OMG...I think they have cloned my wife!! :biggrin:

[lordna]

Nando's is a favourite with my wife as they have rice!

[stevewool]

Nando,s was mentioned too but i sundenly went deaf when we walked past the place

[tiger31]

TJ fridays in cebu was just as expensive as in the U.K my missus nearly choked on her rice when she saw the bill and so did I lol

I bet you cant wait for pound stores to expand into restaurants :smile:

Steve's still waiting for the 89 pence store :xxparty-smiley-004:

[stevewool]

we have the 99p shop so its on its way

[Terpe]

My wife also like TGI Friday's, especially the steaks :yikes:

Last time we went the service was awful and steak was hyperpriced. Seems she has a short memory she's always suggesting we go back......................like you Steve I develop deafness and forgetfulness......

A BigMac meal seems like a good idea for a treat :xxgrinning--00xx3:
Don't mention KFC. I worked there as a cook in a previous life and know everything :xxparty-smiley-004:

When we lived in Japan my favourite was the 99 Yen shop (about 50p at that time)
Got some really great stuff there. Still using to this day.
I had an idea such a store would be a good business in UK...........too late :doh

[stevewool]

yes sometimes its crap sold in these shops but it amazes me when people spend pounds on some stuff when like we all say you can get it cheaper from these sort of shops, the busiest shop there is in derby is B&M you cannot get in the car park and thats every day, i hate the shop and i never go in but its always full

We have a B&M shop here in Northampton. Not really a poundshop. You really need to know your prices in there so many items cheaper in the high-street supermarket.
Last week I bought a sea-fishing rod from B&M complete with reel and line for £9.99
Previously they were selling them at £19.99

Nice bargain. I can easily visualise me casting out in the Philippines to bring home a beautiful shimmering fresh fish for dinner. :hubbahubba:

Money back on first big catch :xxgrinning--00xx3:

brought a sea fishing rod in Northampton, not many people can say that Peter, i hope it works well over in the phils , there would be no chance of getting your money back

Just couldn't resist it Steve....£9.99 for a lightweight sea rod, sea reel and line ....bargain.
I also bought some lures, feathers and flies at £1 a pack.

I'm planning to enjoy my life in Phils to the max...:Jump:

I believe our Dedworth is a fan.

Is it new Steve ?
Have you been before?

[stevewool]

its been open a few months in derby, we have been twice and both times its been very good, for me its just a plate of nice food, but i love the puddings, now Ems loves everything, the sushi is a must so she says,

[Terpe]

....... the sushi is a must so she says,

You'd better sample it Steve ...............

We both love Sushi :hubbahubba:

[stevewool]

well i am sure if ever you are passing or in the area it could be arranged for a few plates for everyone

[Terpe]

That's too tempting to resist....:xxgrinning--00xx3:
Better try to book an appoinment with my wife...........if I can keep her away from work :doh
She stayed on again this afternoon and tonight as someone was off sick :NoNo:
She needs to learn to say no

Seriously though Steve that sounds like a great idea....... I'll be in touch..it's already been too long since we met before.

[stevewool]

looking forward to it

[Dedworth]

Thats one of the main reasons I divorced my first wife ,she was a staff nurse in kettering and could,nt turn down more work it got to the stage where she was working nearly 7 days a week despite having 3 small kids at home .we did,nt need the money but she prefered to be at work .

[Terpe]

where abouts are you going to live ?

We have a number of houses to choose from all except 1 are ocean side.
We also have a place in Marikina City, Manila

Means we're lucky enough to be able to move around and spend some time in different locations.
We also have a plan to spend a couple of months each summer in Japan just sofa-surfing with good friends.

The one place we don't yet have a property is the one place where we will base ourselves.
Bohol.
But we're working on that. Bohol is the birthplace of my wife's mother so we have plenty of family to accommodate us and help us find a nice place to hide away.

:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Well.....that's the plan anyway.........

Once I get my permanent residents visa we'll most likely sell the house in Marikina.

Always tricky when there's a young family involved.

For us it works OK.
I'm retired so no fixed schedule to work around and am also available for together-times.

Just makes planning ahead for holidays etc a bit difficult.

[tiger31]

we have the 99p shop so its on its way A friend of mine buys stuff from the pound shop and sells it on ebay and makes a living out of it most of his customers are from eastern europe ,very strange lol

[Dedworth]

Just been to Wetherspoons for their Chicken Club night (Wednesday) - a superbly cooked bargain at £6.59 inc a drink. They'll be giving Mr Nando a run for his money.
