EA Chutneys are easy hun, im making caramelised onion one this weekend to give as gifts, I'll let you know how it goes.. Aless posted the recipe link quite a few pages back, but im opting for the one without caraway seeds as I cant find any.... LOL

Wilma - were you at morry's today? Im convinced I saw you.....

82 pampers baby dry for £7, not as great as the 2 for £10 i got on them last time but better value than the BOGOF 32 packs at 6.49 that was being advertised as uber fantastic....

Havent read back very far so apologies if i missed any news. Back at GP's tomorrow, HV today was uneventful, she couldnt comment on the massage incident because she didnt know anything but did give me contact details of someone else to complain too further....

Got yet another posting for Vertbaudet, £10 off £20 spend and a free wall hanging advent calendar... i'm off to investigate

EA in the inlaws hamper last year we had

Green and black small choc bars
flapjack bars
tin of biscuits
Fancy tea bags
Fancy Coffee
Jam
Honey
Marmalde
Chutney
small bottles of fancy juice in glass bottles
oatcakes

It was all little things i knew they would like and use, if you buy a little a week it will soon add up and be great! check out places like home bargains and poundland for little things! i think i may make them another this year! may ask for the basket so i can refill it PMSl!
In Laws love gifts like this, last year we didnt have a lot of money at MIL birthday so i baked her a huge tray of cakes and she was over the moon! sometimes it the simpilest of gifts that are the best

great news buttons!

Jillie my Oh would kill me for putting a pick like that up but it would be funny hehehehe!

Pink Princess I would be tempted to just wrap an empty box and see if they say anything.

I decided that I had better test the halloween sweets.... but obviously I hadnb't washed my hands enough... SALTY!!!! BLeughrgh!!!!

Demo of the leapfrog tag http://www.leapfrog.com/en_gb/new_home/Tag_Library.html
Its a thing that helps them read a book, they do a junior one too but I read that the jnr books work with the normal tag

It looks easy, but i know i will screw it up :rotfl:

I dont even know what a preserving pot is!:o

SeptemberBaby_2

Wow, PP! :eek:

I think they would be getting a goat or similar to a third world country from me this year. They don't even need to open the giftcard but others more grateful would feel the benefit .

Im thinking for our parents im going to make them a small hamper this year.

I am going to bake a small cake to put in, and im not sure what else.

ASDA are doing the little alcohol gift sets for £5, but ILs dont drink anymore. So maybe a hot chocolate set?

And i cant think of anything else to put in. Im looking through the xmas crafting ideas thread on SO and i love some of the ideas, especially the chocolate ones

I've done an after dinner hamper before that would work well with a cake. I did After Eights (£land), biscuits, real coffee (I could sort you out a bag if you like) and then snowman soup for children http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=14768667&postcount=12.
