Re: 4 MORE SLEEPS TIL MY FIRST TRIP BACK TO THE UK!
When I go back, I always get me Mam to bring my slippers to the airport.
They are lovely and comfy and they are so much better than the slippers I have here.
In the interests of doing due diligence for BE, on my last trip to the UK
(~2007) I made some pertinent excuse and caught the bus to the local Sainsbury. What would I find? The forum had led me to believe that there would be treasures piled to the ceiling.
I had a bit of a lookaround. I asked an assistant whether the 'Buy One Get One Free' (BOGOF) applied to the little midi stereo they had and she rolled her eyes and reiterated the point: 'Bug Off'.
I purchased a bag of Revels and caught the bus back...filtering out the orange centres and discarding the coffee ones.

Can only manage 10-15 minutes at my machine at a time... But now you come to mention it... Could allow myself a BE Break..... Trying to work out whatto do with the Crapenters star that I cut the blocks and pieced into half a DOUBLE carpenters star by mistake.... Thinking I may make it a design feature... With run up the rows together and have a thunk about it....

I like the coffee Revels. Can't eat the toffee ones though as my crowns might get pulled out. Not that I've eaten them for nearly 3 years.
