    I really wanted the Flippin Men football ones but they had sold out. I have bought another set or two though :D

    The footie one is fab - they sold out quickly of that one I think. They are such good value.

    Hahaha - I think it's best we stick to baking cakes not plates Scatty!! I can just see the plates melting and having boiling hot plastic liquid oozing out of the oven like lava!!!!

    I love Do Craft items although my local stockist seems not to be stocking them anymore not sure why!
