Can I ask you lot a question please? Well maybe just one or two of you

I'm off to Oxford for Easter and wondered if Hotel Chocolat is open Sunday or Monday?

Yes I still have some to collect and DH and I could only have one each in Norwich

Watton is quite a drive from Oulton Broad and I'm not sure there is enough there for a day out.

Lowestoft and surrounding area has loads of places to see and things to do.

I quite often go to Lowestoft for the day in warmer weather

Thanks. Have you ever been to Africa Alive in Kessingland? DH wants to take LO there but don't like paying £43 if its not that great.

:hello:Afternoon lovelies, I've been AWOL the last couple of days, been very busy with bits and pieces. Got an awful migraine today so feeling pretty yuck, sinuses are all blocked so sat here with my smelling salts! Will be steaming my face in a min

Went to see Grease the musical last night with the girls ahhhh it was sooooo fabby! :jAlso made some MSE Easter pressies for my cousins but my camera wasn't charged so I couldn't take a piccie to share! I was so proud of them too. I might make one for my neighbour's little girl though Mum says they're moaning that she's having too much chocolate! Doh! Easter gifts surely have to be chocolate based!

What I did was melted a pack of caramel galaxy promises with a little butter and added T's value cornflakes ensuring they were well covered in the mixture.

Then I used a pudding bowl to create a 'nest' shape with the mixture. Popped it in the freezer for 10 mins to set and then gently prised it out.

I plaited 1p Shrek witches hair laces and draped them around the nest. Then I melted milk choc (HK/Cars 1p buttons) in a bowl, unwrapped a Hello Kitty xmas ball tree dec, either drizzled the melted choc onto it or dipped half of the ball in it, then rolled them in 100's and 1000's or stuck smarties on or edible glitter etc etc. Pop in freezer to ensure they're set completely.

Each nest held 3 balls then I piled on lots of other sweets (1p HK/Cars buttons, 10p Cadbury snow bites, 25p tube of smarties, 1p Haribo sparkly stars, 1p Promises and a few 1p TCO segments) Then I sprinkled the whole lot with edible glitter courtesy of Smart1e and the £5 Ebay voucher (Thank you!!) Then I wrapped it in 99p Lidl cellophane and used pink and yellow raffia ribbon to tie it all up and pretty metallic card cut from a b'day card formed a pretty tag.

Know this is a little bit long winded but I wanted to illustrate how even if you don't have much money (and if you haven't been lucky enough to get eggs free on dtd) you can actually create amazing, unique gifts for very little money :T

Hope you're all well. Have I missed much?? :A

Thanks to Scamps for the new thread :T

No T's or A's for me yesterday! :eek::p:o

Just saw the 'latest news' about Tesco rebranding their Value range, could be an opportunity for some 1p items for the old stock.....
