Well what a lovely surprise. I charged up my mobile phone batteries overnight and when I came to look at my phone there was an unread message. I don't get many text messages these days and was surpised to see that it had been sent three days ago!
At first I thought it must be "Orange" telling me that I was in credit or trying to interest me in something or other. Then I noticed that it was a UK mobile phone number but I didn't recognise it. Well there was only one way to find out - read the message!
To my surprise and delight were those three lovely words.
Words that I haven't heard since January.
Words that made me go weak at the knees.
Yes you've guessed "I've got Shreddies"!
For any new friends or those of you who are slightly puzzled, my earlier posting might through some light on the matter:

Anyway I digress. Trembling with excitement I got in my car and drove over to my friends house. To be greeted by
"I bet I know what you've come for"!
Not wanting to look too eager, I shrugged my shoulders.
"Would you like a coffee?"
I smiled and nodded. 
So we had coffee and a chat and an hour later I got up to go. On my way out I was handed a carrier bag "Here you are - two 750g boxes of BiteSize Shredded Wheat"!!!!!!!
BiteSize Shredded Wheat! BiteSize Shredded Wheat!
Not the words I wanted to hear! 
I think the disappointment showed on my face! "Oh - they're not what you wanted then? - never mind they'll keep you regular". Thanks pal!
