Thanks Kevie – will give it a go then. Thanks also Mandco for the spongebob info.

Freespirit – if karma really works then your DS should reapsome amazing benefits soon. It must beso frustrating for him – I have a degree and don’t really use it but that’s bychoice. Our lovely (but soon to be ex) neighboursboth have degrees - she works in a local deli and he has a masters but works inthe t-mobile shop. So much for graduatesearning more. ‘You know where’ is afranchise though so he may get a completely different reception at the otherbranch – fingers crossed.

Poppygirl – don’t give up on the Range, their homewears arefabulous so I’d definitely recommend an evening visit without the OH.

Talking of the Range – we’re getting one woo hoo! :j Or at least I think we are. I was looking on a jobs website and therewere vacancies for warehouse staff for the Range for a ‘new store’ in MiltonKeynes – haven’t seen any publicity but there is an extension of one of ourexisting shopping complexes going on and I’ve got everything crossed it’s goingto be there.

Off now to update myself against OMO's list

Sorry am on phone and tge bloomin thing wint let me delete some of quote. Lol. Im mk and im led to believe its going on winterhill opposite homebase.

I am feeling much better today. I had a rough night freezing cold so took some paracetamol then was boiling hot. hope to get a good night's sleep today. Unfortunately I had to go back to work today - only an hour but it still cuts into the day

OMO I didn't feel at all pressured by your fab list, it will help me get organised so thank you for all your hard work

peppapig lucky you getting 'the Range', we don't have one near here

snugglebunny thanks for the link for the yankee candles. I will have a look then decide which to buy...mmm think it could be all of them

fatblackandwhite that is a good price for the snowman/father Christmas DVD

freespirit that was a really kind thing of your ds to do. sorry he had such a bad interview today, that woman was so rude. I think good for him that he is looking for jobs in all areas not just graduate jobs. good luck for his interview tomorrow, fingers crossed.

steph glad you had a good day in school. what age were you working with? fingers crossed there will be jobs available in January

jemtom I am sure your gift tags will be lovely. glad the box for your ds' hamper is big enough, it sounds a fab present.

feisty good idea about the facebook page. I love your tags, they are fab

Evening all

I'm very tempted to make little hampers for my parents this year. I might put them by the tree early Christmas morning (I'm usually up before them). Just thinking of popping a few little treats inside, maybe those satsumas from Mr T and any other freebies I may get my hands on between now and Christmas. Shall have a think what to put inside!

**Edit** Ooops! I meant stockings! Not hampers! haha!! I'd been looking at the hamper picture thread and had them on the mind

Evening all!

I made cake pops in the style of cinders bath bomb for our Staff Christmas reveal on friday and they came out so well, and were dead easy to make. I am thinking I might make lots of mini versions of cake pops for people for Christmas presents this year instead of the shortbread lol.

I have to say I felt like wonder woman on Friday I got up was sick about 3 times made cake and then cake pops and a swiss roll all before going to work at 2. I was impressed.

Winter is going to be hard on me this year I'm feeling it already. But I refuse to put the heating on yet. lol.

Hope we are all well, I must get back into posting daily.

Love and hugs xx

I was in Newport today so had a quick look around. Noticed Primark had some lovely Xmas throws for £5. Have to remember to buy 2 this year as both DD's argued over last years one!! 2014 annuals were buy one get one for a pound. I picked up a Terrys Chocolate Orange from Morrisons as they were £1 and I've added it to my stash. DD2 wants the logo board game and this was reduced from £25 to £18 in WH Smith - haven't checked online so I will have to do some comparison checking.
