    You should go to one yukki it is well worth a look and can have some good fruit and veg!! Some of the tins are good too. Chocolate is not great though apart from coco hoppers!!

    Well all the food is finally going down. And my dd is on a sleepover and the oh is out with the boys, so just me and my ds in for the night.
    mm - how about a digital photo frame for your sis. You can get some really good deals now on ebay and buy a sd card too and put some photos on for her.

    I gave up on one poll ages ago I keep meaning to go back to it but forget.

    The digi frame is a lovely idea. I keep meaning to get one but don't know where to put it.

    I resisted the offer of a takeaway tonight and cooked and used a new packet sauce for sauce so another review I have to write tonight lol.
