    It might come to that as there are no suitable ones in ours!

    How about a Christmas pudding bin bag - I think somewhere normal sells them - Home Bargains, B & M or suchlike ...

    These are a good idea if you want to add to a collection of small odds and ends - print off and add to a festive mug or beer glass etc

    Made these for my dad, cost me £1 each for the bottle carriers from Poundland, saved the gold string stuff from a Birthday prezzie wrapping. The Blind Pig ciders were free with cash back. He'll be well pleased with them

    My friend has done exactly the same thing for her dad :D
  • Just won free dough balls with pizza express :). Message #shakethetree on fb messenger to PE

    Thank you for mentioning that, just won a pizza, no idea what size though!

  • Afternoon all Picked up some pigs in blankets,sausage meat and cocktail sausages in Ws this morning all half price in their one day deals unfortunately till saw it as half price too so conditional spend didn't kick in. Still one less job done and can just shove in oven Xmas Day - no prep or clearing up :)

    Then onto T's and got 2 huge cauliflowers for 39p each - much better quality than the large ones which I have paid £1.85 in the past:eek:
    Also got the Ocean Spray juice for 17p thanks braveheart.

    Just learnt BA cabin crew have voted to strike - not that I blame them as some of them are really poorly paid but we had planned to go escape to Oz for whole of Jan. Might have to reroute via States as seats will be in short supply. Will look at that later as want a read back with my cuppa to see what you are all up to.

    Might try that, thanks.

    I have lashed loads of bubble wrap around it, 'cos he is a bit of a vicious cockerel!

    Might stick him in one of the old felt 'stockings' that the girls had when they were younger, their presents this year are much smaller and much more expensive:eek:

    Just had a giggle ... I could give her a c ock in a sock!
