Ghostbusters 1&2 on Blu Ray from Tesco for the great price of £10.

Must add that its the brand new mastered in 4K versions.

So only £10 for both films is cracking as these deitions only came out a couple of weeks ago.

30th anniversary of Ghostbusters this year and 25th of Ghostbusters 2.

Temperature alarms for fridge and freezer, after the freezer door was left ajar overnight, ruining most of the contents.

Don't have any direct evidence, but it's certain that house guests left the dishwasher door ajar the night before.

But that's just a coincidence, surely?

A wide cast iron reversible griddle for £14 delivered.

Attachment 25787

I already have a smaller cast iron griddle pan but I need something wider to cover two burners at the back of the hob rather than one larger at the front when cooking big steaks and the accompanying extras. Should also help the extractor hood to handle the smoke better.

Description says non-stick but what they really mean is AFTER you've seasoned it like a wok. It's a basic cast iron jobby.

I'm not a coffee nerd (that's my wife's job) but we are now sourcing the freshest roast beans from online roasters and the taste difference between say Taylor's brand and something from http://ravecoffee.co.uk or http://www.bellabarista.co.uk really is like chalk and cheese.
The fresh roast beans or their fresh ground coffee is sublime and the branded supermarket stuff does taste quite old/crap.
