*Stop The Cavalry* It's The 2014 Christmas Chatter Thread

It is really easy, just be sure to sieve the icing sugar and then stir and stir and stir, otherwise it can look a bit like it's snowed on your fudge, but then again maybe that would be suitably Christmassy?

If anyone else is like me and likes to have a visual demonstration before attempting recipes, I believe this is Kirsty showing us how it's done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlJxHntgwo0

Now I would like to get a mischievous elf to hide around the house throughout December. I think my little boy would really enjoy this. Where can I find one?

Last year the card factory did some lovely elves for 99p each.
my laptop is playing up but if you google card factory elf and search images they come up. They had red and grenn and they are so cute xxx

Hi reporting for duty, been rushing about like a lunatic, acheiving not a lot. Dgs started senior school andis not enjoying homework, and has his first detention today. I am a bit narked about it, as it was given because he did not bring a book to a lesson, the reason he didnt bring it, the teacher said he had to get a cover for it before end of the week, so he left it with me so l could take it to buy said cover!,, Ah well, thats life. I am enjoying the late summer weather and working in the garden, getting ready for winter. Also drowning in tomatoes, bumper crop, so giving loads away, if you are near, bring a barrow and help yourselves.
Hugs to everone cos l like hugs, now off to make (tomato based) tea for dgs and me.
Hope things settle down pk, xxxxx
