I've probably forgotten all the things I missed at this point...I did buy some genuine Cadbury's flakes over Xmas...and guess what they weren't as orgasmic as I'd lead myself to believe :(

though forking out for Xmas crackers was worth it just to give the kids a little novelty and a taste of British tradition :D
