For those of you who are looking for ideas to raise money for schools etc, have any of you heard of pinterest?

https://www.pinterest.com

Its not focused on fundraising, its got everything and anything on there, but I found lots of ideas for cakes, craft stall, gift stall etc on there (plus lots of other things for home!) I especially like the recycling ideas as its possible to make things for very little money that could be sold (I made some handbags out of old jeans for example)

I love pintertest !!!!

Can any of you wonderful Elite tell me the cheapest way to send a parcel to America? Daughter doing a years placement with Walt Disney and it is her birthday end of the month - would so like her to have a parcel to open but worried the postage will cost more than the parcel - any ideas???

You can buy from amazon.com from here and have it delivered to Disney or there is a company near there that do gift baskets and deliver, I can try and find it if you like.

Must pop to Sainsbobs tonight to use up my £10 BM, not sure if I will do a targetted shop or just get a few bits and bobs

Did you know that you can use this in Tesco now too? ( probably already knew) - I only saw the posters yesterday ! But good that they are taking competitors vouchers again - all be it only APG/BM and £5 off etc!

I've seen somewhere you can make a stained glass effect by baking/ melting different colours of boiled sweets within a biscuit mix. Try googling it? Or does Jumblejack know?

I was watching this on 4OD last night, funnily enough. Look up superscrimpers Christmas. Basically, have 2 similar cookie cutters in different sizes.

Put greased paper/parchment on your tray before you begin.
Cut out the centre of the cookie with the smaller cutter and pop any boiled sweet in the centre. Bake as normal.
Allow to cool on the paper before removing.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to order her something from Amazon.com or ebay.com and have it delivered to her? Amazon do gift wrapping too.

Its just about as adictive as glitching! I often just click 'everything' to see what random thing is being pinned!

If only I actually DID any of the things I have on my boards, I would be such a wholesome mum, with a fantastic house, great clothes style, wonderful cooking skills and amazing kids! :rotfl::rotfl:

Easy to do, I challenge you! Wait till a kit kat / smarties offer though or it can pricey to make
