    If you start off thinking you won't like the French food, you will put yourself off, be open minded Missus. ;)

    I had frogs legs and snails in a French lesson at school many years ago and both were OK all you can taste on French food is garlic. :D

    I am sure any unsure meat tastes like chicken :rotfl:

    Snails are like a less chewy version of mussels but covered in garlic ;)

    After not being able to sleep and doing competitions most of the night, then getting rudely awoken by a fake phone call. I have a small win from yesterday to report, of some wax melts for my warmer.

    I also came across some competitions that may be use to those trying to get certain letters.

    No, I have not dropped off the face of the earth - I haven't won anything for 6 whole weeks!! :o

    Anyway, today a small prize turned up - a Charles Worthington travel size Ultra Violet shampoo. Now, which letter shall I cross off? U? :D
