Thanks Bob, I was going to make stuff out of the modelling clay stuff that you bake in the oven. The wedding toppers are made out of this too, DS and icing sugar would be awful - he'd eat it all and go completely hyper!:rotfl:

So far this evening I have made the two phonecalls that I've been putting off for ages, helped DS make cakes and dejunked a bit more - can feel the halo shining... maybe now I can sit on butt and eat chocolate all night...
and have also done another survey and checked the banking!Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Ten and a half months, ten and a half months - getting reaaaally bored and trying to convince myself it's not that long, and it isn't really but I'm obsessing with spreadsheets and keeping an eye on the housing market (i.e. looking at houses I can't afford but really want).
I MUST BE PATIENT.:rolleyes:
and maybe scrimp a bit of entertainment and food and bring it down another couple of months...Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
