Chocolate tray bake cake baked and iced and in fridge, sausage casserole and roast tatties in oven, Amber grouching/sleeping, DH snoring and boys watching shrek 3 Need to go put another loa din TD and put washing away. DH thinks that helping is doing lots and lots of loads of washing and dumping the dry stuff on the bed rather than putting it away load by load.

Weezl, Sami or anyone else who might know.

I want to make microwave jam for Xmas. Would 110ml jars be alright? I want to make a small pot of plum, raspberry, strawberry and X jam, is that a good 'taster' size?

Do I need to do anything special for putting it in jars? Warm the jars, bung it in? Do I need wax bits or anything?

Any ideas for things I could make in slow cooker and jar?

I made jam once, on the oven, it was lovely but a bit crispy!

Craig made a tear and share garlic bread and it was gorgeous. He made a huge lasagne as well, so we're stuffed now.

Charlotte was doing huge pumps and giggling her head off. Then she really squeezed the last one out and said "uh oh, better check the nappy Mammy" :rotfl:
