I was in B & M yesterday and on a moshi theme I found
Moshi toothbrush 99p
4 different types of moshi socks 99p
Moshi lip gloss gift set £2.99
Moshi nail varnish gift set £2.99

Some lovely xmas food in Lidl today but I resolutely walked by with my head firmly looking in the opposite direction - repeat to self "I will not buy any stollen until December .."

FYI - anyone who was wondering (as I was and I think someone asked). Rudolph (the 1964 one that the board game is based on). and Rudolph and the island of misfit toys (the 2004 one) are DIFFERENT films but have the same characters. --- at least the beginnings which is all i've watched so far are completly different.

Possesion - I too have been chasing the elusive straight edged trifle bowl ever since I saw that chef Lorraine somthing?making an amazing one where the layer of strawberries could be seen. They are all a bit on the pricy side though.

I've been out of it with crafting the last week or so and addicted to pinterest,but I've got all my labels done for the snowman soup, grinch pills and pots of gold. Managed to get cellophane cones,ordered pack of 50 as it worked out a bit cheaper thatway, and 2 huge bags of mini marshmallows from L*dl 79p a bag.

Went a bit mad in T'sco yesterday, they were putting out all the sweets, bics etc but got some great tins of shortbread with lovely vintage scenes for £4, really big tine, said they would be £6 soon. Also picked up a stash of jars of things like antipasti, artichokes etc 79p each intead of £2.99, nice ones not own brand, going to make some food hampers so they can go in.

Love reading about all your bargains and plans, really inspiring! x

Now I think about it I'm complicating matters too as I would need to take it to my parents which is a 3 hr drive away, so it should probably come in a decent box. Which probably rules out the Ikea one.
I can't decide between something like this:

and something like this:
http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/5021/winter-berry-trifle
or this:
http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/155633/ruby-fruit-jelly-trifle
or this:
http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/8572/winter-berry-trifle-with-caramel-shards
or the Lorraine Pascale strawberry one.

Like the look of the winter berry one and it's in the exact dish I'd love to get my mits on. I remember she said on the programme she got the dish froma well know department store but I've searched and searched...
Just googled pampered chef one and it looks amazing with the plastic lid and the base is separate from the dish.

I wonder if will-be-debt-free is holding a little bundle of joy yet.
I do hope so, and that they all doing well:grouphug:

What's going on in this world ?

Only ONE of these TRIFLES has JELLY in it.:(

Trifle with BANANAS in it ? NO ! Bananas stop the JELLY setting. (As does kiwi, if anyone fancied making kiwi trifle with JELLY):rotfl:
