Went to a food industry supplier shop that is reducing stock to specialise in just cakes & cake decorating. Everything else was discounted. I spent ages wandering around picking up bits and pieces. I got a lot of stuff, but the most interesting things are a 28cm chef’s frypan, a springform with a glass base, a specialty bread tin and a lid for my (decades old) bread loaf pan, all excellent quality. Saved heaps and very, very happy. In fact contemplating going back next week in case I missed anything.  ;D ;D ;D

Hally, I am beginning to love your iPad and its quirks.  Keep them coming.

CP63, great purchases.
Natmum I was given a nespresso machine for my birthday in April. I love it to bits. It leaves my old coffee machine way behind. My trouble is now limiting myself to one a day from it.

Hi Cookie
Who made the limit? Do you have coffee police over the pond? lol

Oh Yes, I know if I had a nespresso machine I'd find it hard not to have 3 before I left home every morning.  They cost too much for that!!

It is a self imposed limit DD. I love the idea of coffee police though. I have a few other coffees during the day but they are instant. Just trying to keep the caffeine down a little.

Well I'm one of a few that just can't take to coffee at all. I have never liked it. I'm a total tea drinker and the occasional hot chocolate. The TM makes a wonderful hot chocolate.
