    I'm in! Will be an easy one, kitchen half done, and not being too fussy, have just inherited a bit of money and decided we will replace kitchen and bathroom, both desperately needed, so the hunt for new ones started today, but the kitchen will be a hard choice, its tiny and need to maximise storage and keep it bright as my neighbour's huge tree blocks the light!

    That is why they have 'reclosable info' :p :rotfl:
    :rotfl: maybe Cadbury weren't so silly after all :p;)

    Hip flexers are really playing me up today so going to wash up and go to bed to see if lying down helps, sitting here sure doesn't.
