    give me plain M&Ms, peanut M&Ms, possibly almond M&Ms, but as for the rest, well that's just getting too "fancy" as my grandma would have said!

    My grandma always had a bowl with M&Ms and a Bowl with spanish peanuts whenever she was having a family dinner.  When she passed I got one of the bowls.  I still remember the crackly peanut skins at the botom of the bowl.

    Those are the kind of memories that usually end up being the most precious.

    Hi all.  Joni, hope you're healing okay.  We don't quite "bounce" as much anymore - more like a plop!  LOL.  Ainm, glad DS made it back okay.  Did he bring any non-edible souvenirs?  I used to OD on Swedish Fish.  They are addictive and I have to only think of the thousands I'm now paying the dentist to keep me from buying a bag.  Haven't really been a big M&M's fan although if I started would probably finish that bag as well.   Meece, the skins at the bottom are the best part.  Hey seyla!

    Night all.

    DH away this week - I have exclusive control of the TV remote!!  But I'll need you lot to tuck me in or I won't be able to sleep.

    On the M & M front - haven't opened the pretzel ones yet.  Here in Ireland you can only get choc and peanut. I remember the peanut butter ones from when I was on holidays in the US 10 years ago!! The dark choc ones sound yummy - dark choc is my favourite.  The swedish fish are one of those ones you just keep popping into your mouth - so I gave them to DD to take away with her!!

    Patoo - my DS spent over 3 months in the US and all he brought home were the sweets, the lucky charms box, an AT & T mug he got a present of, 3 plain white t's and a pair of Armani Boxers!!! Oh and a yellow A4 pad!! Does it show that he was on an extremely tight budget!!!

    When I was on a tight budget and  went out of town on business mtgs, I used to bring my kids home the shampoo and paper and pens from the hotel as their souvenier.
