    I’m in the Beanie and INOD club too 👋👍
    I remember going around to my mil-to-be in the days you had sandwiches and tinned fruit with carnations cream from Sunday tea. In my house we always ate roast meat from dinner with salad in our butties….I nearly gagged on sardine sandwiches 🥴 never tried them since and I’ve no intention of doing so 😂😂
    Well done on the losses Seaside gal. You’ve done amazingly well. You should be proud. 
    You’ve had a busy time. How rude of the 18 year old…..I wouldn’t be sending any more presents his  way. But that’s my cut off age for pressies unless it’s a special birthday.
