  • Susan - do you have step by step instructions on how to make the cake? My son is 11 in two weeks and that sweetie cake looks brilliant!

    Oh Well done Rufus - he looks brilliant!!!


    Susan's 'cake' looks fantastic too - What a clever bunch we all are.

    I've grabbed jars out of the recycling, put them through the dishwasher a few times, so I'm ready to make my chilli jam this afternoon.

    I still have three parcels of Christmas stuff I'm waiting for so roll on postie.

    Scattymam - I heard about organised christmas when I joined MSE late December last year. What do you do on it?

    I left out the nuts as we don't do nuts in this house due to my sons nut allergy.

    Sugarspun why not try bingoport.co.uk their site lets you redeem the points for amazon £5 voucher, its a free site and you have to write on their forum to get points and play so much bingo, i got two redeems this week £10 amazon. It soon adds up

    Great idea, thank you!

    Still waiting for my order from the gadget shop to arrive...hmmm...should chase that up maybe.

    I got an email to say 3/4 of mine was cancelled :( they refunded the shipping on the stuff that wasn't - just as well because I wouldn't have ordered if all the good stuff had been OOS.

    Susan, I love the party in a box idea as well. I think I'm going to add that to my list of "cool gifts for children".

    I've just had an email from the gadgetshop to say they have cancelled all of my order. There were a few Christmas presents I though I'd sorted in there as well.
