    Anyone know what happened to the daily chat thread? It went missing when I was half way through posting! :confused:


    Maybe it got removed as it was full of pics of men??? nah surely not, nothing unusual there!!

    I've just rung the architect again about our plans - he was out to lunch, but I left a message for him to ring me back to see if there is any news on when we will get them.

    I don't like to chase people up too much, but it's over 2 weeks since he said we would have them now. :rolleyes:

    You don't have to cancel Spud - there's an option for 'one delivery only' :j

    Mmmmmm I'm tempted by the picnic box :cool:

    Would you have bought the picnic box normally though Spud? I looked at it that I would have bought the veg anyway, so this was just a cheap way of getting them. But I didn't want to buy something that was over and above what I would normally buy, because that would have negated the saving.

    Not sure if that makes sense or not. :o

    Of course, you could just look at it as a treat though. :)

    No, you're right. I wouldnt have bought those things normally - especially now as we're dieting.

    I've just realised I'm really quite fussy in the fruit and veg department. There are some fruits I cant eat due to odd allergies and in the veg box, there are courgettes that I've never tried :o

    I chose the baby box, because although Natasha will eat anything, the stuff in there was a better match for what we would usually have bought.

    You can choose your likes and dislikes, to try to prevent getting anything you wouldn't use - although that's how I ended up with redcurrants!

    Still, I think I have discovered something new that I like - crackers with light philedelphia and redcurrant compote.
