Junior_J - Well done on the job... it is lovely to see and hear how much you do for everyone with various babysitting jobs etc etc and how throughtful and lovely you are!!! My SIL is 17 (almost 18) and she can never keep a job down cause she just fights with people, she refuses to sign on, and she stays in bed all day ... my MIL says she has a shock coming ... she is 18 in Feb and the front door is easily opened if she doesn't start trying!
Maria and the imps ... is this where I can say ..... BAH HUMBUG!!!Raising kids is like being held hostage by midget terrorists0 -

I've posted this on the sweeties thread too - but here is an addition to my OH's pressies...
I think I am copying soblivion here - but I have recycled a large ferrero rocher box and decorated around the gold edges with green and red christmas trees and angels and used snowman stickers to cover up the logo in the middle.
I then put in chocolate coins approx 50p, 4 quality street from tin, Strawberry toffee bonbons 69p per 100g from Humbugs (59p wilkos found out later), White toffee bonbons as above, Fizzies whizzies (from the 70s/80s)from Humbugs 69p per 100g, jazzies/spangles 29p poss Wilkos or similar, werthers original left over from pots of gold. Total cost £2-3. I think it looks amazing so thanks everyone for the inspiration!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Mary - I know what you mean re jars, boxes etc. I have a collection of about 9 glass jars in the kitchen awaiting "renovations" and a couple of the smaller plastic ferrero rocher boxes too!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030
