i havn't listed the ingredients on mine,didn't even think to

I dont think you need to the only thing I was going to do was have one of each of the empty packets of sweets with me so that if anyone asks about ingrediants you have it with you.

If you go by the book as it were, you are supposed to have a hygiene certificate as you are handling food, list the ingrediants, and if someone returns an item as it has gone bad (unlikely for sweets) you are meant to have records which means you can track back to where and when you bought it,
This is what local council told me on a visit when I was doing a different kind of sweet business and was thinking of branching out. If you are worried you can always phone your local council anonymously and say you are making an enquiry. Trouble is each council maybe different.

Forgive me husband but I have sinned. I spent another £24 here http://www.papertole.co.uk/default.cfm?priceband1 got lots of bargains (not all for Xmas cards but just generally). I am sooooo going to have to curb this now

Edited to say:

Oooops I've sinned again My local little stationers that I've not been into before is a treasure trove of crafting and they had some of the Anita's Embellishments for £1.35. OK not a great saving but it would have been rude not to. Also bought a black and a white pen from there (one of which I think she under charged me for ) and a gold and silver pen too. Then picked up 2 packs of Gel pens from the local cheapie shop.
Now I just need several hours of uninterupted time to get stuck into making. Is that going to happen? Not likely :rotfl:

QVC have a lot to answer for!!

With the reindeer food if you can't afford edible glitter PLEASE don't buy tubs of normal glitter (the wildlife don't like it ) but consider dying a bag of sugar using food colouring. You'll get much more for your money this way, an abundance of colours too. Pop your sugar into bowls/containers ( 1 colour 1 bowl ), sprinkle in some food colouring & mix. It looks blobby at first but blends in brilliantly with a good mix. leave to dry for as long as possible near a window, airing cupboard etc.

It looks lovely once dried out & will absorb into the ground should the birds not get to it first.
