Omg is Neil Buchanan still on it?! And is he still wearing that red jumper? :rotfl: Maybe he just looked really old for his age when we used to watch it, instead of looking really young now? :rotfl:

Yes, Neil still presents it!
From that website:

"And did you know that my red sweater is specially made for the programme, from a special material? That's because on camera, the colour red behaves in a strange way. It makes the screen go all funny, unless you use a special material - which we do.

Each one costs around £700 to make, so I have to be very careful not to spill paint or glue on it!"

When putting a snowman soup together do you have to keep the marshmallows seperate from the hot chocolate? I don't have the cones, only the normal cello bags used for cards, I'm not sure how to keep them seperate though

( I have posted this on the snowman soup thread but no one's been on for a few days and I want to make them up now lol )

I usually use 2 cones for snowman soup. In the first I put the hot chocolate powder then I secure that with either a rubber band or a bag tie, then I trim the top off the first cone to reduce the bulk. You then put the first cone in the second and then add the rest of you ingredients. I would use 2 cellophane bags in the same way.

thought this would be the best place to ask this.......

what is the best crafting magazine to get my friend as a subscription for xmas?

...... she's 33, into card making big time for 2 years or so but also turns her hand to sewing projects (wants a sewing machine for xmas!),
papercraft, small wooden projects etc. Not at all interesting in knitting or cross stitch. Loves visiting the paper mill shop and hobby craft!

Cheers ladies - go straight to the experts I thought!:beer:

£700 for the red jumpers :eek::eek: Neil's worth it though! I was looking through the site, there's so much stuff I want to make! Will have to start saving all my cardboard boxes and toilet roll tubes and stuff

Could I ask someone a massive favour? I'd love one of those p.e.n.c.i.l boxes for my OH as he's glued to his computer constantly but I don't have access to a printer. If someone has a spare one which hasn't been constructed up yet, could I buy it off you? I'll happily pay for postage and packing materials etc Sorry if I'm not allowed to ask here!
