fFound a cheap tablecloth tonight - T's Terracotta Spot Wipe Clean (bc ends 6676) for the grand sum of 58p! It's this one:

The packaging is the same as all the other wipe clean ones.
I think I was the only person in there tonight not doing Christmas shopping...scanned the whole stationery aisle but NO cheap craft bits

Something odd is afoot here;) I saw the wipe clean tablecloths on post 5863 and got a couple as well as notifying other thread locals by PM yesterday. It was the Blue Star wipe clean b/c 1997 (which I think was different to the OPs?) with a stuck on barcode label over the original printed packaging. I noticed that the orignal packaging describes it as Tablecloth-Teracota spot (and no that's not a typo on my part of Teracota):):)

I`m not sure how long other cakes from posters took on here.I just know if I had not used a oven thermometer my cake would have been burnt after 2hrs.My oven was running at a higher temperature then it should have been.Oven temperatures vary so much Lalala


BTW oven thermometers are only a few pounds to buy and are really handy to have

Where would you recommend getting one from?:)

I wasnt around for the TCO deal but did see them in Sainsburys for £1 today. Too many mingles in the house for me to be tempted though.

yes it was pointed to the OP that sainsburys have them cheaper....how many of us would pay anywhere near £1 for them ?!:rotfl:
