My christmas folder is competed

I am impressed, I have 26 people to buy for and I have sorted 8 of those, and have a list of what I need to get for everyone else!! I am very impressed with my organasational skills this year I must say!!


I am planning on getting my 5 pots of gold/ Snowman soup done by the end of August and the 4 hampers done by the end of August, then all that will be left is a few friends presents and my DS who I have an idea what I am getting him but will wait till nearer christmas to sort his (funds are there though)

Christmas card list sorted, Christmas Recipie section has 4 recipies in there and now I feel a little more organised for christmas I can concentrate on sandind and painting the living room that has been naked for the past 2 weeks!!

I was going to do the snowman soup this month got the cadbury drinking chocolate and chocolate chips but the mini marshmallows sell by date was 12/09 i thought better to wait till a further sell by date were on the mini marshmallows before buying them been on the hunt for the candy canes cant see any!

Morning all.

Quick question - I'm hoping to make a load of snowman poops for friends this year, but assuming I get marshmallows with a long enough sell by date, how long will they last once they are out of their own packed and into the cellophane bags I have?? Is it best to put the marshmallows in last minute? Or will they keep?

Thanks!!
