    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    NL, you're quite right, I've been doing lots of reading and research for my hols. We decided last night that we are going to go to universal so after discounting it previously I've had to do lots of reading, you tubing and hunting!

    My latest reading is on what Walmart sell :D and what I can buy there and bring home :cool:

    You just got me thinking then... To when we used to holiday in France many years ago... My bring back home list consisted of laughing cow cheese spread, bahlsen biscuits and milka chocolate from the hypermarche near the ferry port... So readily available in most supermarkets now but weren't back in the late 80's early 90's.

    Thanks for all the good wishes but as I'm a regular there I aromatically log on to their WiFi on arrival so may get chance to pop in again later.

    Good afternoon Elite.

    Just popped in to say hope everyone is well and the first post I saw was yours Di. Fair made me smile. Hope all goes well (not read back yet).

    Thanks zippy, I ordered one :)

    They were advertised in The Mail but they wanted my Sunday code :eek: and just pay postage but I'm saving for another voucher or something else :cool:



    FC nice to see you posting at this time of day. Pity you didn't manage to drive the digger but hey, you might get a chance at something else later on :)
    You could still have got it. It costs no points

    Qoc....Popcorn is the new crisps/chips over there too and there are some very weird and wonderful flavours you can get either as a sprinkles to go over freshly made popcorn or an oil to put into the pan when cooking...coconut was quite nice but plenty of others...didnt dare try or buy it but beer flavour was one we saw quite often

    have a look in the wine aisles too....about £2 will get you a reasonable bottle of something usually californian and thats always handy to have in your room !!!!!
