for the last couple of years I have been sending a calendar for Christmas to New Zealand to one of my new found aunties. I try to find one relevant to our family places. Last couple of years I spent about £8 + postage of about £5 when I have added photos and letter. Went to the market today and one jumped out at me priced just £3.99. Has pictures from Lincolnshire including Louth where my step grandfather came from. Really pleased with it.

Mary Buy yourself a juicer. Clemintine or satsuma juice is yummy. Since I have had a juicer I never throw any fruit away . Not sure spending £50 to save a fiver is value for money though !

Never thought of using my juicer - mind you have given a far few away to trick or treaters- But I do love clementines - they are nice and juicy. Mary in Spain xx
