Oooooo Chinese - Yum! Very rare these days but really appreciate them now & we have learned to make our own which is 1/2 the price & plenty, but not the same!!

Dont have that many petrol stations here, can pretty much count how many we have on one hand!

Don't bother too much about Chinese - Indian is my favourite for a takeaway.

I think I have maybe become to used to shop made ones as it been years since I went to a restaurant like that. As unfortunately the ones where we are keep on ending up in the papers.
Hubby is from West Yorkshire & tells me you have not had a Indian meal till you have been to one there! But he still won't take me back to where he grew up - bulldozed down some years ago for many reasons!

You can't do the reduced stuff though and you can't check out the fresh stuff. I do get that from Asda and my meat comes from the local butcher.

I get 10% off at Asda as daughter works there and I'd rather have quality than points to be honest.

That's the bonus of living in Cornwall near the moors. No takeaways or shops!!! Stops me spending too much on food. I think in the last 3 months we've had a subway sandwich which I picked up on my way home from Mums. Somwtimes I could kill for a chinese but just looking at the view from the window makes me realise what I prefer!!

Sounds ideal kazza - I'd swap the takeaway for a view in Cornwall anyday!

No Kazz it's the peace I want, I live next to a very noisy church at the minute, they have irish functions with amplified music and we're always at war. x

I like my music but would never inflict it on anyone else.
