Stompa, can it be used alone, or do you find you need a couple of pillows?

Do you mean side-by-side (since it's quite small), or one on top of the other? FWIW I have an ordinary pillow underneath to make it a bit higher.

Ok cheers Stompa. I was referring to one on top of the other. I think I'll seriously consider buying myself & OH one.

Here's some of the good stuff from Aldi IMHO. We get most of our basic stuff there

Fruit and Vegetables
Fresh Vegetarian Pizza - but now v expensive
Yogurts
Wine
Ham
Diet Cola although Tesco Diet (not Value) even better
Filter coffee - but Quality Save cheaper and better
Pouches of Pasta Sauce
Thick Slice Wholemeal bread - but expensive
Easy Cook Rice
Whole Chickens
Cumberland Sausages but didn't like the more unusual recipes
Flavoured couscous
Most things really

Didn't like
Chocolate fingers
Toilet rolls - these smell unpleasant when first opened - we were about to get the tiles up until we realised what it was
Filled pasta - nothing special - dried plain pasta's better

Bought some cheap spaghetti hoops from lidl yesterday- kids wouldnt touch with a barge pole, sauce horrible. Tried some sausages in beans couple of weeks ago and were ok but a little too salty.

Like the ocean trade fish fingers 15 for about £1.29, can get some cheaper but these have marine stewardship council badge for responsible fishing.
