    I like the sound of the thorntons fudge!!!

    2 weeks before DH's accident a friend of ours went under a lorry and lost both legs, we sat and had a chat about how strong your marriage had to be to get through something like that and joked that if it happened to us we'd have to divorce immediately just to give people someting else to worry about.....funnily enough we've not mentioned it since :D (said friend is now up and walking on his new legs and went back to work last week - he's been such an inspiration to us)

    I think you never really know how strong you are until the rubbish hits the fan big time - Pooky is a great example of that :)

    Oooo exciting Pap - is it a present for her?

    Certainly Becky :j

    Yes Becky, its her birthday on the 25th and I brought her a hand blown glass rose (her name is rose) while on holiday but wanted something else. She adores fudge and turkish delight and at £5.99 it was a real bargain. Only prob is it has christmas trees on the box and its out of date the 28th of Febuary, neither matter though :) I didnt realise you got as much as you did in it ~

    Fudge bar ~ 69p
    Milk choc fudge ~ £2.49
    Strawberrys and cream fudge ~ £1.69
    Vanilla fudge ~ £5.50
    Choc smothered vanilla fudge ~ £5.50
    Fudge raisins and toffi-chocs ~ £2.75

    = £18.62 :eek:

    Thanks Elfen - I was a PA in my pre-kid life so no worries there.

    Beannie - no - they're gabapentin.
