rak sa_ngop Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Pickling spices about one quid a small box. Easy to buy distilled white vinegar, dill and sea salt here, which with a small thimble full of pickling spices you can make your own pickled vegetables. So much easier to carry and cheaper than buying in the shops. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are seeing different people all the time, I guess that isn’t a danger. I suggest you just tell your partner that this is what you like and stop that annoying habit ...just like you probably don’t agree to only sniff kisses? Na mate , i only do short time , bonding ? , what ever next . Your in need of a good steak n kidney pie , with mash and onion gravy .

Emdog Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 This is fun. Ibuprofen? Aspirin used to be hard to find, haven't looked for years as I brought lots... I'm a Yank & miss Dr Pepper. Wife brought me some UK made from Singapore. UK mix not quite right compared to USA made. I always bring coffee (being Yankish) and guitar strings. I find those pods reprehensible on environmental level. It is not that hard to make a good cup of coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxxper Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Might want to just stay at home if you're going to bring all of that stuff with you. Most things you can get here just a little more expensive.
