    So cool to read, of course Miep's post caught my attention... I will miss the liquorice and cheese I think, but now I know there really is a not too expensive solution for that! (Wonder if we could import a few kilo's of both ahead)

    Totally smiled at Moorf's story and I have to agree, us mom's save so much stuff, I mean you just never know, and you can't just throw it all away, can you?

    The 2nd was a diary that they filled in each New Year from the year I was born, which included a pic of me and told that years story of my life.. my naughty deeds, my achievements, my illnesses, my hobbies, and other "funnies" and events.

    I treasure them both dearly.

    The only think I didn't get was my milk teeth which mum still keeps in her jewellry box!! :eek
    Thats sounds wonderfull - what a great present to give to you.

    My mum loves pork pies.. she used to get them in Marks & Spencers before they closed down in Canada.. if they have M&S in NZ, perhaps you can find them there?
    I'm a big vimto fan myself.. I buy it locally at an Arabic supermarket.. it's imported from Saudi Arabia (regular though - not sugar free).. perhaps there's such a supermarket near you that stocks it..
