    That's 1 of my 5 portions a day in the Mango, 1 portion in the Mango liquer and 1 portion in the chocolate (made from chocolate beans - beans are a vegetable= 1 portion of fruit and veg!!!)
    I used exactly this logic the other day to explain why Terry's Chocolate Orange was 2 of your five-a-day (chocolate = cocoa beans = 1 portion, oranges = 1 portion, chocolate orange = 2 portions). Everyone laughed at me... :o

    I'm sticking with it though! :D

    Lol, I've changed it now! Do you really want one? If they have any in Home Bargains today i will get you one - they're only 49p in there.

    Just pm me your addy and I will post it off to you on Monday (when I am very definitely going to the post office before some of my other DFW friends who I have packages for shout at me for being so slow at posting things! :o)

    I'll let you know later if they had any left.

    Oh noooo! Poor you, in this horrible weather as well. Does it seem serious or just a flat battery or something?

    I'm thinking flat battery .... the engine is turning over but sluggish and slow and won't actually start. I don't know much about cars though. On our old car we had flat battery and it ended up being the alternator that was dodgy. Hubby is at work for another 20 minutes, so maybe get it sorted after that.

    Have you any Wet start? I had that problem in the rain with my old Carlton a few years back. I had the distributor cap and alternator arm changed and it never happened again.

    I've got a can in the car from back then - wish I was nearer to you I'd come and give your car a squirt!
