Man flies 1,000 miles to bring pregnant woman Greggs sausage roll she's craving
Pregnant Lauren Nyland and her husband Jamie were met by a surprise visitor whilst holidaying in Portugal as a family member responded to her craving for a Greggs sausage roll A pregnant woman who was craving a Greggs sausage roll whilst holidaying in Portugal has hailed the "hero" who flew to her rescue. Jamie Nyland and his wife, Lauren, shared their joy and disbelief as their dedicated saviour made the 1,000-mile journey to save the day. "I still CANNOT believe this," Jamie admitted on Facebook afterwards. "My wife Lauren had a pregnancy craving two days ago, she really wanted a Greggs sausage roll whilst on holiday. My brother travelled all day all the way to Portugal to bring her it and now is leaving 24 hours after." Jamie shared snaps of an appreciative Lauren holding the goods a loft - a single sausage roll and an additional four pack to tide her over for the rest of the pair's getaway. "What a kind man," he added. "Thank you bro. Have a safe journey home." Writing in response, one Facebook user praised: "That's adorable, really nice and sweet of him to do that I couldn't even get my guy to go Morrisons!" A second person added: "There's your godfather right there!" While third declared: "What a hero!" A fourth Facebook user hailed: "That's devotion! Wow unbelievable!" Whilst a fifth concurred: "Very thoughtful and he got to enjoy some sunshine and spend time with the family too." Meanwhile another Facebook user suggested Jamie's brother's actions weren't actually required. "Best of it, you can get them in a British store at retail park near Albufeira shopping centre," the explained. "They have stuff from Waitrose, Co-op and a massive Iceland range, when my family used to live out there they got the stuff they were missing from home like Pringles etc." Jamie later returned to his account to appeal for help in naming their baby, which is due in eight weeks. "So… we've been really stuck with picking a name for our baby," he confessed in a post. "We had [daughter] Arabella's name months before but this time we're so stuck. "We THINK we have just ONE name we like.. but we're not sure. What names match with Arabella and Roman? Also - we seen some people say you won't feel a name until they're born, is this true? Of course, the name Greg was quickly suggested as one Facebook user suggested: "Considering you were craving sausage rolls thousands of miles away and there was a delivery made maybe if a boy call him Greg." Whilst another wrote: "Sometimes you just know when you see that little face looking up at you it just comes to you. I'm sure you will know when the time is right." And a third agreed: "I think when your baby's born you will look and say they look like a name and use that."

Supermarket shoppers rush to buy suitcases on sale for just £8 – and they're perfect for Ryanair flights this summer
HOLIDAY season is nearly upon us, with millions of Brits planning sun-soaked trips abroad. But if you're looking to save cash on luggage allowance and planning on travelling light this year, we've found the perfect deal. Morrisons is flogging Lugg Venus Cabin Bags for just £8 - and they meet the size requirements on Ryanair flights. One savvy shopper snapped up the deal and shared their find on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK. The suitcase comes with detachable wheels to help squeeze into Ryanair's 40cm x 20cm x25cm limit. "Look at these!" one wrote, tagging a friend. "Wait, what? The wheels come off? I bought this last week and didn't realise," a second joked. "Wow that's a great price. I might nip there later," a third added. Although not everyone is sold, one person wrote: "Was going to get one the other day but they are absolutely tiny. You'd fit more in a holdall." They added that they struggled to remove the wheels, too. Another added: "Best off for children, rather than carry on. I bought one last week, I'm 5'3 and the handle isn't long enough to pull along." All Ryanair passengers can bring a small personal bag on board but this must fit under the seat in front of you. Savvy parents race to their local supermarket as they spot branded sports bargains for just £7 in the clothing section All over-sized cabin bags will be refused at the boarding gate, or where available put in the hold for a fee. Anyone wanting to bring another bag, you'll need to upgrade and pay extra for priority and two cabin bags or checked baggage. Amazon is also selling a Ryanair-approved holdall for just £13.29. The Narwey carry on comes in a range of colours, including black, grey, purple, black and pink and comes with a padded shoulder strap for comfort. For those after check in luggage, Dunelm is selling a tough shell, metallic large suitcase for £45. And for short breaks or business trips, Sports Direct is selling a Slazenger lightweight cabin case for £14.99. The case has extendable sizing, plenty of pockets and even comes with a padlock. It's one of the cheapest branded cabin bags we've seen, down by a whopping £30. However it will have to be checked in as hold luggage for RyanAir, Jet2 and EasyJet.
