I was worried about that too! Thinking I've picked up something a bit special and hard to get hold of and then it being soemthing widely available in the US! Also, there are a lot of things that we have in the UK that exist in America but under a different name/branding. I think it'd be easier for anyone in the US to find something that we don't have over here. It seems to be anything with a crazy amount of colouring and addatives! :mrgreen:

My box is almost done. I'll be sending next week :D

I call them penny sweets :)
but most penny sweets have gone up to 2p! :o thats like 100% inflation and is mad imo lol
I was worried non vacuum packed sweets wouldn't be o.k? But if it's ok to send weighed out sweets I'll go grab all the old style sweets if people don't mind that kind of stuff?
Was worried people might think eww dirty :(
Though I'm one of those who will eat sweets I drop on the floor as long as the sweets and floor are dry! haha it's the rule :)

I would think bulk candy is fine. I wouldn't mind receiving it.

I bought more sweets today just trying to find something suitable to send them in and also waiting for miss friday to sleep during the day so I can add the other thing lol
Will be sent on time though :)

I had to wrap all the weighed sweet bags in cling film A to stop them going everywhere in the post and B to stop me "testing" them all >.<

Agh that mega sucks, i spent the entire time here that it snowed moaning about how it was interfering with my eBay addiction.
it's bad enough that it's cold atm thank god we don't have snow :(
Hopefully going to post tomorow I have all my bits just need to go bother my mother to see if she has a better box than me to ensure the safety of the precious one :)
