    Im used to no replies. I have replied to MHOC twice about her knives, and she never replies to me. That poor ignore button must be well worn out ;):p


    Anyway, G I N
    Now I have the attention of the ones who dont have me on ignore :D I am making a gin hamper. I have a couple of nice glasses, loads of bottles of fever tree tonic, some gin (obvs) and going t put a lemon and cucumber in nearer the time. I am also trying to get some fever tree stirrers and beer mats to put in, any clues what else I could put in please? TIA
    Some sort of nice nibbles? Pretzels/Olives that sort of thing? Perhaps some of those plastic ice cube things and Angostura Bitters to turn their gin pink.

    Sure you mean coasters and not beer mats! :rotfl:

    Yes, I thought of ice cube tray, but had forgot again, great idea, I looked for their initials, but could not find them. Nibbles, yes, cashew nuts, xmas twigletts.

    So pleased that you're having a great day, doesn't it feel weird when or children are all grown up and pay for things!! Very nice weird though!!

    It is nice pippo.....I’m already excited about our grown up Christmas together again.

    Mainly centred around food and drink of course:D

    I’m going to have a look in Aldi this year for meats. They are doing a £9.99 chateaubriand which I thought might be nice for Christmas Eve :)
