Well my kids have been hinting to their nan about the stuff they miss, so she gathered a few things together , boxed them up and sent them... It took 2 weeks to get here. At a cost of £44.67 :eek :eek :eek :eek
Poor mum.... She probably fell through the floor when told. I think the amount of the sent goods amounted to approx £10 in total.
So you may want to leave some funds back in the Uk, with the desired person who gets the job of sending the goods to the desperate kids. :laugh

If you have had your post redirected it's not a problem. You get the person in the Uk to post it 2nd class to your old address and bingo - it arrives less than a week later. Certainly makes up the cost of the redirection very quickly :clap

Whatever you find here it is never quite the same as what you get back home.
We are yearning for Malaysian Nescafe! It sounds to trivial but I can't start my day without a good cuppa! The Nescafe here just smells and tastes so different.
