    Ohh remember them yes, cute little bottles and it always tasted so much better than the stuff your mum gave you
    The first time we said hello, was the first time we said goodbye. As the angels took your tiny hand and flew you to the sky-you forever left us breathless. RIP my beautiful granddaughter :(

    We used to take the 'milk shake' straws to school - I never made 'milk monitor' though. :o

    I remember at my first scholl back in england (lived abroad for first five years) to get the milk you had to make up 6pence out of a handful of coins put in front of you before you could get your milk..i didn't have a clue what 6pence was and failed..i got my milk though, but i think that was the start of my downfall towards BR....sad story isn't it!
