    Good evening

    I heard the word cake :D

    I had free cakes from the Co-op.

    They had a big display stand of balloons and very large cupcakes promoting the new card. Unmanned, so I asked a passing SA what the cakes were all about. Got told to help myself, so I did - went and got a bag from the produce section. Choc cupcake and a vanilla one and a gingerbread man. :D
