I want to make more presents this year too, trouble is I have no talent and no ideas, not a good combination

Ideas you can find in th Christmas Gift threads 'cos they're not all santa clauses and reindeer, and there are others in a wedding gifts thread.

Driving the search engine is your first job

If I get a minute I'll do some looking myself.

Moggins, you don't need to be creative to print off headed note paper, although it helps if you have a user friendly printer & clip art:o I'm using this birthday present as a trial run before doing it for Xmas pressies for long distante relatives, shouldn't be expensive to post to them. Oh I might add a sheet of "Airmail" lables too! I plan to try & get it done for about 5 people in July when my maternity leave starts, to try & get ahead of the game:rotfl:

Well, I managed to tear myself away from here long enough this afternoon to make a couple of Banana Choc Chip loaves which are due out of the oven any moment mmmmmm

I thought I'd offer you all a slice though ...




... and in true OS fashion, I'm going to wrap the second one up for DS's friend to take home for tea, as his dad's a single parent and not great in the kitchen department

Enjoy!


PS After I've done a taste test (not tried this recipe before) I'll post it up on the recipe board

yum, that looks lovely, C-Q.

And, can I say, what a lovely thought. I am sure your DS's friend and Dad will be thrilled.

Now, I am sure that postage costs to scotland aren't that expensive...........

Hehehe I could set up a little business here


... and on that note I'm going AWOL for 45 mins as my fav chef is on Ready Steady Cook now :j :drool:

Just glad the snooker and cricket and whatever else has been replacing it the last couple of weeks has ended :rolleyes:

Squeaky, me and this search engine have not got on since I found this site, everytime I ask it to search for something it just tells me "no results found". It hates me I swear

I know Squeeky is finding this for you but to help with searches:

Try posting your searches without capital letters at the start of the word you want to search for and, limit your search to as few a words as possible because it looks for threads with every word you type exactly as you type it.

It isn't as clever as Google, if you search for 'homemade gifts for example homemade stationary' if for example isn't written anywhere on the gifts page it won't bring the gifts page up. Try 'homemade gifts' and if that doesn't work try 'gifts' try it with and without the plural too.

I couldn't get the search to work either until I started doing this.

Any chance of a cadbury's hot chocolate with full whack squirty cream and marshmallows on top? Failing that a diet coke please :rotfl:
