Feeling very festive today. Haven't managed to do much as the OH decided his early Christmas gift to me was his germs. So feeling rather rough today.

Managed to get the first trail batch of truffles done. I always do these as a trail - each time, Adding something "special" to the mix. So far, I've done plain white & plain dark choc. The baileys ones got eaten yesterday and i never even got a look in, As OH decided he was going to test them whilst i was in the bath.

Anyways. Whist im watching Christmas movies, With a hot drink & MSE-ing, I'm writing my crimbo card list ready for writing tonight! Has anyone in their local area's noticed that their local post office is running short of stamps. Been to 2 places so far and neither of them had any 12 book of stamps?? Plus, I'm worrying & pulling my hair out as ive ordered a fair amount from amazon, And currently none of its arrived! It was due Fri gone and still haven't heard a thing...Starting to think i may well have been scammed....Will wait for a few extra days to see what the results going to be!

This weekend, We've decided that its time to get the decs & tree down ready for the 1st, Giving it team to "air" As the dust in the attic is horrid! :O We're also going to look out for some festive online bargains...

Hope everyone's having a decent day - Try and stay safe in this gloomy dark, wet weather! x

Hi
I've ordered lots from amazon and its all come, no probs. Their customer service direct from the website ring you straight back I've always rung when I've had an issue and they've sorted it. Although if the items are from different companies on amazon they might need contacting direct. Hope it comes soon x

Hi All
Big hugs to all those having a hard time at the moment.
Big well-done to all the christmassy makes.
Big "jelous" eyes to those who are going to see nativity 2, thing were going to have to wait till middle of december!

On a possitive note, I am an extremely proud mummy, 5yo dd has been chosen to play Mary in the school nativity!!! She has quite a few lines to learn, but she's a natural at that kind of stuff & i just know she will be fantastic (maybe im a little biassed!). So if anyone spots a decent Mary costume on their travels, pls let me know. I would like to spend less than £10 as im not sure how much wear she will get from it!

I view the picture in photobucket. On the left hand side there are 4 columns, click the bottom one and copied will appear.

Open a post on here and right click then copy. Your picture should then appear.

Glad I could help.
I meant to quote you in the post, but obviously double clicked it. I was only popping on and didn't have time to repost.

I often buy from amazon, and the only time I have ever had a problem was 2 years ago when some dvds were delayed because of the snow. After 2 weeks they still hadnt arrived so I contacted amazon & they sent replacements, which arrived the very next day! 2 days later the original order arrived, and when i phoned amazon they told me to keep them all for my honesty, and they had also refunded all payment as way of apology for the delay! I gave the extra dvds to my local surestart centre, as they were all disney princess ones!
If you have used supersaver delivary they will combine your order into as few packages as possible, and this can often extend delivary times. Check on your account page & track parcel, make sure it still shows an estimated delivary & doesnt appear as a completed order, if it does, you need to contact them asap. hth

Hi everyone!

I have finally got all the bits to make up my pots of Christmas, but I am HOPELESS with thinking up a rhyme/poem to write on the tag. This is all I've come up with, but I'm not totally happy with it...

"I made this pot of Christmas cheer especially for you
Enjoy the chocs and I wish you luck for a festive win this year"

If anyone can think of something else, I'd be very grateful. It's just not my area of expertise!

Here's a pic of some of them-I'm making 10 or 12, but not all have the cross stitch hangers to go inside.







They all contain chocolate coins, choc snowmen, choc money note and either a mini twix, gold bar or Ferrero rocher and a Christmas scratchcard. Some contain a Christmas magnet too.

They look fab!
