    Eat them :D.

    Intending to just take a handful a day and add to other fruit, cereal and yogurt for brekkie. Nom nom nom :T.

    Lazy start to the day - up early to see Mr GG off to golf but had a little nap :) and then lay on sofa reading book :T. Also been doing some research on possible adventuring ;).

    Almost had an 'accidental' moment yesterday :eek:.

    Worn out by the morning's activities so off for a bath :rotfl:.

    hehehe, do keep us informed! Nearly had one myself a couple of months ago, wass really keen on a new development but when I went to see it, it was awful, thanks gawd. Such a shame though as the builders have spoiled what could have been a fantastic opportunity!

    No accidental purchases to report :D.

    But if I wasn't planning on naffing off to Spain I'd be buying a 'pre-loved' house and asking that nice George-the-dishy-architect-off-the-telly to redesign it :). Came up with a cunning design then realised you couldn't get in the 2nd bedroom :rotfl:.
