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.
XXNevertheless she persisted.3 -
Idid see somewhere that long life milk tastes better if it is cold.

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.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

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 😁Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Very well thank you or should I say muy bien gracias 😆 Am hitting the quite difficult in depth grammar stage but surviving. Maybe I’ll be able to put it into practice next week, there’s a little very Spanish coffee shop we like to visit and it will be nice to converse with them properly this time.Cherryfudge said:

We found that while we wanted to practice our French in France that they wanted to practice their English on us. 🤣🤣🤣Sun_Addict said:

Don't think we ended up using much French. We want to use more next time though.
They do appreciate you trying .5
