    Thank you katy, it is a relief!

    In amusing news Approved Food sell lucky boxes. This means that when you buy food from their site you can buy a box of random items that could be anything, it only costs £1 so it is usually worth it. Mine has just arrived and among other things (like perfume!) I have 5 unlabelled cans! They could be anything! I am stupidly excited over some unmarked cans...

    It could be Beluga caviar! :D

    Believe it or not Approved Foods had caviar on their site for a very cheap price a while ago. My best buy from them was quite a lot of saffron for a ridiculous price, I would never have been able to afford it otherwise.

    I have threatened WaSp with dinner made purely from unlabelled tins (it could be dog food).

    Hahahaha! I am trying to persuade WaSp that whatever is in them we eat for dinner. He isn't enthusiastic. I shall open them shortly and insist just because it's fun!

    Tins of peaches. It's always tins of peaches.

    Happy birthday Calley - any surplus cake, chuck it this way - my oven's broken so can't make any at the moment and am getting withdrawal symptoms.

    Quote of the day from parent, after teaching Gitdog to high five - "he is getting better, isn't he? I almost enjoy having him now." (This after nearly 2 years of Gitdog sitting!)
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Hmm, I reckon there will be some peaches in there.

    I also don't think they would be allowed to sell mystery dogfood. I've got every confidence in AF and I think they would be careful about selling food not fit for human consumption (ie dogfood) in a way where it could be mixed up with human food! I think WaSP would be safe having his supper from the tins. :D
