Hi if you mean squash - we have found that Baker Halls original is low calorie. I have to say it is not free of sugar but is has the least amount of sugar that we can find. Plus it tastes good

You can buy bisto in NZ, dunno about granules tho. IMHO tho, REAL gravy (like my nan made) was made from the juices of the roast meat, flour,water, a tspn of vegemite and a shake of pepper, stirred and gently heated on the stove.

and garry is sitting tucking into steam pudding and custard as we speak...
Yummo...I'm coming to your place for dinner Has it got golden syrup in/on it? DELISH!

Pardon the seppo interruption, but it sucks how a tiny bottle of Tabasco sauce goes for NZ$4.80 here and the same product in the US is only US$0.98.

:curse:

Sorry, back to your normal UK channel.

I agree about the Weetbix.... its pretty gross. I had Ready Brek again this morning.... I'm trying to limit myself so the box lasts me longer but it tastes soooooo good!

I threw or gave away all my baby stuff so I had to buy from scratch again this time. Bits and bobs I couldnt find in the shops I got people to send over from UK for me. Tell you what I miss..... going into Tesco or Mothercare and seeing a huge rack of Vests or All In Ones all in the proper sizing.... and good quality. Some of the stuff here falls apart as the top loader is so harsh. But I am learning where and where not to buy stuff from now. .... and dont even get me started on the sizing for babies here!!
