And yes, Malteasers are chocolate balls with honeycomb in the middle - marble size :0)Liz Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05860282774080831783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-53825866531526429492011-07-11T13:58:15.687+01:002011-07-11T13:58:15.687+01:00OK, I have to ask, what is a Malteaser?

I actually enjoy moving but maybe because it tends to be decades between and I am eager to redecorate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-50633896500913784632011-07-11T13:28:14.660+01:002011-07-11T13:28:14.660+01:00Fantastic solitaire set, I remember spending far t...Fantastic solitaire set, I remember spending far to many hours playing that.

You'll be in soon though and have a whale of a time rediscovering and rearranging all your things.<br /><br />The solitaire is pretty, I'm sure it's unlikely to really be whale related though. I find replacing the balls with maltesers makes the game more enjoyable...Lakota [Faith Hope and Charity Shopping]https://www.blogger.com/profile/04247624645636227130noreply@blogger.com
