dip, sway and loll together!!:beer58:

Has anyone on here claimed their charges back from their bank? I went through the trouble of calculating all my charges over the past 6 years and even completed and printed off the letter from http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/cgi-bin/viewnews.cgi?newsid1141050760,24632, but I haven't done...
