    Rusty you'll keep us posted I'm sure. Praying all goes well Monday.
    Sorry you're not well, sure that must be taking it's toll too.

    Hope all of you ladies who are poorly feel better tomorrow. If not 'nurse' soblivion recommends a lovely Christmassy film a hot chocolate and a long soak in the bath tomorrow night. My orders, no arguments;)

    Thanks hun :)

    Oooh don't think I have any christmassy films ...and OH is home tomorrow night from working away so I will be having an early night and he can sleep on the settee :rotfl:I have had a nice cup of warm milk and honey, I have had a nice hot bath and didn't do the film, I shall be heading to bed shortly, well once my littleist one goes back to sleep :(

    hope everyone who is ill feels better soon x


    this is it its like a lords prayer not sure if its any good:confused:

    Our lager
    Which art in barrels
    Hallowed be thy drink
    Thy will be drunk
    (I will be drunk)
    At home as in the tavern
    Give us this day our foamy head
    And forgive us our spillages
    And forgive those who spill against us
    And lead us not to incarceration
    But deliver us from hangovers
    For thine is the beer
    The bitter and the lager
    For ever and ever

    Looks great Rusty - I did one yesterday (although mine was larger as I had a beige flannel!) looks ok, the hardest bit was getting the main bit to sit in the glass properly without looking all crinkled.
    I rolled the 'head' ;-) like a cupcake which worked fine.
    Need some cheap beer glasses now.


    I made a 'hot chocolate' in a glass mug with a brown flannel and an off white bath scrunchie ( I even put a chocolate flake in it).

    Was quite pleased with it until I realised that the words around the glass said 'cappucino', 'latte' & 'coffee' in different scripts :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Will have to swap for a beige flannel now :D

    You need 2 pipecleaners (mine were just standard size) approx 10 cm I would guess you bend it in half and tuck through the elastic band. You cut the second pipecleaner in half and then form prongs half way down each middle spiked antler... Hope that helps

    noticed in Morrisons cafe the sandwiches
    come on a really cute little polystyrene
    gingham tray that to me looks like it
    would hold three muffins or a couple
    of muffins and a bottle of bubble bath.

    Loved the pint of Guiness really effective looking

    Thought this might be useful for anyone
    looking for organic chocolate this morning I
    went into Somerfield they are selling the
    100g bars of Green & Blacks for a £1 each

    Hi there

    I am trying to get some of the £1 slipper socks from Primark in pink but they havent got them in my local one, only blue. I have ordered my pretty pink muffin cases which should come this week but cant find anything to fill them with. I went in my local Peacocks yesterday but they have only got grey and they are £2 a pair anyway. I have 3 Sock Muffins to do for my nieces. Does anyone have a Primark near them selling the pink ones please?
