  • The long life milk from Sainsbugs or Tesgogos tastes really nice, not like the stuff in the green and white cartons. I also pour it into the (empty)bottle of the normal fresh milk as it is easier for Mum to use and she doesn't know unless I tell her.

    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Sun + book + earplugs + gin = perfect holiday with Mr SA 🤣 Trust me I am SO ready for a break. I will miss my fur babies but DD will thoroughly spoil them, they won’t suffer, although they won’t get fed at 6am that’s for sure.

    You can freeze ordinary plastic cartons of milk ok. I usually have one or two in the freezer for emergencies. You just have to give it a good shake when it’s defrosted, but it’s fine for teas and coffees. 
    Your holiday recipe sounds perfect, sometimes a book, earplugs and gin would be enjoyable any evening 😁

    That's really cool! I would love to be so proficient with my French but I think I'm a way behind you. Enjoy those coffees!
