    Someone asked where to get root beer from but I can't find the original post. The larger tescos have them in the world food section by all the American candy and cereals, hope that helps

    WEECLICK oh what an up and down year you have had, your poor OH being banned from their own nans funeral is awful, glad you had a trip of a lifetime in egypt my DD1 is desperate to go but i dont want her to with all the trouble out there, do you think it is safe yet?

    Honestly there is no problems! Sharm is a tourist only resort! You arrive into a military airport and the main troubles are 9 hours away. Infact I'd say having lived in Belfast all my life Ive seen worse at home! :rotfl:

    Its an amazing country and we cant wait to go back! Just a case of getting another job for OH so we can save the pennies! Im just glad weve been smart and buying gifts throughout the year otherwise everyone would be getting a bag of oranges haha :rotfl: Still trying to catch up on the ever moving thread!! :eek:
    Life is what you make it.

    MrsHayes when I get him he will be named The Old Man.
    It was what my gt grandfather was known as.

    I am slowly getting the whole family.

    Greenleaf was the name of my gt gt gt grandfather and Esther was my gt gt grandmother.

    I wonder what they would think of me calling Stags after them :rotfl:
