Ooh, ice cream. It's seven weeks since I last had ice cream, which was the last time I went out for lunch. I must consider buying more.

I now feel the need for ice cream too - that's essential right, not a luxury?! Tomorrow's walk just might need to pass by Sainsburys in order to stock up, it all died in the fridge freezer breakdown and hasn't been replaced as yet!

I will spread some happiness now, and tell you both that B&J - which may just be the best ice-creams in the world in my humble view - are on sale in both Sainsbury's (£3.5) and in Tesco (£2.5).

Thanks, although Carte D'Or wins for me even if they did stop my favourite cherry flavour, also thinking that I need some solero in my life

Just finished the tub of M&S Percy Pig ice cream. It's very moorish.

I second the love for Carte D'Or. That or Haagen Daz. Though I am partial to Ben & Jerrys when I go to the cinema, whenever that next may be!
I'm avoiding ice cream binge by keeping the freezer full of other things so the ice cream doesn't fit. The result is that my stash is only two Cornettos at the minute.

Pack of 12 Cadbury Creme Eggs for £2 at Sainsbury’s 😁
Couldn’t resist and bought 2 packs as not many left, now only need the self-discipline to make them last.

I love Creme Eggs! Bought an Easter Egg with 5 in last week which I've resisted so far, but that may not last as they're on my mind now.
I'm one of the lucky ones who's been able to save money this month, so treated myself to some new pyjamas and both seasons of Smash on Amazon. The Jeremy Jordan obsession is only slightly unhealthy I think 😁

Bluebells...
and I don't mean the few you have growing in your garden, I mean the massed profusion you see in some woodland. I always find this a breathtaking, magical sight that raises my spirits enormously. I've just finished doing a 5 mile walk in Swinley Forest which is owned by Her Maj (Crown Estate) and there is one such stunning display, right next to Bagshot Park (Prince Edward's gaff.) Now is the time to do your bluebell walk but don't delay - they are usually only around until mid-May - you won't regret it.

My god! Weeks without ice cream! 😱
How have you managed?!
That reminds me - ate the last of mine (dairy-free) last night, must add it to the shopping list. Discovered the other week that my local corner shop has a Roar brand of vegan ice cream that has hemp seeds in it - chocolate brownie flavour, proper tasty, can’t get it in Sainsbury’s.

M&S now have 75% off easter eggs and my local store has hundreds still. I resisted temptation though. To be honest I like whats in the eggs but the plain chocolate shell is a bit boring, so even though it's a bargain I still wont bother.

Woohoo! Several years ago Catnip books started to republish a series of books I loved as a child, number 11 of 12 came out Dec 2015 and since then I've been checking every so often for the final one - have emailed them several times and never had any response - and had pretty much given up hope. Happened to have a look on Amazon just now and it came out in January of this year. Very happy bunny now

Bought some magnums today so that will do my ice cream and chocolate fix for today. After all it is a weekend and we are entitled to a treat!
Still got easter eggs left as we bought ours when on offer and also some cream eggs and mini eggs from Tesco after easter as very cheap prices mmm.

I still have a few books from when I was a child, and a couple bought as an adult because I hadn't been able to get them originally. The price had gone up a bit: from 20p to £4.99.

I just bought a Coolhaus ice cream sandwich for later. It's two big cookies with ice cream between them. Definitely something I can't finish in one sitting! cool.haus/product/packs/sammies/ |
