I prefer Marks and Spencer's Red Leicester and Spring Onion crisps as they contain potato, oil, cheese and onion. When I buy chicken it's free-range. Eggs are always free-range, and the fact that the supermarkets still sell "value" eggs upsets me. This weekend in a "top 10" conversation, I discovered that I have several weaknesses:

  • Nik-Naks (Rib 'n' Saucy)
  • Super Noodles (Mild Curry)
  • Jelly Babies

More MSG, artificial flavourings and additives than you can shake a stick at. Please say I'm not alone... or am I just weak-willed?

In other news, Henry is three months old today. He is all jabbed up now so can finally leave the house, walks are fun (for certain definitions of fun that is) as he continually pulls on the lead and is obsessed with cars driving past. So far we're averaging two random people talking to us about Henry on every walk...
