Sounds good, don't suppose you have a recipe or description of the filling? I am doing cheesy leeks though so may clash with that. She's very easy going and is happy to eat a roast with just the veg (as she did my whole childhood) but I feel she misses out so I wanted to do her something special.

I'll ask her for it
(she won't let me eat it because it's cheese so high fat - I hope she passes me the recipe!)

Iffyton has a free Tshirt offer at the moment - £3.80 postage but it's an air guitar shirt totally suitable for a 20 year old.

Thank you this was a great find! :T I've ordered that so it's a start.
I've also looked on play.com found some bits on there but have to wait 'til payday now :rolleyes:

here are the pics of my DD1 advent sour cream containers, its not colours I like to use, but she wanted them black and white same as last years! I filled them with chocolate coins santa sweets etc 24 done another 72 to go for my other 3 children waiting on the christmas papers to arrive.

They look amazing! I think I'll have a go at making those next year. I'd like to this year, but I've already got a huge list of things I MUST make, so I better not add more to it yet

Just back in from another successful shopping trip, except for the mini argument with dh. I asked to go to one extra shop to look for a few extra prezzies and I get told that "not everything is about Christmas you know!" He obviously doesn't understand that yes, everything is about Christmas right now and will be for the next few months :rotfl:And I went to the extra shop anyway!

I managed to get presents for my son, nephew, sister-in-law, husband (without him seeing!), gran-in-law and Dad. Also got another birthday present for my son aswell as some fantastic tree decorations. Just need a tree to put them on now

My Oh has been scolding me about my focus on xmas and I pointed out I just wanted to get organised. Then he asked what my next focus would be Easter or next Xmas!
