Definitly do not bring any meat or fruit or unpopped corn, nuts, honey - that type of stuff. All the rest of the stuff e.g. choccies and crisps you will be ok with. Its just if it is large amounts you would be better off to declare it and the chances are they will waive you through anyway. Its basically if you dont declare stuff and then they catch you, then your in trouble, so if in doubt just declare it. My dad came over in February and bought me over a box of 48 toffee crisps!! (all gone now!) and thats what he did and he was fine. The worst they will do is just take it off you. Thats what I have always done just to be on the safe side.

Didnt get to Sylvia Park today in the end - weather a bit nasty so think its a DVD day today.

Bermy Girl, if your able to fit in orange flavoured aero onto your list, that would be sooo lovely.

Everytime I go shopping (well Gary goes really, I hate shopping) I'm gonna buy loads of little extras from these lists you're leaving. Then we can give them all as gifts when we arrive begging on your doorstep! This ensures you will be pleased to see us (at least until you've eaten tham all) and eliminates the need for you to supply cake. Good plan? If we drive past your house we'll just lob them into your front garden as we go. What do yo think?

So if I go down into the paddocks one day and find a toffee crisp sticking out of a cow poop, I'll look at Taffy and go " Dawn's been".......

Actually, I think that's a fab idea, you can never go wrong with a bit of choccy

Now you had to go and put it down in black and white... Why'd you think I asked for the list?? I was hoping they wouldn't put two and two together... Just kidding! Anyway, I've got the list going, and I shall see what I can do, will keep you updated as to what I can get and what I can't because I'm not actually in the UK, but we do seem to get most of the things on the list so far. WG, the Bistro gravey granuals...do they have to be vegetarian? Ignore question, after having seen sausage on your list, I think I've answered my own question

Correct Bermy Girl, non-vegetarian gravy granules will be fine lol.

And don't go trying to bring any meat products into the country, I don't want you getting told off at Customs. And it's no good trying the "well, Welshgirl told me to bring it" line - I'm afraid that just won't cut it with MAF

As long as I can still bring in the rum!!!

Bermy Girl will have to keep the choccies out of my sight as I am a chocoholic!

Red Alligator - orange Aero's are one of my favorites. I also love the fruit and biscuit Yorkies, orange Club bars, Flakes and lately I have been munching on Watchamakalits! (I think these are American, though).
