    me too! :D x

    Still nothing for me :(

    I have all the ingredients ready and waiting as well. Wondering if I should buy some more, just in case they don't arrive......

    Can someone tell me how they were packaged?? Was it just a normal envelope? I only ordered 25, so assume that they would have just been put in an envelope, but was just wondering....

    Plastic mail bag... she seems to leave feedback the day she sends them, because I got feedback last night and they arrived today posted yesterday 1st class.

    Definitely contact if you have been waiting longer than a week.. she did sell a lot so maybe accidentally missed you off the list.
    Trying to make a better life.... If you need me you'll find me at the allotment.

    Thanks guys. I bought them on the 5th November!!!! I emailed her after a week and she did reploy, but just saying they've been sent. But still nothing received and it's now been 16 days since payment:(

    My feedback was received on the 9th Nov. I think they've probably been lost somewhere along the line. I've opened a paypal dispute today as the seller hasn't responded to my last message (asking what date they were sent, and to confirm the address posted to). Lets see if that does anything.

    In the meantime, have just purchased from someone else. Should both lots arrive, I'll save them for Easter :)

    At the school fair yesterday I sold all 50 of my snowman soups at £2 each, and could have sold more if I'd had them!
    Also, about 25 magic santa keys, 24 flannel reindeer, 30 mini milk cartons with sweets in, 25 snowman fridge magnets, and 20 knitted stockings for tree decorations. I was exhausted, but raised £250!!
  • well done i sold about 40 at mine, though mine were £1.50 each... and i thought that was pushing it.. maybe i should have put them as £2 and made more money! haha
  • Well i aint doing fairs but i have sold 10 to people in the pub 17 to people in the local hair dressers and 18 to friends and family £1.50each :D
  • hi, going to make snowman soup for my work colleagues and will be giving them out the week before xmas, how soon could i make them, does the chocolate go stale ?

    I think the main problem is the marsh mallows going a bit hard on the outside although they still melt fine in the hot chocolate. I am leaving mine till the last minute, although I am dying to do them.
