louisella Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I normally ask for cheese twisties to be brought back bit confused why you've been asked to bring tampax though as they're available here? Congratulations on the wedding, what a lovely thing to come back for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I thought all three of those things were widely available here... Enjoy the wedding though. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delaneym Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 Quality and sizes hard to get and the chocolate here doesn't taste the same but marmite yes. Thanks I am quite excited knowing I am returning a resident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1cha3la Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Congrats on your sons wedding :wubclub: Isn't it funny the things we end up flying around world. My parents are abroad and I usually get requests for tea bags and bisto gravy :laugh: Have also flown out two suit cases of rabbit food, to a fussy bunny. God knows what the guy on xray at customs thought :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good news about the face masks though:jiggy:Thanks xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nic1171 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Last time I went home I ended up bringing back a roll of wallpaper and a duvet cover for 2 folk, both heavy so used up some of my allowance, won't be doing that again, folk can be cheeky when they're asking you to bring stuff over!

NicF Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 My OH and I are both planning on bring back underwear from our trip to the UK in June. Not because we can't buy it here but because we know exactly what to get and where to get it from in the UK. We are also both planning shopping trips for clothes just because we will have time to actually go shopping. I can't actually think of any food things that I miss here, but there are bound to be loads of things when we go round the supermarket that I've completely forgotten about. The kids are looking forward to Hoola Hoops. I might even bring some back if there is room in the suitcases (should be - we are taking half empty ones with us so we have plenty of space for new purchases).
