    Tara, not too sure as my mum is not too good at giving full information. But my brother usually books Parks sites.

    MFD the Easter Bunny takes dummies and bottles here.

    I don't think sack will confuse Joe. He had one last year, but just the throw away type. Don't think he's bothered how theyo come, just so long as he has some. I thought the sacks would make it easier to distinguish who presents are who's.

    Thanks GISI - fleecy pj's, dressing gown and fluffy slippers already on the list with fleecy blanket. I think they are mad, but it's a break is'nt it?

    Do you have any frozen puff pastry? I would do a square of that, topped with some caramelised onions with balsamic, then a slice of goat's cheese on top. Bake in the oven and serve on a few rocket leaves. Looks good but is dead easy (and is my failsafe starter).

    But SS's mushrooms sound amazing and may be what I'm having for my tea since I was trying to think of ways to use us hummous.

    So I could buy the puff pastry, how do I do the onions?

    Not mentioning the car MFD, too jealous....
    Too many children, too little time!!!

    Just slice a couple of onions, fry them until soft the add some balsamic and a pinch of sugar to caramelise them. Or cheat and use a bought onion relish.


    We need to know your news Mel!

    :eek: Have you not done it before? I've had it since I left home. I just go round estimating and adding everything up every two or three years. Depending on what the items are, I go on what it would cost if I had to instantly replace things rather than what they actually cost me. Although I don't think I'd ever replace my stamp collection if it was stolen - I'd be too upset.

    I should really go around and do that too, but have guesstimated for now!

    Sometimes these catalogue companies are good with codes, think thats the 2nd I have had off littlewoods, funny though as my 1st order was using the £30 off £60 new customer code, then 2nd they send me a £10 voucher as I hadnt ordered for a while, and now this :) I love free/ cheap stuff!!

    I think the council rent thing sucks so much.

    I get loads of littlewoods offers sent too, also had a £10 of £15 spend so bought T a lil dress and paid off the reminder with my comission. Its a nice dress but no way I was paying £15 for it!
