You're doing really well, when I first read your post I thought you meant you were going to make 36 jars tomorrow!

Anyone picked their apples yet, not sure if mine are ready yet? They still look quite small but they taste ok and they are lovely and red???

Thanks

Hi tofffe If you cut an apple open and the pips are brown then they are ready.

Oh this sounds lovely lizi Are you going to freeze the sodabread as it doesn't keep that well?

Made the cucumber pickle last night - the whole house smells of vinegar!

I'm having everyone round at mine for crimbo so will make them the day before or I could make life easy for myself and make oatcakes lol!
I love cucumber pickle! I made onion chutney one year and yes the house did whiff a bit for a few days, but boy it was worth it!!

Put my first Christmas extras in the trolley today at tesco.

4 tubes of pringles, only 99p each. Also got 5 grab bags of maltesers, revels and m&ms £1 each for my 'night in' hampers I'm making.

Got a weekend of making ahead! Yippee!
