As far as I know, Pinecone is a market research company who pay you for completing online surveys. The only way to join them is via banners found on sites and not via their own website. I've just enetered my details on this one and will see what happens...

I've just discovered that snowman soup is a hot chocolate drink - I thought it was bubble bath :rotfl: :rotfl:
Last year, DS got a bottle of clear bubble bath and in it were some white polystyrene beads, 2 small black buttons a plastic scarf and a small carrot shape .
I realise now that it must have been a melted snowman 0 -

Look in supermarkets - they have many of our old favourites for less. Try my supermarket (through a cashback site - you get paid to join and if you spend) that will then give you an idea of the cheapest places to buy stuff. Some of the wedding sites do retro sweets - I'm told there is one called something like a quarter of... The market often also has retro sweets...Little_Chicken wrote: »I washed one of these jars out today.:D
