Yayy, snow!!

I didn't get any, but it was very cold. Fingers crossed we get some white stuff this year.

aaargh I have just typed a long post and have lost it all:(

I am sorry that I have fallen behind with the thread again but I have got so many fab ideas that I must try harder.

archiebear thanks for posting about the HP sauce and bread plate. My OH loves a bacon sandwich on a week end and this would be perfect for him. I am struggling to think of ideas for him so this will be great. They also have a set of two ketchup cones which I might buy for the boys.

Thank you also to the person who mentioned the Dr Who monopoly. My two love Dr Who and the eldest is a huge fan/geek.

I was in homebase last weekend and they had some really cute house doorstops. I bought one for my mum and one for my MIL. I am making them both a hamper, not themed just general. My MIL has a nut allergy so I don't put food or drink in her's which makes it a bit harder.

I still haven't bought the onesies - payday on Wednesday:j
I was in Durham this morning and saw a student walking around in a onesie. Is the expensive ones that have a onesie label on the pocket?

thank to everyone for your great ideas...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Snow !!!!!!!

I have to drive 8 miles on country lanes to get to work. We get really bad drifts when it snows. I can't afford not to get to work.

**LET IT SNOW** on SAT 22nd DEC. It can snow for 10 days solid then.:rotfl:

I love the snow, but hate being snowed in! Can we have snow on Christmas Eve please but all be gone the day after Boxing Day so I can go shopping!

It is sooooo annoying when you lose a post.

Until you mentioned homebase I had totally forgot I saw these in there this afternoon.

Chilli plants £2.99



Could be good for a food hamper.

Has anyone here ever made their own chocolate slaps? I really want to try it this year as a little extra for a few people but not sure if it will work out how I imagine it to! Lol.

OMG can't believe people have had snow already!

It was really cold here; so cold that after setting out me and DD had to nip back home and get changed into boots and coats LOL

I love snow but agree it would be really nice if it could wait until 22nd Dec when we are all off work!

I make mine in loaf tins or small cake tins.

They are very easy. I will make some this evening and post some pics.
I need an excuse to do some. It is a little early for presents, but I am sure we could manage to eat them.:rotfl:

We had snow last night. the roads were clear this morning but there was alot in the garden and on cars. I like snow but only if I don't have to drive.
