I noticed a small leak coming from the radiator in my daughter’s bedroom this morning. I fiddled with it a bit and it turned in a very big leak worthy of the attention of a plumber. The offending part, hidden from view, had...

Fleur That's lucky! Something burst in our neighbours' house while they were away and caused a lot of damage; they had to move out and didn't get back for over two years! I'm worried because our houses were built by two brothers at the same time so whatever happened...

Fleur @DaddyEvil Well I tried it - it was OK. Basically it was quite nice but I could take it or leave it. I'll let the girls eat them; they are the big consumers of chocolate spread around here too.

Fleur A lot of chocolate hazelnut spread is eaten in this house, often on toast. But not with butter though, that just seems horrible. But in the interest of science I'm going to try a hagelslag sandwich now!

Fleur Yes I have noticed, but I rarely buy them anyway. You might think that with the price of treats like this going up, it might help with the problem of obesity, but apparently not - both are going up in parallel!
