I have updated the above post - it was His Missus that first found the reindeer cardi. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=56564895&postcount=5842 (if you want to thank her).

Evening all,

Right been a busy day....went to primark and tried on navy Santa jumper, seems I cannot pull off navy and the whole time I had it on I kept thinking blue is for boys(I know its not just for boys really but it didn't look good on me.) So went to get the penguin one and they didn't have my size So now I have no Christmas jumper. Did see the spiderman onesie and after mentioning the hulk one to OH to see if he would wear one am going to go back to get Spiderman one another time.

I bought some of those HB Christmas mugs today

Haven't seen any Christmas pyjamas I liked. Seen the snowman marshmallows.

Got an email from Hobbycraft - they have 3 for 2 on preserve making.
So lots of jars in email:
1.9 oz hexagonal jar 79p.
3.8oz Hexagonal for £1.00
8 oz hexagonal £1.29
1lb round £1.49
2lb round £1.99
35oz deluxe £3.49

Not sure if that is cheap or expensive but hope it helps if someone is stuck for jars.

I'm not sure yet if I want more of them for my snowman soups for friends or not, part of me does think I could find some cheaper, I think these will end up being mine and mums for our Christmas eve hamper :A

Now I'm off to look at hobby craft I don't know anything about it so it must be worth a look :rotfl:

Pineapple Jam made in breadmaker
Originally posted by Cathy :

Pineapple Jam

1 1/4lbs of pineapple diced ( or one 20-ounce tin crushed pineapple in syrup)

1 1/4 pounds sugar
half bottle of pectin (in the baking section supermarket)

First, prepare the fruit. Measure contents of one can crushed
pineapple. Add enough water to make 20 oz Place in very large saucepan

Then make the jam. Measure sugar and set aside. Mix pectin
into fruit in saucepan. Place over high heat and stir until mixture
comes to a full boil. Immediately add all sugar and stir. Bring to
a full rolling boil and boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and skim off foam with a metal spoon. Ladle quickly
into hot sterilized jars


Why do half days at work feel longer than whole days

Popped into 99p store before work and got these :D:D


Am going to put our Celebrations and Heros in 2 and Toffees/Mints in the third.

As you can see, I got my Bah Humbug decs for my Dads Hamper :j

They also had these. Sorry can't remember who was asking about mugs .



I got all the chocolate and toppings for my Chocolate slabs. Am just waiting on these Penguin moulds from Ebay, and I ready to go.
