Last night large pots of extra thick double cream were 75p in the Co-op.If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing1 -
A friend picked up some of these for ?£1 each, expire in July. Christmas pud not my thing but beautifully packaged I have to admit:No man is worth crawling on this earth.
