Yay! That is definitely something to get excited about!  I've just had my roofer over, it's so much better when it doesn't rain indoors.  ;D

One day, I hope to experience this "doesn't rain indoors" phenomenon you speak of.  :)

It's brilliant!  Unfortunately here it doesn't usually last very long!  ;D

Butterfinger.  *drool*  So jealous!  ;)  :D 
PM me your address!    My corner shop started selling American candy and I asked about Butterfingers.  The shopkeeper made a huge deal about calling his supplier and special ordering butterfingers and ended up with an entire box.  I like butterfingers and bought a few, but now I feel responsiible every time I see the box full of butterfingers not selling....
I'll be happy to send you one

Put me and my husband down for two (one each)!  I can Paypal you, or figure out how to use whatever payment method you prefer.  No rush on it.  If you get them, just let me know how much and where to send the monies.  :)

The parcel has been received!  (actually, it was a few days ago but I have been caught up with some things this week)

I wasn't able to upload a pic when I got the parcel, but I've finally gotten the energy to do a file transfer to my computer from my camera.  So here are the items I've selected from the parcel!  DH was like, "WTF is Velveeta?" and I was like, "Just you wait."  The Poptarts are long gone.  I'm saving the ranch for a picnic later this summer to have a dip for some fresh veggies.  I have a weakness for those small cute erasers, and also for knitted critters/mini plushies.  :D



Who's next?

Ooh, I would turn that Ranch packet into artichoke spinach dip following an "American recipe" I found in the 2000s.  Sour cream, cream cheese, drained frozen chopped spinach, artichoke hearts, ranch seasoning packet.  Bake until hot and the top starts to brown, garnish (or in my case, smother with) diced tomatoes, and serve with toasted baguette slices.  Man... could really go for that.

Oooooooh, actually, that sounds even better than my plan.  Mmmm.  I could definitely go for that.

That sounds amazing. I can't even find plain artichoke hearts here, they're all marinated in things that make me itchy.

I don't have the itchy issue, but I have kind of vaguely looking-but-not-looking noticed the lack of plain artichoke hearts.  But since I didn't have all the other ingredients, I didn't worry about that one too much.  (I never used the little block of frozen spinach they sell in America before this recipe came my way, but now I noticed it's not available in this form over here... I'm not sure how it translates to the big loose bag of frozen spinach here...?  And we all know about sour cream here vs. the US.)

I can't manage the prep. They are a very tough veggie and my husband won't help.

Yeah, I can't be bothered with it. A lot of work for very little reward!  ;D
