I can't open that page Alison but it might be a Christmas countdown - you know the number of days until the 25th december, changes every day


*** ah, I can see the banner, just not the rest of the page - it seems to be an offer to join a research panel ***

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

Finishing off my quotes/facts in tins yesterday and our oldest lad we foster said 'I want one'.............so, I'm going to do a journal one for him - found some questions but am going to add more of my own so that its more personal to him and his situation.
(Thats something else on my list of 'stuff to do'.....................oh eck !!)

Have decided to start again with baby socks filled with lavender.........house smelt so much of it last night it was driving OH daft.............gonna have to re-think that one.

I washed one of these jars out today.:D

I'm going to fill it with old fashioned sweets for my dad's hamper. To buy in the shops they're ridiculously epensive. Some are £10!!!:eek::eek::eek:

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...
