    Hi all - just to let you know my DS took his pots of gold into school for his teachers and they were all delighted and really impressed - thanks for the idea - and especially the excuse to eat all those ferrero rochers and werthers - put one in, eat one LOL

    My pot of gold poem - I'll post pics soon. I made huge ones with full size chocolate bars (all gold or yellow wrapping) with those chocolate mint circle things, chocolate coins and some scratch cards. Not exactly money saving because they turned out to be about £10-£14 each but alot more chocolate than a couple of selection boxes and they'll be alt more appriciated.

    I met a little leprechaun
    who gave me his pot of gold
    I sprinkled on some fairy dust
    but it's treasures remained untold
    I'm giving you this festive treat
    while wishing good luck your way
    so scratch these cards and make a wish
    and enjoy your chocolate feast.
    If my typing is pants or I seem partcuarly blunt, please excuse me, it physically hurts to type. :wall: If I seem a bit random and don't make a lot of sense, it may have something to do with the voice recognition software that I'm using!

    Here's mine!! I've done four, one for each of the staff at DS's welsh playgroup. DH helped out by translating the poem from this thread into welsh for me (and still managing to keep it rhyming!). It goes

    Dyma crochan bychan aur
    Yn cynnwys losin melys
    Gan obeithio y bydd hwn yn peri
    Gwyl Nadolig bleserus

    Work that one out if you can ;):D.

    Btw, it's the good old Ikea 79p glasses, some ferrero rocher, werthers and gold coins, with one scratch card per pot.

    Jxx
    And it looks like we made it once again
    Yes it looks like we made it to the end
