Trenance Chocolate Treats

I do find it amazing how at the start of any relationship things start off a bit rocky. A colleague at work and I used to knock heads a lot at the beginning. It turns out that we do have much in common and the differences are well just differences. Anyway, I have never been to Cornwall. I am told it's beautiful there and you can get authentic things such as cornish pasties and various other things. 

I had the pleasure to be given from my workmate a selection of Trenance Chocolate all the way from Cornwall. She was so thoughtful to get the boys chocolate lollipops with the cartoon faces.The remainder two bars was for me to share with hubby. He does not eat treats that often so  I decided I would enjoy them myself. Yummy they are gorgeous. Not too heavy and just smooth. The white chocolate was amazing. I might visit Cornwall one day just to get more.

Loving my Kindle

I received a Kindle this past Christmas as a gift. It came after the holidays due to the high demand at the time. I was so happy I got it and spent an hour getting to know it. I even called the folk at Amazon just to make sure my Wi-Fi was set up correctly. For detailed information of the Kindle please check out the Amazon Kindle page. 

Apparently I love gadgets so I went for the Kindle with free 3G and Wi-Fi. It cost at the time £149 (now due to the hefty VAT increase it costs £152) and this version means in about 100 countries you can download books on the go. When I think about it. I did not really need the extra spend, but hey.

The digital display uses a technology called E-ink pearl, which makes it look like the text in an actual book. You do not get any glare. The only downside is that there is no optional light for when you need it. Though there are cases with lights and clip on lights if you needed it. I have not bought any of those. 

Gifts from work for 5yr service

I have been at my current job for 5 whole years. It has been a love hate relationship. Only because I took the job when made redundant on maternity leave over 5 years ago. It is a job at the end of the day and my bills get paid bit by bit. So for 5 years service you are given 500 points to spend in a catalogue which equates to about £50. You can buy more points if you choose but I decided it was not worth me doing so.

I chose these cute little Le Creuset soup bowls that come with lids. I have 2 pairs but no idea what or how to use them. When we have soup in my family we a need a big bowl as Jamaican soup is a hearty meal that is filling to the core filled with dumplings yams green banana etc etc. Well I might discover something for them in the future. Any ideas please let me know.

Oh I also chose this Elemis facial gift set that comes with skin peel and cream mask. I was disappointed at the size as they are small travel sizes. Though as I did not pay for them I suppose I cannot complain. I have yet to try these products on my face.
