Hello again,

thankyou to all who have welcomed me!!!!

I gave up on pots of gold last night, will start another night when have a little more time, at least i know i have all the things, just have to figure the wrapping side!!!

Thanks rufus for the tips, will be trying them out!!!!

Am also doing hampers so will proberly have fun with them too - but am loving the fact i have "homemade" gifts, feels so much better than just walking into a shop!!!

Thanks again x

Yippeeee yip yip yipeeee

Have order for 2 Christmas Cakes, 1 for payment for a door replacement and 1 for me and mum (£12 each , only a £3 profit per cake but cheap for a door replacement)

Also 2 orders for Chutneys and poss one more (approx £2 per jar) - think may sell 2 jars per person (£8)

Pleased with this

Christmas Chutney making day tomorrow which went down a storm last year and might make a double batch depending on how much is made



Will take a list in

New bathroom door being fitted as the last one fell off :rotfl:Being fitted by the ex OH and for payment offered a cake and he accepted so £9 in ingredients is fine as a joiner would have cost more

Am also going to try snowman soup - where do you buy the cones??

Also am making movie night in hampers for relatives, a pamper one for my mum, and getting the kiddies to hand make cards, they are only 4 and 2!!!!

Sadly i am not very creative, so am hoping they are going to work - thanks for the advice x

I get my cello cones on ebay, the kiddies will love making the cards and everyone will love receiving them to.

I made my first sock monkey the other day, and it was really easy so have started making more of them for xmas presents for my kids and a couple of friends.
