Valli

I bought four boxes which was half their stock actually...
is it an open freeze then box them up when they're solid job?
and they look in good condition IYSWIM not like raspberries or strawberries which always look 'ragged' at their use by date...

Greenbee I think your list of things to pack sounds quite good – are you allowed on the plane with all those toiletries in your hand luggage tho? You basically need: things to travel in there and back, things to wear while working, things to wear when not working – gym stuff, things to relax in and things to wear if dining in the evenings, nightwear. Things to do in the evening, shoes for gym, work, travel, and relaxing, and toiletries. Sounds like you have got it covered!

I ADORE suede - I like leather but suede:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

when I was a kid I had, from an aunt, a christmas gift of a pink suede purse and I LOVED it (and I don't like pink...)

The backpack isn't on here... but you get the idea... I mean - how do you choose (I have to confess to also having the 'puppie' bag in fuschia )

ETA - valli - yes, freeze as for raspberries. Rosepink - all the toiletries are under 100ml, and it's amazing what you can fit in the regulation size clear resealable bag - the security staff always have a giggle about how much I can fit in!

Wow, the stuff on there is gorgeous, and there are no prices! :eek: It must be mega expensive!
I knew you would know about the regs for flying, glad you've got it sorted!

Hi :wave:

I didn't get much past good intentions today. DS2 came out of the taxi fast asleep (I didn't see him at all the last two nights), we had a cuddle on the sofa and I promptly fell asleep with him.

Then I did some taxi runs for DS1 (fitted around making tea for DH) and realised that planning not to go anywhere on bonfire night wasn't going to work out.

DS2 and I went to the pub down the road to see the bonfire. They didn't sell hotdogs, so we had pie and peas instead (pie and gravy for DS2). Then we sat in the car to watch the fireworks, because DS2 likes the colours, but hates the noise. I was amazed he wanted to go, actually - in the past he only wanted to watch from inside the house, even though you don't see much that way.

I've not felt great since we got back around 8.30. Had tea and vegetated on the sofa. Will drag myself through the essential dailies and do some urgent paperwork for school, then bed.

Updated list to follow tomorrow.

Good night!
MrsC. x

You can always put a bag or two on your Christmas list . Just in case... although they don't list stockists which is a bit strange.

Rose - they aren't cheap, but they're not particularly expensive when compared to some of the more well known brands.

Suppose I should go and put some of that stuff in a suitcase :rolleyes: I've written my luggage labels (parents address and phone number).

Evening everyone. Today I have been out x...s shopping with DD then we had lunch out. I hate trailing round the shops. I like to go in get what I need then out. But DD has to look at everything. I did enjoy the time with her though and thought this is what memories are made of as we had a good laugh.

Clean washing put away.
Dailies done.
Kitchen and bathroom S&Sed.
Will finish bathroom list tomorrow.
