Does anyone here buy a box of dates to eat at Christmas? My mum always did when I lived at home. Hated them, all sticky and that stone in the middle. Just seen some boxes in Asda so people must still buy them.

I buy them without stones. They are better in cakes.

I love the gorgeous, plump, sticky dates from Waitrose - the Medjool ones.... dribble!

I've actually been looking for dates yesterday and today. M&S had "luxury" dates, at £4.99 for 12. Sainsbury's had the same dates, plus some French ones which looked awful! Budgen's had none.

So tomorrow it looks like Tesco. I won't use the local ASDA because it has no "basket only" checkouts. The self service area has a notice "Up to about 20 items only"; what on earth does that mean? So it has a queue of full trolleys.

Ugh my mum bought some yesterday and today I forgot about the seed and bit right through it. Ouch, my teeth. But it tastes nice in the way that they don't taste nice?

I do. I buy the unglazed ones, because I have a person at home which has problems in eating and dates are very good for your health - they are rich in minerals and a bunch of them is a perfect meal substitute,

No ! Thank god !

She wouldn't be allowed on the internet, computer, tv .....
She would be allowed to read a book after I'd checked it out.

And no music that I don't like either.

No boys ! To the attic with ye !
