anyone tell me where I can get mini marshmallows, can only find bid ones. want them to top-up hot chocolate drinks.

Hi thereI was in Asda today and in the baking isle they had biggish bags of mini marshmallows in pink or white. They were marked at £1 each but are included in the 2 for a £1 offer as far as I could see so basically uy one get one free. This was Blackpool asda but sure it will be the same elsewhere. HTH xx

Is it ok to buy marshmallows now ? I havent got any as I didn't want them to go all squidgy if you know what I mean. I did wonder if I kept them in the bag they would keep better but I'm not too sure.

They do need to be air tight the ones in Asda have a sell by date of 12/09 so im holding on for mine as i think the the date is to short so fingers crossed they will have more in soon

yippee_kye_yay

they should be ok as long as the bag isnt opened now. when they r opened they go hard after a while

I'm currently say at work, very very tired, this is becasue i read this thread last night and spent hours talking with (or maybe at!) my partner about how this Xmas will be the bestest Xmas ever!! I think he might have fallen asleep at one point, but i swiftly woke him up and carried on nattering lol

I've got a fair bit done already, the neices and nephews presents are accounted for (i.e. money on ELC gift card), Brother & Brother in Law's main presents got, just need to pick up stocking fillers when i'm out and about. MIL & FIL sorted, as well as many friends - all on order and paid for.

I think this year we might be taking a holiday in December, so even more pressure for me to get everthing sorted by September lol

Happy Crimbo Shopping everyone - and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! :T

Well done you and a MERRY CHRISTMAS! back at ya! lol

Me and my boyfriend normally take time away together come December so we get peace and quiet for a bit and spend some quality time together. Although last year was disastrous - I got conjunctivitus the morning we were meant to go away,saw the doctor and got medicine so left late, went to Hereford for a weekend away, got there did shopping and wondered why everyone was starring at me, sat in MacDonalds and boyfriend had his back to the room, so he munched a big mac super sized meal (although hes like a bloody stick:mad:) and I enjoyed my burger meal:D and everyone was starring and pointing at me, couldn't figure out why but carried on shopping /nattering etc and told Owen and he said just ignore them.

Got back to the hotel room to find that from my eyebrow, to my cheek bone and around the whole eye socket had turned a nice shade of pale purple. SO had a laugh with Owen saying why hadn't he told me I looked like ma-nimal and he said he didn't want to make me paranoid and look how much fun we'd had all day (which was true we had had a good day) which was true but couldn't help thinking that the people in MacDonald's must of thought he'd done it. :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

I get the feeling ive done that a few times with my boyfriend too - he thinks im really sad cos i have a Christmas folder etc but he was worrying about Xmas (especially when we were expecting the other two) until I showed him the list and my side are near enough done or I know what they are getting its just getting little bits as and when i can

Also am starting the list of things his family want and things that are mentioned - I near enough have Josh's shopping list done for Owen will just get it confirmed in December with their wrapping paper etc and then ask his mother what shes getting him which might take a few weeks!.
