I am fine thanks and due in November - getting excited already!!
Did anyone else think that bubble gum with the tattoo tasted like the smell of germaline (either that or i am totally weird!!)
You can still get toffos even the ones with the different flavours in!! loved the treacle one best!

Bod you are wierd - i know it was the same colur as germolene but def did not taste like it.... I loved the treacle toffos too - I have not seen them about here for a while .... I do remember the fruit flavoured ones ... banana was good. That reminds me do you remember the chocolate bananas with a bright yellow fondant inside? I always end up craving sweeties whenever I come to this thread..... My lad was born in late august so I carried right through summer too - take it easy girl. Mademma

Becky just back from Denmark/Sweden trip and have to say the chocolate is not as good as the stuff here .... no wonder you miss it so much. If I had known where you were I would have brought you lots of treats. Only went as far as malmo in Sweden so prob nowhere near you anyway. mademma

Oh my goodness!!!! I work in Malmoe!!! Now you know what I mean about the choccies huh!?, they´re not bad but they´re nowhere near as good as good old British choc! How was your trip to Denmark/Malmoe? Did you enjoy yourself? How long was it you were over? Don´t know if you Guys remember but I told you at some stage through this thread that I was dieting...well I´ve now gone down from 75 kilos to 66 kilos! (I can´t for the life of me remember how to work that out in stones..etc..) but it feels like a lot! I realise I´ll never be stick thin, I´m a curvy girl! Hope everyone is ok! Catch you later! Love Becky! ;D

Was visiting different after school settings - it has been good fun and very interesting. Well done on losing weight - nowt wrong with curvy girls .... just check out all the great statues and paintings renaissance artists did ... all very curvacious. mademma

Hey Bod just heard your good news. Is this your first baby? If so it will change your life forever. I never knew it was possible to love something so little soooo much. You take care of yourself. Put your feet up as often as you can. Keep us posted on your progress.. We will then have a baby Shmoo and a baby Bod.A little Shmooling and Bodling! haha ;D
We get sweets in Scotland caled liquorice comfits which sound similar to bullets, but instead of having chocolate on the outside it's a kind of coloured hard candy shell. The jaw breakers were called dare devils and burned your mouth something terrible. I also loved fizzbombs. These were little round hard fizzy candy sweets. The Jubilees are what we called Thistle pops. These are great in the summer(not that we get much of a summer here in "sunny" Scotland).

Hey everyone! Just finsihed my lunch but am craving chocolate now after reading all those posts! Was getting ready to post www.aquarterof.co.uk for all of you but noticed that someone already had! I love that site! I'm always buying stuff off of it!!!! Don't know about you lot from other areas of the UK but you Scots girls will remember this - Highland Toffee Bars!!! I loved them just about as much as Irn-Bru and Wham Bars!! The only thing was they stuck to your teeth for ages after!!!!

Boy! Do I feel awful!!! I am so sorry Bod, I hadn´t read your post telling us your wonderful news! I am soooooo sorry! CONGRATULATIONS!!! It must be a wonderful feeling, pregnancy and then becoming a Mother, the hardest job in the world, but special! You make sure to rest and look after yourself...I hear someones expecting and I worry myself like a Mother hen! How are you Shmoo and little Mary? Hope that you are both well and that little Mary is feeding well..etc.. I am unable to have any children of my own, but through you new mums I am able to feel what it must be like!..and it doesn´t make me jealous or sad just a warm feeling of excitement and happiness for you. I live very much by the theory that if it was meant to be, then it was meant to be....look after yourselves as yuor little ones really are treasures you know.

Aww thanks Becky. I'm sure between us Bod and I will keep you cooing for a while. And I have to agree with you on your theory that what is for you won't go past you. We tried for over 2 years before we fell pregnant. ;D

Bod I haven't seen a fizz bomb for many years, but I think you can get them on the A quarter of site. And as for 10p mix ups, my did that bring back a lot of memories. Thats when you got loads of sweets for 10p. Nowadays you pay 10p for 1!
