Just spotted these in poundland and thought they would be wonderful for Christmas presents and obviously just £1! It holds 4 cupcakes and even has cute little cupcake wrappers too

:( Dd best friend is sleeping tonight. Just had a call from her Dad to ask if she can stay here tomorrow. The house they are attached to is on fire, and the fire brigade are trying to stop it spreading through the roof :(

I feel like crying. The family whose house is alight have a small baby and a teenage son. :(

But on a positive note they are all safe and unharmed.

Thats terrible but glad they are alright. I went through the same thing when I was 13 and we were only woken by a lorry driver banging on the doors to wake people up! (lucky it was a main road) Ive never been able to sleep on my own since so goodness knows how your dd friend is feeling

Just found out I'm being laid off from work just in time for Christmas so my Xmas Spirit has evaporated. Love this thread though it's making me feel a little better.

Hi! I've been lurking for awhile and the ideas on here are brilliant! I saw a sleigh on here I think it was made of cardboard ( it was lost and then found in the kitchen! ) is there a template for it?

no i just used a box and painted the 2 smaller ends then cut out a sleigh shape for the 2 sides - i cant draw to save my life so i was rather pleased with how it turned out, i just looked at pics off google and tried my best! the op for this idea was omo so she might have a better way of doing it :rotfl:

Had quite a christmas filled day!! Started the day with some overtime so theres another small pot of cash ready for Decembers payday and also took part in part 1 of 3 evenings doing a medical research trial which is paying £175! It will helps I guess! Our christmas market opened its gates today at midday so as soon as I finished work I met up with my friend, sister and her OH to wander around, was lovely - they were even brave enough to try a kangaroo burger, Im not quite brave enough though! Went to prim@rk and got the silver light up tree / cones today for £4 each so got 4 for our set of desks at work (thankfully theres 3 or 4 of us chipping in with the cost) I also got some more chocolate and cupcake moulds to try mini slabs with cant wait Got the watch sorted yesterday a company on ebay have exactly what I needed to "moderise" the watch so OH will actually / hopefully wear it, if not at least it cost me nothing (free gift with avon) Got a lovely box from c@rd factory to put it in (£1.49!) and they are doing tissue paper with stickers and confetti for 99p a pack (bargain I thought!) Even got a few dry cupboard items in tescos today towards the christmas treats and keep getting more tesco £1 tokens for the book, we should have about £19 which will really help towards the turkey or christmas dinner by the way we are going with the tokens! Funny how you never miss £1 coins as much as you miss a big dent in the shopping with your debit card! Need to remember to keep this up all year though. Really badly sore with flu like systems though so soon as I got home striaght into pjs and hot water bottle and practically threw myself into the corner of the sofa with flu tabs and orange juice (so much for the flu jab helping!!)

Anyway hope you're all having a great weekend, been lovely to come on here and catch up! Tomorrow I plan on trying the truffle recipe I saw here earlier in the week and the mini slabs and maybe a few more chocolate spoons - love lazy Sundays

Open a photobucket account. It is very easy.

They also have a phone app.

Then upload pics from your computer or phone.

Open the library,on the right hand side is a box with 4 inner boxes. Press the bottom one, and your pic will automatically copy.

Come back to this site and right click in post box then paste.

Hope this makes sense.

Sliegh wasn't my idea, but I would do it that way.
Use an old shoe box. Cut to sides from stiff card and stick on sides. Decorate. xx
