What food just has to be on your Christmas table? Mine has to have the plum pud. Even though I don't eat it, it reminds me of Mum. Being the sweet tooth that I am, mine has to be a really good fruit salad, with jelly and ice cream. There are always lots of desserts, but these are my faves.

What is the go with shipping containers, say if you want to buy a used one for storing stuff at home or if you want to move etc. If getting moved, do some company's supply these for your stuff for removal or later storage?
