    What a lovely way to spend your Saturday afternoon :) I want to do some baking with my DD, was looking in T yesterday for a rolling pin and they are £5.50 :eek: surely they're cheaper somewhere else? I'm sure I saw cheaper ones in TKMaxx! :eek:
    You can get a nice bottle of wine for that much (and drink it after using it for a rolling pin:beer:)
