Cards written and posted.

Was feeling pleased till I realised there were two people I'd forgotten. :o

All children's cards and cash sorted. :j

Keeping it very simple this time as with four of them on Christmas morning it's going to be utter bedlam with all their gifts.

I've seen how delighted they are having their own money when they go shopping, so they'll enjoy that. :D

But would this not be from the days when butter came wrapped in just grease proof paper, not paper backed in foil and plastic? (I dont know, but curious)


Phew! You wont see the posts where afew of us were actually praising you


Im not bothering this year, as away straight after new year. I have bought a lovely wreath for the door, and lending my lights to someone I know, so still will get some use out of stuff. I used to have 2 potted xmas trees either side of my door with lights on, but they have sadly passed away, so none this year. If I can buy a few potted trees after xmas, I will do.

No tree DM .....:eek:...Will take me most of the day to put up my decs....My boy(The dawg) would be so dissapointed if we didn't have decs up....:rotfl:

Zag.....is it safe to line a cake tin with foil instead of baking paper?

You don't have any metal fillings, do you!:eek:

If you grease it, it should be okay, but why not pop out to the local shop and just buy some, the cost of the ingredients in a fruit cake is not worth messing about with. (Presuming it is a late baked xmas cake.)

As DM says!:beer:

I've stopped worrying about chemicals leaching out of foil. We probably pick up more toxic metals from handling coins!

For your information:

Which Cadbury Chomp 23.5g was this?

Separately to that question, I suppose only ...723512 can properly be called a "trigger" as it's the one that is on the mbuy. What I am told is ...783929 involves paying full prices as it's not on the mbuy and therefore isn't "triggering" anything: the prices on other items (which aren't the invisible triggers) are appearing as what was actually paid, even though the "...783929" chomp is an item that also isn't appearing. However it is potentially a far better one, if your store is showing 5 for £1 mbuy across all the products you buy, as it's back to 5 for £1 via refund at CS and also, hopefully, a £2 GC.
