For crochet, you don’t have to sew…. You can crochet the squares together.  Look it up on u tube. It’s much easier.

Asda do their own version if you can’t find the one you want.

One thing I am hunting for is a chcoclate bar that a friend likes called Dairy Crunch I think its by Nestles but none of the big supermarkets seem to stock it I tried Poundland and no luck there either.is it not sold anymore I wonder ?

Definitely seen it on Amazon. But only in multi packs. However I think it has been discontinued in the UK. I liked it, it was like a chocolate rice crispy cake but heavy on the chocolate.  

I find ritter sport chocolate to be a good alternative and they do a similar cornflake chocolate bar.

Lidl do their own version of Dairy Crunch. Last time we had some the packaging was blue

Am I the only one finding the urge to buy, more difficult to ignore at this time of year. I have left 2 online craft baskets at the checkout after reviewing whether i need tbe items. There must be other crafters like me who are itching to buy. I keep thinking of lovely new sofas that i want to replace my threadbare ones and it is helping. Still no heating here yet. It is getting harder to get out of bed in tbe morning but once up extra layers and hard work seem to do the trick. I am having the urge to spring clean strangely. Enjoying lots of photos and lovely memories hidden in the back of cupboards whilst sorting.
Hope you find the dairy crunch @London_1

I may investigate the possibility of getting a couple of buses to Gravesend from here during the week, I have a bus pass and it won't be as though I will be buying much else so a trip out on the bus might make a nice change if the weather is dry.Saves using the car and petrol

JackieO - unfortunately the forecast is for rain every day this coming week!  Quite honestly I don't mind travelling by bus when it's raining - I prefer it to driving myself!

I’m up North but I saw some in my local Post office yesterday! Might be worth calling your local PO and shops before heading further afield. Good luck
