    I love this thread...please can I join in?...

    In... cous cous (and other shopping but that's now been eaten)
    Out... nothing, although it is sat there waiting to disappear to the charity shop (I'm a hoarder so it will take a lot of courage to take it over to the shop).
    If you aim for the moon if you miss at least you will land among the stars!
