    Sack of Maris (sp) Piper potatoes. Mum bought them thinking they were good for boiling but they're only good for chipping apparently. Saves me money on potatoes!


    I'm sure there's a few other bits I've forgotten.

    Maris pipers are my favourite pots - a good all rounder - fabulous roasties, chips and mash.... I always have maris pipers in :D

    IN: Nothing.

    Pending OUT: 37 items on eBay - I've spent literally all day listing and taking photos, and my back aches! (DH turned into NSDH today after having a go at me - and I was nearly in the OUT pile! Grrrr. Shouldn't get so wound up, but it's not easy.)
