Talking of Coles, i have aquired yet another addiction to my long list. I highly reccomend Gelati Italias, Lemon Sorbet. I'm totally hooked and on my 3rd tub this week :scared: :o

Really, I'll have to check it out I love lemon sorbet :D

I warn you, its highly addictive!! I dont normally like sorbet, i prefer "bad for you" ice cream usually, but bought it trying to be a good girl, now i dont want anything else. In fact me and Mr Lush fought over the last few spoonfuls last night :D They do a lemon and lime one too which is nearly as good.

We drove into Asda's carpark the other day & drove out again - it was ridiculous! We decided that as it is a 24hr supermarket, and Steve doesn't finish work this week till 11.30 ish every night that we would go straight from his restaurant to Asda as it would be quiet then....... BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - they have decided (in their impudent wisdom LOL) to CLOSE the bloody 24 hr Asda from 12 Midnight to 6am to stock the ruddy shelves!!!!!!!!

So we are now going (3rd time chuffing lucky) at 6am tomorrow morning!

ASDA, 8am this morning I thought they had declared a nuclear war :eek: :scared: Sheer greed and bloody madness over here in the UK. Hardly a parking spot to be seen and unable to get through the ruddy doors for piles of swede & sprouts.

All I needed was some Simple soap and fresh bread as my relo's are catering this year, thank goodness :D

Well I had Tesco direct delivered to me today. I was expecting there to be quite a lot of things unavailable and to have to go to Sainsburys over the next couple of days but Tesco had EVERYTHING on my order. So well done to them. I even had a good 5 minute chat with the delivery guy about us emmigrating. :D My local village grocer has a loaf of bread and some milk on order for me for Saturday so it's just a case of send Alex up there to collect and pay for :D

We nearly had to buy another suitcase to transport home all the green Coles bags we bought whilst we were over there :D (as a family, we're easily pleased!!!)
