Tomorrow I'm popping into Mr t to pick up some more baking ingredients on 342 which hopefully they are still to make up some of the cake ingredients in a jar presents

I had an idea to buy mum some sillicone bakeware and to add the muffin mix in a jar that someone kindly posted on here

Or, will still give the jar mixture and save the bakeware until birthday time.

Hello all :j

esmer - love the box :T I saved the template for that one but haven't used it yet.

Well what a day.........started off ok and I covered a little memo box -the sort with just loose paper in..........I'd had it a while and had two more bought me since then so felt it could do with a new home.
That went ok so I thought I'd start a button necklace for foster lad's girlfriend..........going along nicely I was then thread tangled in a knot..........couldn't get it undone then the thread broke:eek: button necklace that;s remaining would fit a doll....................lol:rotfl: Gave up after that. Don;t think my patience would last out.............lol

Shopping tomorrow for a few more odds and ends, paper from craft shop for couple more kitchen organisers, stuff for 'party in a bag' for twins 18th, look round the charity shops to see whats begging to be bought...............sure there's something else but I'll have to put my ''list making'' hat on to remember it.............lol:rotfl:

Hope you're all well

Well the tree and decorations are up, and outside lights look pretty. Puppy hasn't attacked them yet either.

Esmer your boxes are brilliant - I'm sorry to be a nuisance lately, but could you post the link to the template please? Also, where did you buy the ingredients to the bathbombs? I can't wait to get started.

Junior - tidy your room - NOW.

Hiya Mary - Just get your button necklace done and then leave everything now. You need some time to get some ideas for when we all start again in, what is it? Just over four weeks time? Arrggghhhhh. I'm off for a panic.

5 minutes later......

I feel better now. LOL

Getting organised slowly. Wrapping paper is all ready, presents are ready - just need to wrap them now.

See you later, just going to serve up our dinner. Be back later xxx

The baking things were still on 342 when I was in Tesco today


I bought all my chutney making things and I have been saving jars for ages so I'm all sorted for when I can start. I also bought a small bottle of vodka, werthers and skittles to have a go at making flavoured vodka. If it works alright it should make a nice present for my brother-in-law.

Junior - Your Green light is still on - what are you doing on here? Go on, do as Auntie Julie says and TIDY YOUR ROOM!

I've got a 19 year old just like you, she likes procrastinating.

ps. I've just done her uni homework because she's left it until the last minute again.

Hes had 'em alright !! :mad: As well as the five weetabix that were piled on a dish this afternoon, followed by two fried eggs in a sandwich.............I just wasnt quick enough to stop him.................hence no yorkshire pudding for dinner (mind you dont think I could have faced it with the pile of pork, carrots, cauliflower cheese(before all the milk was devoured) and roast potatos...............lol:rotfl:
Nothing for it............going to have to 'borrow' a cappacino sachet from one of the pressie boxes upstairs thats not yet tied up..................lol
So, all is not lost.............got quite a few upstairs tucked inside cards.........this rate no-one will be having one but me.................lol
