Hi catgirl
Thanks for your post, the recipe i found is from the market kitchen by tom parker bowles.
This was the only one i found that said it was safe to keep it for up to 10 months.
Here is the link for you

Finally finished going through the catalogues last night (I know I'm quite late with this) circling all the things I might be interested in (this is all for DS, not anyone else!) at the wekend I need to pin down what we're spending and then order. THat will then be alll presents done except father in law, which I informed DH last night is his responsibility as I have single-handedly done everyone else. DH still thinks it's far too early to be talking about Christmas and will probably rush out in a panic on 23 December. But that's his lookout!

Heads up! There are 20% codes for argos on toys, homeware, 10% electricals. I found them on vouchercodes.com - argos dont usually do codes so this is obviously their big pre-xmas sale! might help some of you? free delivery too but not sure what threshold for that is.

Feel majorly sick as have to give in our final final offer on the house today and know there is nothing we can do to sway them in our favour. This really is our final offer so if this gets rejected then bye bye house. If it gets accepted (again) we still have the long wait of it being advertised for another up to 14 days before we even go ahead with a survey. Blehhhhh just want it to know one way or another!

No time for christmas fun today I MUST work (and worry!!) *sigh*

In happier news our xmas tree is up! I will post pics later for those who are interested

Wow girls can't believe you were all up 'chatting' last night! If I'd had a computer in the bedroom I would have joined you!! I went to bed about midnight but there were lots of comings and goings in the night! My OH was away so DS and DD both wanted to sleep in my bed. Ds feel asleep and was moved out, DD stayed in but woke up when I came to bed then DS came back about 2 am then DD decided to go out as he was snuggling up to her and she didn't like it! Lucky OH alone in a big hotel bed!

Today at work not meant to be on here but love to catch up with you all! I actually talk about my friends from here I'll say a friend recommended this or that so I can relate to your comments.

Also YES PLEASE to a Rudolph club on here I think that's a fab idea as I'll miss you all post Chrimbo!!

Thinking of you Jamtart sending hugs your way xxx

Aww furrypig that is so lovely. I always refer to you crazy lot as my friends too I bet you loved having the kids in bed last night really. Your two little ones snuggling with mommy. My two have never been like that!!

Jamtart, Just try and remember that what happens will happen and there is nothing you can do to change it.. but there is everything you can do about how you live your life after it. If you lose out on the house, you won't have all the worry and bother hanging about during christmas and you can have so much fun in the new year sniffing out a new treasure. xx


OK everyone... I do realise that today is the err 27th... Didn't I tell you I was dumb?? LOL What I meant was it is four weeks (PANIC) till christmas.

FOUR WEEKS!

Felt good wrapping all the presents and putting them in the attic safe. Finally got DS's last present and it was all settled. Then he announces he doesn't want any of those things anymore because he likes thomas wooden now.. not thomas "plastic".

SIGH!

The free delivery threshold is £50. It was in an e-mail i had last night. I think you have to put a code in to get it though. I'd post it but i deleted the e-mail!
