TequilaMockinBird · 26/09/2012 07:42

I'm in too, yay Grin

Excited for it being delivered today. Will it come with Royal Mail?

redlac · 26/09/2012 07:44

Gah, I've been picked but won't be in today to take delivery!

MTBMummy · 26/09/2012 09:21

My bread has arrived - now do I have a second breakfast or have some for a mid morning snack??? (or both Smile )

Looks like it was royal mail, he knocked and was gone by the time I got down stairs, but thankully left the bread on the door step.

Chopstheduck · 26/09/2012 10:32

my postie has been but no bread yet :(

Rikalaily · 26/09/2012 11:52

Bread arrived by royal mail, the kids will be having it for supper tonight and breakfast in the morning, yeay!

SaraSidle · 26/09/2012 12:00

Did you just get one loaf through the post then?

Chopstheduck · 26/09/2012 12:08

Postie came back again and delivered two loaves in a box. Will be trying it after school Smile

HecateHarshPants · 26/09/2012 12:10

Got mine this morning. Two loaves.

Because I am such a dedicated tester Grin I immediately ate some.

I had one slice 'raw' and one toasted. It toasted really well and tasted a bit bagel-like. You couldn't eat it without something on it, the slice I had straight from the packet was hard to get down.

It's nice. It's more bready (I know that's not a word!) than other fruity loaves, which can be quite heavy. It's still heavier/moister than normal bread though (understandably! Grin )

It didn't have quite enough fruit in it for me. I would have liked to have seen a bit more. And maybe some seeds.

but all in all, it's really lovely! I shall try some for a ham sandwich and see what happens! [living dangerously emoticon]

TequilaMockinBird · 26/09/2012 12:11

Mine isn't here yet Sad

fuzzpig · 26/09/2012 12:13

None here yet

SaraSidle · 26/09/2012 12:18

I'm in hospital with ds right now. He fell off his bike yesterday into the road and got hit by a car. He's going down to surgery in an hour to pin his arm. He was going to love this bread!

Might freeze some for him if its freezable? Maybe the nurses will toast some for him when he can eat again? He's 14 and loves his food. Not feeling much like eating right now.

TequilaMockinBird · 26/09/2012 12:21

It's here GrinGrin

Sorry to hear about your DS Sara, hope he's feeling better soon. Sad

Chopstheduck · 26/09/2012 12:21

aww your poor ds! My son had the same op last year, hope it all goes well.

Checked and the bread is suitable for freezing. Surely he should be hom tomorrow too, and it will be a nice treat when he gets home.

ClaimedByMe · 26/09/2012 12:43

The door went and I got excited about my bread and it was a man trying to sell me a conservatory or new rooflines!!!

fuzzpig · 26/09/2012 12:59

Who the hell would want a conservatory when they could have fruity bread?!? Angry

ClaimedByMe · 26/09/2012 13:01

I now have fruity bread!!!!! Grin

Honestly if you seen the size of my garden there is no room for a conservatory.

The fruit bread smells really nice!

ShoopShoop · 26/09/2012 14:26

Mine's here!! Two loaves - I've frozen one and will be trying out some later with some wine . How exciting!!

Sara - really hope your DS gets better soon. How scary for you all Sad

Tee2072 · 26/09/2012 14:33

Just got mine! Almost fell down the stairs going to answer the door as my slipper fell off half way down! The things I do for MN...

Also freezing one and will have some later tonight. And will feed some to son in the morning. Grin

SaraSidle · 26/09/2012 14:37

Thanks everyone! Yes,think I will freeze some as he won't be home til possibly Friday

Will go and buy some nice butter!

MILdesperandum · 26/09/2012 14:37

Ours arrived just as we were finishing lunch (very lazy postie here!). DD1 was very excited at the parcel and ate a slice straight away and asked for another - this after refusing most of her lunch!

NiniLegsInTheAir · 26/09/2012 15:22

I had no idea I'd been accepted, got the parcel this morning and got a pleasant surprise when I opened the box. Won't get through 2 loaves quickly so I've frozen one. Can't wait to try the other! Grin

fuzzpig · 26/09/2012 15:59

Still none! Mind you we haven't even seen the regular postie for a few days Hmm

Gutted I haven't got room in the freezer now as we had our Tesco delivery this morning and DH has to freeze his own bread (he's a coeliac)

Huuuuuuungrryyyyyyyyyy
