    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
    Barmen

    Love the Poem, hope you don't mind if I use it too!!

    Love the poem..........have copied that out (hope you don't mind) - going to try and do a pint of something for ex foster girls OH...........I said 'try' so no guarantees............lol

    Chris25 - don't worry about your 'chocolate'...........cappacinos have a frothy top on and chocolate - been some places where they pop a flake in as well so I'd leave it.

    Hi can anybody confirm if you can get all bits you need for reindeer (apart from flannel and soap) from hobbycraft ? Otherwise I will order from ebay.
    Thanks. Mariae.

    Last Christmas my son wanted to make
    a Buster dog christmas decoration as it
    was shown on TV (paul O Grady site)
    I remember we could not get black
    pom poms we ened up in Hobbycraft
    where they sell packs of pom poms
    in different colours seperatly.
    I worked out nearly £3 to get the
    right sizes and I only needed 3.
    I noticed looking round the £ shops etc
    they sell packs/tubs of multi coloured ones
    they all seemed to have a lot of red ones
    in the packs/tubs would it be cheaper to buy
    the pom poms in the £ shops and just fish out
    the red ones,also there are packets of pipe
    cleaners in the £ shops multi colours I noticed
    that these have brown and black ones in the packet
    It may work out a cheaper alternative.

    Hobbycraft is great for choice but can be a bit expensive
    sometimes,let us know how you get on because I was
    toying with the idea of going there myself but was wondering
    if it may be cheaper looking at alternatives

    Lots of nice colours in Primark in these
    socks also sets of two pairs of woollen
    gloves for £1 that could also be folded
    into these cases as well but as usual I
    get the if you want a lift home you need
    to be organised straight away call.

    Thanks we were thinking of making 25 for pta xmas fair. Not sure if they would sell? I think they are great. We are going to do some flannel cakes too. A trip to Hobbycraft is tempting but I know I'd probably be out of control!!:rotfl: Will let you know the outcome.:D

    Rose Kitten Those stripey ones look lovely. I have now got the pink muffin cases but think they are a bit smaller than those brown ones you have used going by other posts. I ordered some brown ones too but they are even smaller and not very good quality. I had to throw about 6 away as they were crushed to bits. I have managed to fit a cheap flannel in them for flannel muffins but wouldnt even get one sock in.
    Will have another look for pink socks but think only the small slipper socks will fit into the pink cases. Was wondering whether some nice knickers might work otherwise as they are for teenagers.

    Hi Mariae, I have just received my order from Hobbycraft (2 packs bells, 2 packs pipe cleaners, 2 packs eyes), was quite impressed with their postage costs, only £3.13 and that was for delivery to Spain !!!
    Unfortunately, they only had mixed bags of bells (pretty sure some of them are 'cow' bells .... lol, about an inch in diameter. Seems to be 4 different sizes, still plenty of small bells though, in a bag of 43.
    F.Y.I. prices were .....
    Pipe cleaners (304mm x 9mm) 25 pack ...... £1.49
    Bells 43 pack ...... £2.79
    Eyes (10mm) 55 pack ..... 1.99
    Was just gutted that they didn't have any red pom poms, so still got to try and track them down.
    A creative mess is better than tidy idleness :D
