  • I splurged £35 today on some clip top jars for the Christmas chutney - just because they look nice in my hampers when decorated with snowflake ribbon :o

    Confession time - when I had more money than sense, I actually sourced the exact cut out felt snowflake ribbon from Australia :o:o:o

    After the all over body rash that accompanied the trout pout, the skin is starting to peel off my feet :eek:

  • Ow - sounds sore / itchy :(

    If the exact snowflake cut out ribbon Brought You Joy, no need to confess … if not, well recognised :)

    I can honestly say I have never bought cut out felt ribbon, from Australia or anywhere else, to decorate any of my homemade chutney. Seeing as how I have never made homemade chutney :D.

    :eek: to feet :eek:. Best not do any walking then :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • :rotfl:Much though I'm sure your toes are not (generically) horrible, no I did indeed mean the ribbon.

    Very beauteous - how funny though that it came from Oz where there is no snow at Christmas, and that Nigella presumably also sourced from there!

    Impressed girls still laying despite the gales ...
