I don’t usually buy sweets when shopping but treat myself for doing a good deed.

I donated blood for many years and absolutely loved the party pie loaded with tom sauce with a cuppa and a slice of fruit cake for a job well done. No beer or fags and I’m 80 this year.

So spoil yourself sometimes.

Go Pink Ladies.
