    Fay - thanks for the info about the garlic, really helpful :)
  • Lillian - Thanks very much for the website, will def have a browse later.

    Smamfer - I really appreciate your advice, thanks. My sis has been there twice and my mum once so I have some idea of the expense. No doubt it will still come as a shock though, espeicially as I drink in a social club! Will def have a few drinks as we're getting ready to go out!

    Cassey I used to live in Chandler's Ford (about 18 years ago)- Bodycoats Road :D

    Yes guys, lets not forget our meet up some time this year. Also i saw the paper and thought of you lot, now that the new Ikea is opening on the 19th.

    Was grateful for no snow our way, kept pleading that we wouldn't get any so i could do all the lovely things i had planned. Me and OH have had a nice weekend together and its been lovely catching up with him.:D

    Just sad that he has to go back already, only came for one day, however it cost him £110, so i figure thats enough of a valentines day present!!
