Have been given Sunday as a day off duty!!!! I have not been able to go kid free shopping for months.
Love the cake Trolleydolly.....so much stuff in it too...they are sure to love it. I esp love the frilly knicker roses! Cute. :T

Trollydolly - beautiful cake

Popkins - No Adams here Matalan and Sainsbury's have Winnie the Pooh things at the moment.

Trolleydolly - your cake is stunning especially for a first attempt!! You will soon be addicted to making them I'm sure lol

Popkins - No sorry haven't seen any WTP stuff anywhere recently - I think those WTP cuddle robes have been discontinued form Asda as they were all in the sale. Yes thats the problem with not using a wholesaler but to be honest I've looked into it and they have stuff go out of stock the same as shops do and its not much cheaper especially when you add the p+p

If I see any I'll let you know

Now to get on with stuff for tonights fair......

giggle - that is lovely! I have only done a couple of christmas nappy cakes incase I can't shift em! A lady collected one yesterday and she was chuffed to bits with it but forgot to take a pic! D'oh

I have just sat and made what feels like 100 flannel reindeer lol In reality I think theres about 20!

Love the cake Giggle:D

Brudie25 - I am planning making some reindeer to donate to my works Christmas Fayre. Can I ask where you but all your things?


Can anyone tell the best place to buy mens black socks for "Sock Pints" ?


After searching high and low for white blankets I have just ordered 10 from Adams. It was buy one get one half price and free delivery on orders over £35. They have worked out at £3.75 each.

trolleydolly - Wow!!!! What a gorgeous cake! You are right to be well chuffed. I love the way you have done the frilly knickers! Have Asda started selling the cream teddies again, or did you already have it?

Irlrip, Matalan sells online too. Think maybe you could do with a "special expedition to another town to stock up. I live 12 miles from nearest town and have to travel by bus, so everytime I need something it's like going on an expedition. LOL

Popkins, are there any of the towels you want on the Asda website? I had an order delivered to my nearest store for pick-up free of P&P charges. Mind you! Not a good idea if you want it urgently.

Giggle, Just had a look at your Christmas Cake - It's lovely! Really cute!
I havn't sold any of mine yet (Help!!!!) But, if they don't sell, I will take off the christmas stuff and make as regular cakes as they are made the same.

For Reindeer I only use thin flannels as the thicker ones are just too thick and they look wrong! I get them from Wilkinson - they are 25p each I do a mixture of brown and beige - brown pipe cleaners I got from Ebay (although did raid DD's craft stuff and the tinsely ones looked quite nice!!) eyes and red pom poms form ebay too. Soaps I got from Tesco - value ones 3 in a pack for 13p I think - considering they are value ones they smell quite nice.

I don't use socks in my sock pints - I just do a pint of flannel and use flannels!! I have used socks before though and the £shop had 3 pairs for £1

I have just got back from a local school fair - out of all the reindeer I made - I sold 1!!! last few I have done I have sold out ah well!! DId manage to sell xmas nappy cake though so am well chuffed! Still have a bit of stock left for fair tomorrow so thats a bonus!

Good luck to all those at fairs this weekend!
