soapie - glad you are warming up again
Julie - well done with your win

will update list after HHC and then its lunch

ETA greenbee is your truffles receipe child friendly as kids are wanting to bake this pm if it is could i have a coy

greenbee

Washing up done. DW filters cleaned. DW loaded. Last lot of truffles (horrid messy things!) rolled and coated in cocoa powder and gold dust

Next stop fudge-making and lunch.

Then I guess I'll have to brave the cold, and go and locate a spade from the shed. I'll need one in the car, and I can make a start on clearing the snow from the drive :rolleyes:

I wonder if the friend who was going to come over this evening is still planning on it? I guess I need to make the mince pies anyway. Might make her up a hamper with some blackberry whisky (my dad made it, I don't like it but other people do!), marinated feta, truffles, fudge (if done on time) and christmas tree & star biscuits and mince pies. Mostly because it will get rid of at least one of the items cluttering up the utility room by using it as a hamper...

... in fact... I wonder how many of those I can use for stockings

SummerMoon

Have fed kids... hopefully that will sort out whinging kid(DS2), he is EVIL when he is hungry!!

Going to go and finish kids room then get spag bol in slowcooker for tea tonight. Hopefully that will leave enough time to get my room sorted before DP gets home at 3.30ish.

Off I go!!!!

hollyh

I'm going to do another HHC at 1.00 if anyone wants to join me?

hollyh

Off i go again...........

Sounds lovely! I showed my Mum your Rudoph cake on FB. It is the cutest thing ever!! She wants to know what you used as the nose :rolleyes: She reckoned it was a candied strawberry but I think it is something you have bought from a specialist shop

175 words done heh heh, I'll be done by Christmas Eve
