Good idea jungliemac I've got a Booker, Costco and Makro Card - didn't think of them. I'm looking to make about 50 for the school fair so need a fair amount I guess. The toppers aren't too big so I will only need smallish cello bags

And several handfuls to eat whilst making them

Ahh Tranmererovers, I was going to suggest Poundland (as I sit munching on a bag of chocolate raisins) The bags are 250g for £1, but if you are needing LOADS, then I guess CostCo, etc. would be a much better idea ... LOL

That's not a bad price. Sometimes poundland are cheaper than the cash and carrys by the time you have to add the VAT on :mad:

Hmm, yeah, forgot the extorsion of VAT (sp!) I must say that the Poundland Sweet Heaven Chocolate Raisins, in the purple bag, taste VERY nice - not a cheap chocolate taste at all. In fact they are rather more-ish that half the bag has gone already :eek:

Ha! The only thing my MIL will be getting is a present with rubbish wrapped up inside. She is so stuck up about a perfect house she goes around picking up little bits off fluff off the carpet :eek: I would love to see her face opening a present with lots of bits of paper and fluff that come out all over the floor :rotfl:Good thing is she would prob see the funny side of it to. :T

Your post about your MIL made me think of this http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=36457111&postcount=9. I'm going to make some for my MIL too.

My word such a lot going on since yesterday......:)

Not much done today........two radiators packed up (thankfully they're upstairs so down here is cosy) Can't get hold of the plumber so had to leave a message and hope he hasn't gone on holiday.

So, todays bit of nonsense from me is ''Sock Jam''.......Pair of plum colour socks rolled up into a jar, printed off a label from Primdoodles and stuck some letters on saying ''sock jam''......topped it off with a gingham hat.
Covered another gravy tub ready for another 'make your own' snowman.............just need to get some more marshmallows to get that done and packed away.
And thats my lot. Not much for a day but it has been one of those 'messy' days with phone calls, folk at the door..........you know the sort........;)
