Tel,the number of orders you guys have put 'thru Chefs,in my eyes means, you all should have been the first to know about this deal.
Loyal customers should have received an e-mail notification containing the offer.Others companies manage to do it.

That George ! Is very true my friend :) I even looked on their facebook page and couldn`t see any posts regarding the offer :(

Congrats on 11 months trish, it soon flies by doesn`t it : You should have got it with the 20% off, would have saved you a few bob that :)
It would, and I did think about it ...just seemed a bit excessive to put a large order in just because of a discount! ;) I do sometimes use the AAEC discount code though.

Anyway - here's an unusual one for you: 'Gingersnaps' by Indigo: it's coffee and ginger biscuits! One of their Winter flavours! It's coffee first, and by the time you're ready to exhale, the ginger has joined the coffee. Not a hot ginger, so quite pleasant. I just tried a couple of ml to see what it's like - I'll try some more in the morning ...back with my Doughnut or Mint Choc now.

Well yes, and that would have been nice, I agree.

I saw nothing on AAEC, and could search Twitter without having an account, but saw nothing there either.
Still, as George said, the code worked! :)

I've always liked ginger biscuits (got some lovely dark chocolate coated stem ginger cookies from Tesco!), and like ginger pudding and chocolate covered stem ginger :)

Well - off to sleep soon, just checking through some paperwork so that I can sort it into date order tomorrow and start getting those pesky accounts done! Finding stuff and sorting it is the hardest part - the rest is just entering & totalling and then emailing it.
The bit I don't like is when they email questions after I send them - usually about something I haven't a clue about! :laugh:

Nite Terry!

I like ginger biscuits and cakes as well, Sainsburys used to do a ginger thins biscuit, which wasn't as hard as the usual ones, but like all good things, they suddenly stopped doing them, got six cans of DG Old Jamaican Ginger Beer sat on the floor behind me waiting to be opened as well :D

Why do supermarkets do that?
You find something you like.Next time you go for it they no longer carry it in stock.
OR the packet has those awful words "New Recipe"printed across it and they've ruined the product.
I've found the worse for this is Tesco.
Mini rant complete ;-)

Oh, I could rant forever over these things, changed recipe - Bird's Eye steak & kidney pies - I used to love them when they had the dark runny gravy, now they have gloopy light brown gravy and taste horrid, Iceland used to do a lovely double bacon burger with cheese in the middle - stopped doing it, then about a year ago they brought it back - didn't taste the same - so no one bought them. Aaaarrrggghhh!

Vapemail, my Dovpo arrived this am, which is strange
seeing as according to FT my Smart 20 was posted
6 days earlier, off for a play now :D
I had a red Smart-20 despatched on Dec 15th. It's showing as on it's way to an overseas country! .....probably on a raft! :laugh:

I used to love the red label Schweppes Dry Ginger Ale, and then it got replaced with the green label 'American' dry ginger, and now it's all the green label version - far too sweet and ruins the taste ..especially in a whisky or brandy!

We've had that too, and mostly with Tesco. Back in January 2012, we changed the way we buy food - husband found to be intolerant to statins, so took it into our own hands and began buying food with lower fat content. I can already think of four ready to cook items that suited us perfectly and tasted excellent, only to have them discontinued! We're not fans of mass produced chicken items, but now they don't have the Steak Bolognese Bake, low fat Lamb Moussaka, low fat Cod & Chips, & have replaced a few other beef or lamb ones with a chicken or vegetarian option.
These ready to cook ones are a very easy way to see exactly how much fat, salt & sugar we're eating in one meal, so we do use those 2-3 times each week.
On the plus side, they have a lot of fresh fruit salads and low fat yoghurts etc. and a very good Caesar salad! :)
I'll bet the 'new recipe' ones are where they can't screw their current suppliers prices lower so go somewhere new!

I don't like it when favourites disappear. I've seen it happen to a number of their best sellers.

Happens too often! It's not items that don't sell well either ....it's often the best sellers, so likely they want a fairly consistent sales pattern over the whole range! :(

Tesco do a few excellent ready to cook ones though that aren't too high in fat either: Finest Steak Ragu Pappardelle, Finest Slow Cooked Beef With Potatoes, & Beef Chianti with Rosemary Potatoes. There's not huge quantities of beef in them, so not enough to concern me, but enough to make it a nice meal. Finest Haddock Risotto too. All those are no more than 18g fat each, the risotto very low - looking at the Rogan Josh curry we used to get (Excellent!) that's 32g! :blink:
They're all nice for 2-3 meals each week.

I,ve only tried a single coiled orchid but it has fired from 5-18 watts

with a sweet spot at about 12w, the juice started to taste a bit burned

at 18w, at 5 w I could hear a sizzle but no appreciable vapour so I reckon

the chip regulates down ok

I'm not sure if the 510 connector is ally or ss, I'll find my needle file and test it

when I think on, the orchid threads all the way on with no binding or wobble

800mA input charge for this so no Apple adapters

Well FT replied to me regarding the piece of crap they sent me :laugh: Like trish and bob said, they have told me to find the least expensive way to return it, so i went on the RM website ( Thanks Trish ) and the cheapest is £12.84. So i used the snipping tool ( Thanks again trish :laugh: ) And sent them the attatchment :)

They did confirm that the Hana was DOA, cos i sent them a pic on saturday, with it showing `short` ! With the postage nearly being half the price of the Hana, i am hoping that they just refund me, but they probably wont :laugh:

Doing it that way they can see exactly what criteria you used for the resulting cost, so shouldn't be a difficult choice for them.
Glad you found it straightforward with the RM website calculator and snipping tool! Glad to have helped - and easier than going to the post office to find out! :)

I hoped they'd tell me to scrap mine, but they didn't.

I haven't tried that but it's described as: a complex blend of sweet and slightly sour berries, with a light hint of cool menthol - supposed to be a very popular one too. You may find you like it for a refreshing change, and it's only a light menthol!
