    That's just wrong!!!!!! Adding anything else would just weaken the teeth rotting potential surely :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Thanks GG - yes, the treats were plentiful and she had a happy 5.5 years here with us :)

    We are busy prepping for our dinner party tomorrow. I've had to leave the kitchen because Mr MWC is using the mandolin... :eek: I don't like spurty blood :rotfl:

    I spent a small fortune in Sainsburys this afternoon but I came out with 2 x 10p/L + 1 x 9p/L off petrol coupons and 8 bottles of good wine :T
