    Hedgeman said he'll knock something off the price as he got the debris all in one load not two. OH will be pleased.

    Yesterday's headache has gone.

    Mother is feeling better after yesterday's tummy upset.

    I still have a few left of the top-class chocolates OH gave me for my birthday on Friday.

    He also treated me to a toboggan ride which I'd wanted to try ever since we moved here. (Not on snow, it's a metal track like an overgrown playground slide and you get towed up to the start.)

    Oh it’s a safety thing! Thought it was an early Easter joke. Wonder who thought that up? Hope the eggs were just shells otherwise the “yolk” would be on you!

    Talking of Easter jokes.  ASDA are apparently selling Marmite flavoured Easter eggs!

    My daughter was given one of those about 3 years ago KT. Had a strange and unusual flavour to it, not as strong as marmite from a jar.

    I might be in a minority, but I still don't " get " salt in caramel!! I've never , in the last 50 odd years eaten caramel and thought " if only this was saltier"

    At a dinner party recently we had poached apricots stuffed with clotted cream and shavings of dark chocolate sprinkled with sea salt and it was all absolutely delicious!

    I used to like those peanut-shaped sweets with the chopped up salted peanuts in the middle.

    In London. Keen but lazy.

    We saw some of those on a stall in Bury Market on Saturday.  Didn't buy any tho.

    The ones you can get now aren't so nice. The old ones had butterscotch on the outside.
