Legendmum - I cant stop giggling at you in the bins.....I want to make the vodka flavours but all the bottles I find are too big, last night i had what i thought was a great idea, i drank a bottle of wine thinking it would be used for vodka and the realised it was too big and would of been better using the bottle it came in. And i dont usually drink:eek: I am very stupid sometimes

ddraig - I have the same problem with my OH , he hates computers but since i showed him this site, he spends all day reading forums and is driving me nuts

Ddraig if you click on Favourites on your toolbar you should be able to save links there in folders according to what they are - bargains, recipe sites etc - and it would save you writing them down.

Very good day here, HR backed down over their mistake and my parental leave and the associated pay is sorted :j

omg, those are amazing!!!

i've been following bakerella for ages now and have always wanted to try, i tried looking for candy melts online but i was warned that the wilton brand are too thick (not sure what u used but urs r lovely).

also, try bakerellas recipe for macaroons. they are amazing, especially for gifts. they take some time and effort but well worth it, plus chose variations on food die so they can match a theme or the persons fave colour.

god, u r all so busy on here, makes me look lazy!

I just felt that it was sacrilege to bake a cake and them break it all up. I just used normal chocolate, I didnt like the look of the ingredients in the candy melts. I coloured the white chocolate. I prefer cupcakes.

I love them too. I've made them for years for family and friends and they kept telling me they were so good I should start a business. So... I am! ATM its still in the very early stages. I have done a few things for parties and donated some to fetes and stuff. Got a few orders for this month and i'm just building up my website. Once its all up and running il post the website. sorry, i've probs just bored you with all this but talk of cupcakes gets me into a frenzy, lol.

Some christmas presents have arrived this morning DD1's Ghd's are here and I bought my Nephew a Mckenzie Hooded top of ebay which has arrived covered in Dog hair and it stinks!:mad:

Can you wash it mummyslittleboy? I'd also contact the seller and explain that you're not happy, often you'll get a partial refund if you want to keep it.

Just bought a felt advent calendar on ebay, saw some locally yesterday for cheaper but since we're in Germany and the Germans celebrate on the 24th they only have 23 squares and I wanted a Christmas Eve square!

Couldn't believe how much some people were charging for handmade ones from a kit. £25 :eek:

I am going to contact them and try and get a partial refund as the description was used but in Excellant Condition It is all bobbly and covered in Dog hairs I really wouldn't class it as Excellant Condition and if the descrition had been acurate I wouldn't have paid what I did for it.
