Blimey you know how to treat yourself NoMercy.

I will be having people round, though. I don't buy stuff like that in my everyday weekly shop.

I've quite a few treats but just for me a bottle of Warre's Quinta da Cavadinha Port...................

[Mick-Talbot]

Have you seen Morrisons wine offer?
buy a box of 6 and get 25% off even on the wine that already has 50% off.

[boxtops]

I'd like to know where I can buy Boulet d'Avesnes cheese, apart from a trip to London...

[craft1948]

I've never been to Morrisons, my friend used to work there and said it was crap.

[boxtops]

ooh no, crt - our local Morrisons beats ASDA into a cocked hat.

[NoMercy]

That's a good offer, Mick. Thanks for sharing.

I will cover the dates in choc myself, Boxy, after I've stuffed them with walnuts :-)

Woman after my own heart, Craft.

[craft1948]

Asda.........hmm.

[Zacs-Master]

You just showing off or what?

We're not really extravagant but I like sugared almonds and chocolate covered brazil nuts and some port and lemonade. A mum cooked Christmas (or any Sunday) dinner is a treat for me :)
