So who's expecting or has already received packages from home?

My Mum brought our stuff with her, she went back last wednesday. I got selection boxes for everyone, lots and lots of PG Tips and a big box of Milk tray (which I already dug into :o)

It's rice paper money. I used to love it as a kid and it used to be in pounds, now it's euros it seems.

Me too...fruit and veg are a real no no. As for the rest they wouldn't have been a problem.

I guess the only thing the Fedex guy told my mom to take out when he picked up the package was the scratchings she was planning on sending.

I used to love Boosts. I was reading something about them a few days ago...they also are sold under another name (can't remember what it is :o).
