The Plot
Flora's Lot is the story of Flora Stanza a young single Londoner who inherits part of an auction house after the death of her uncle. Having no real ties in London she decides to pack up and move to the country to find out a little more about the business she has inherited. Problem is that all Flora knows about the antique business is what she's picked up on programmes like the Antiques Roadshow. Floras' meddling in the business does not go down well with the co-owner, Floras cousin Charles and his fiancée Annabelle. They want to buy her out and send her back to London but Flora isn't prepared to give in that easily.
Flora and her cat who is about to have kittens moves into a neglected holiday cottage owned by Annabelle which is in the middle of nowhere. It's far removed from her city life with the bars and clubs, here ...
Advantages: low fat Disadvantages: not as nice as butter
Flora Extra Light Spread..........
This low fat margarine has got to be the slimmers choice of butter substitute. This is because it is so low in fat and calories that I do believe it is the lowest fat spread on the market! I have been using this spread (when there is nothing else on special offer) for quite some time now due to the fact that they seem to have discontinue St Ivel Gold which is something I have used for many years.

The colour of the margarine is a little paler than that of Flora Butterly but it does still have a slightly golden tinge to it. There is not really much of a smell that comes off ...
Advantages: Healthy, tastes great, cheap Disadvantages: Shouldn't there be some sort of security seal?
OK, before I start let me tell you I'm a butter girl - a Lurpak girl to be completely honest with you. I'm so much of a Lurpak girl that I've got a Douglas (the butter man with the trombone) mousemat, socks, tea-towel, butter dish and toast rack. So why am I doing a Flora op? Simple, we've recently moved into a house with NO central heating (**shiver**) and butter quite simply goes too hard and won't spread cos the kitchens so cold. I tried to stick with Lurpack, microwaving it to sofen it (result: butter goes horrible and gooey after the 10th time in the microwave) and I even started putting the butter dish on top of the grill to soften it until I forgot it was there one day and melted butter got inside the grill and nearly burned my house down! So I went to the supermarket in search of a decent spreadable margarine which wouldn ...
