Good Afternoon :santa2:

What a miserable one it is, we've had really bad wind and rain nearly all day:eek:


I need the help of the elite ...pretty please

What do you buy as a Christmas present for a 80 year old woman who hardly eats enough to feed a mouse, doesn't go anywhere, has no interests in anything...and says flowers give her a head ache!!

I'm super stuck!! Last year it was a silk scarf and an amaryllis the same as the year before and a calendar, which shed guessed by poking at the wrapping even before Christmas eve

I was wondering if you can buy really big print word searches anywhere? Or if the experienced elite had any other suggestions?
Thank you my lovely's

A toyboy in a Tarzan outfit;):D:D

I used the meerkat movie code today for the 1st time and a great investment for £2.02 for 2 for 1 cinema tickets for a year:cool::cool:

Good afternoon everyone :xmassign:

If you had the time or could get one of the children to do it
A cheap mp3 player with headphones and download at lot of 40/50/60/70 music onto it, my friend did this for her mum( who's in her 90's) and she really enjoys it, brings back very fond memories for her

Had 2 failed cooking attempts trying to make rocky road of all things. Chocolate melted fine, all looking good until I added butter and syrup as per recipe, then just went into a solid mass. Had to add some frosties (no cornflakes or rice crispies) and kind of squidge them in to the chocolate mass, so now we have balls of chocolate frostie cakes!

Second attempt I did things a bit different, didn't add syrup as I thought that had been the problem, but did add butter. Same thing happened. :mad:

Put a bit of oil in (google suggestion) but didn't help much. Mixed some of the dry ingredients into it (biscuits, glace cherries and sultanas) and again squidged into little balls and put into petit four cases. DD had wanted to make it to give to her boyfriends parents. Still tastes good, but doesn't look as neat and tidy and will be harder to package.

Went through 8 bars of value milk chocolate during the 2 attempts, all out of it now!

Does she live on her own, and nearby to you? If yes to both, maybe a book of homemade vouchers, with things you could do for her like mowing the lawn, window cleaning, hoovering etc?

Is she related to you? Big collage of photos in a frame of children/grandchildren etc?

I think there was a way not to pay for it at all, as I've got the app and I know I didn't pay. Possibly a glitch where it was letting you get and use the app just for a quote? I can't remember now.
