The FastDay Forum

Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you! It was not too long a post at all - I enjoyed reading every word of it over my lunch break (here in the U.S.).

Enjoy your shopping and Take Care!

Yep, both the Jaffa Cake and Salted Caramel ice creams were absolutely fab.

We tried to get a passing child to insist on ice cream for breakfast, so we wouldn't look silly eating ice cream in January, but we just had to front it out!!

Sadly I have not had my dinner yet - hubby's not home yet but I will start chopping the veg for the stir fry soon - will make it feel like it's getting closer...

I think it might be worth travelling from York to Abingdon for those 2 ice cream flavours. Just googled it, it's only 192 miles. I'm not a big ice cream eater in general but I do like homemade farm shop type ice cream - there's a fab little place in Harlech in North Wales that make all their own, gorgeous!
