    Woo for lunchtime!

    I just bought some cookie cutters and a rolling pin so I can make some home-made Christmas decorations this weekend. I will post pictures if they are any good. I saw a recipe on Weezl's mortgage free diary for salt dough and I'm going to give it a try!

    Other spends today are the usual bread and milk and some Rice Krispies (Morrisons knock-off) to make chocolate crispies with tonight or tomorrow. Mr Fresian got a load of my mum's home baking recently and I think it's spoiled him!

    Morrisons - 2 packs for £1.50 but they appeared to be the same shapes for 1 pack for £1 for me. Four cutters shaped like a tiny little man, a tree, a bell and a star.

    Om nom nom!

    Also, please note kick-!ss moo-print toastie maker courtesty of Mama Fresian. Conversation prior to their visit went thusly:

    Mum - "Do you want a toastie maker?"

    FF - "Nah, I've got one I don't use already."

    Mum - "It's cow-print."

    FF - "That will do nicely"

    I'm so predictable....

    Had adventures in making salt dough decorations tonight...

    Before:

    After (Hopefully you can see festive kitchen roll too!)

    DSCF4991.jpg

    They appear to have puffed up with air slightly, which I didn't think looked right. I have slathered some of them with food colouring and popped back in the oven. I am planning on adding some silver and gold glitter and hanging them from the tree with silvery ribbons. They look naff and cheap and home-made, but I love them :smileyhea
