    They look gorgeous BUT unfortunately there looks like there's a fair few strawberries in there .... I'm allergic to them! (very annoying as you've no idea how many multi-packs of yoghurts etc have strawberry ones!)

    Hopefully! I've never really looked at frozen fruit before :o

    mmmm these look promising ETA link not working for some reason - it's "black forest fruits - Our juiciest forest fruits make a trifle or cheesecake truly special. 1 of 5 a day per 80g. Blackberries, blackcurrants, cherries and Morello cherries" (Asda)

    They also have packs of raspberries so could mix these in too!:D

    Gah, seriously, I should just stay in bed!

    It was -5 when I set off this morning (yes, MINUS 5!!) and it was -3 when I arrived at work. But, on the way here, my windscreen washer squirters weren't working!!! So, my windscreen slowly got more and more splattered and I was just hoping and hoping I'd make it to school without any trouble, as, typically, this was the one morning where I didn't have a bottle of water with me.

    Added to that the fog which meant I couldn't see past the end of my car bonnet very well, and it wasn't a great journey to work....!

    Anyway, I'm here now, supping a cuppa before the madness starts, and wishing I was still in bed under the duvet.

    It'll be a NSD today - I'm going to make sure of it! I've brough spicy parsnip soup with me for lunch, along with an M&S mini chocolate teacake, so all is good. It's parents evening tonight, so goodness knows what time I'll be home...

    Thank goodness it's nearly the weekend.... :o
