    Yes I work in Buxton. :D

    WHERE IS IT?? DO THEY SELL HIGHLAND TOFFEE??? yum yum.

    Where the war memorial on the hill is. At the bottom of the hill, before you go round the corner to the crescent building which is being restored with a Lotto Heritage grant (posters all over it). In a little arcade with a blue glass roof. Any idea where I mean?! (I'm worried I'm confusing two different places!).

    ETA: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&q=buxton&ie=UTF8&split=0&gl=uk&ei=EYW5SYjKOsvN-QbhwY2-BA&ll=53.258109,-1.915387&spn=0.003421,0.009613&t=h&z=17 - in the building above where it says "The Square" :D

    Don't know about the Highland Toffee, but they had soooo many different types. There was a whole wall of boxes of sweets that you'd get for 10p-ish in newsagents - they would probably have been there.

    Elle, have you had a look at Graze?

    http://www.graze.com/index

    First box is free, second is 1/2 price.

    Today I received white grapes, cashew nuts and limon cello (lemon soaked raisins, walnuts and dried cherries) :drool:

    xx

    Oh yes, I did look at that a while ago.. I'm a bit picky though and I'd want to know what I was getting - don't you have to tell them your likes and dislikes and they pick for you? :o

    That said, I would never have picked dried mango cos I didn't know I liked it until today!

    Just thought I'd show you a scan picture from yesterday:
    image0-Copy.jpg
    Sonographer tried for ages to get a picture! He was face down, but after a bit of poking managed to get him to turn just enough to get a quick look at him! Looks a little odd because he has a hand in front of his face.
    Stay-at-home, attached Mummy to a 23lb 10oz, 11 month old baby boy.

    Think I know where you mean. I often shop on spring gardens but usually go further down where the 'real' shops are. Will check out the corner when I get back to work on my lunch.

    Thanks :)

    Wow Sami... That was slightly juicy lol... Mine is my best friend from high school... We were best mates for 15 years... She is Aimee's Godmother... And her son is the son of my now ex (understandably!) boyfriend... She told me when the baby was 6 months old (A week after Aimee's 2nd birthday)... Have seen neither of them since...

    Tine, don't they do salty liquorice fish in Ikea?

    Just put Aimee's bike together... Hubby's now blowing up lots of balloons with number 5 on :D
    oh her, as if you'd want to be her 'friend'!!
    I've also ignored a girl that was a complete cow to me at school but she must have got the hint coz I didn't need to block her, I like to think of her as I always imagine her reaction to be when she found out I'd spent most of a big end of high school party snogging the face off the guy she'd had a massive crush on for ages!! :rotfl:I wish camera fones were more popular back then coz my friends who saw her reaction said her face was a picture!:p

    Well mum n dad have been gone for about 30mins! frankly I think i would have rather just knackard myself moving stuff by myself now! My mum slagged me off from the second she walked through the door :mad: apparently she was trying to talk some sense into me:confused: she can be such a cow I couldn't look either of them in the face and had to hold back tears the whole time! so just had a proper wail of a cry as soon as I shut the door :( I really wanted to go and wake up Chris for a cuddle (OH is away 2nite and I'm in a mood with him over this!) I think bubs knew coz was wriggling around.

    Just watching Jade's wedding, I don't trust that Jack he has shifty eyes!
    While they were actually in the ceremony it just seemed a bit fake, they kept checking that the OK photographer had a good shot in stead of looking at each other like love sick puppies (like me n OH did at our wedding!:love:)
    her poor boys tho the older one is so upset :cry:
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    *hugs* Sami! But I'm confused.. feel like I've missed something! What did you need moving and what's your mum being nasty about? :confused:

    I missed the wedding thing - sent myself an email from work to home to remind myself it was on and still ended up watching Celeb Apprentice! :rolleyes:
