    There is very little food I like here in Phil.
    I miss my English food and Indian curry.

    French bread here in Gasano is the closest I've found to match UK bread, other breads I tried are just too sweet with sugar. Whole wheat bread is ok but I prefer white bread.

    The closest to brown sauce and salad cream? In fact, the only ones I've found here are from Waitrose in Cagayan.

    The brown sauce tastes like HP and the salad cream like Heinz. Maybe it's just the familiar taste - as I haven't had them for a long time now.

    Last time I asked my eldest daughter if she could box up the tools and stuff I left in her garage plus add some items for me.

    I got, "Ok, I'll ask the hubby." Next day she says he cleared out the garage along with my tools etc, which included all the packing tape etc. She didn't mention about doing a box for me anyway, so i said nothing and spent a few days feeling angry.

    My other 2 daughters are also very busy, working having babies, etc, this past year.

    Been busy myself with the building and emptying my pockets, but soon I'll get round to asking again. Maybe once the ground floor is rented, for income.

    Thanks Steve, that's a really nice offer, but maybe that's putting you out. Anyway, I will try again with my daughters first; I'm sure I can rustle up some sympathy.
