All the shops I've been to lately have stopped selling White Flora - has anyone else noticed this? I hope they haven't stopped making it, but if other people can't find it, I'll guess that's the...

I wonder if anyone can remind me what sort of potatoes I planted in my pots this year? I harvested them last night, and they are oval, pale-skinned with pink spots round the eyes.... They sound quite...
I've got a hot oil hair treatment from Avon (not the one I ordered, obviously - when is it ever?), for when I come back from holiday, and there are no instructions. I guess I heat it up in a bowl of...
