    Yes, I did use Araldite - extra strong. It says its suitable for metal, wood, masonry, ceramics, glass and plastics. ;)

    My husband is away for Mother's day and I asked my 10 year old if I was going to get breakfast in bed this year. He said 'yes, but I can only do toast and a drink of water!' :rotfl:
    thanks for the info and think yourself lucky bless him it sounds like he is willing to try, I have a 30 year old a 24 year old and a 21 year old daughter ( shes the only one thats excused as she is handicapped and not capable of doing it) and never got breakfast in bed from any of them! so even toast and water would have been special lol!

    Thankyou :) I am too wondering what I'll get off my 2 especially as I'm doing overtime at work that day so hubby has got most of the day to do something with them...fingers crossed :) x

    Hi

    I am hoping to make something with the kids (6 & 2) tomorrow to give to my mum for mothers day.

    I am not very crafty so all quick and easy suggestions would be greatfully received.

    TIA

    Let me know what you think.

    Sorry if the picture is massive

    Well done on your first towel cake, sarahpowell, I'm sure your mum will be delighted. :T

    You can't beat a homemade gift!

    I have literally just finished making my OH's gift. I made this topiary out of card and tissue paper - it looks a bit weddingy but it just adds to the elegance lol
