Well at the last minute, decided to get a lucky dip for everyone for Wednesday Nights Lottery draw....except got them all on the same ticket DOH!!

So I have 4 gold boxes (couldnt find pots!) and 1 ticket!!

I couldnt find any chocolate coins, so have made do with ferrero rochers...

God knows what they will come out like....but I am about to improvise!!

I will try and post a pic later! Has anyone else made any ? do you have pictures?

    To finish off the presents, here is a little pot of gold,
    A festive nibble and some cheer to see you through the cold,

    I wish that it makes all your wildest dreams come true,
    And that you have a very
    Merry Christmas from me to you xxx


    is my poem if anyone else wants to use it!

    You have just reminded me that i need to get a couple of scratchcards to put in the childrens stockings!!!! (i know they are meant to be over 16, but they love to scratch them off and we will all benefit if they win big!!!)
    They sound lovely (i would prefer ferrero rochers anyway!!!)

    Just in case anyone is thinking of doing these this year, I went into Superdrug today and they are selling nets of gold chocolate coins for 39p each with a BBE date of Sept 08. I've got me a few to put away as I'm going to do these as table or tree presents this year.
    ...it is not of more importance than daily life, which I have an enduring wish to make as useful and beautiful as possible.
