Wedding Anniversary today and in the wonderful world of Facebook, it reminds you of memories from this day X number of years ago. Five years ago I posted a picture of the back garden knee deep in snow, this year is soo much warmer!

Happy Anniversary silvercar :beer:

on the subject of presents.....be careful what you ask for. I recently asked for diamonds for my birthday and I got them

Have you used it fc? I've got really dry skin on my feet and was considering getting one. Sorry to hear you've been out of sorts. Your Christmas day sounds like it will be great with such a house Full!

Happy anniversary silvercar.:beer:

Can anyone give me a failsafe recipe for shortbread? Seeing it mentioned so much I really fancy giving it a go. Also need to marzipan the cake today as forgot yesterday! :rotfl:

Morning

I am on a decent chocolate coin hunt today. I couldn't find any in Ts yesterday. :eek: I usually have them by now but forgot this year.

In fact the Xmas/seasonal aisle only had one side stocked that's not looking good for the sales!! The other side already had cleaning stuff I think.
