    Hi all was in Morrisons today and found wee plastic snack bowels 8 for 89p! the flannel muffin sits in them perfectly. they are clear so you could put a few beads in the bottom to make it look like some of the 'topping' has come off! Hope this helps somebody xx

    I went into town to day and bought
    this sweet little basket for 49p.
    Saw the lady just putting them out
    at lunch time and placing one in
    the window.
    Thought I would go back later save
    carrying it round allafternoon.
    Went back a little later,thought
    oh get it now while you remember,
    good job I did they only had the
    one in the window one left.
    you dont imagine this type of
    stuff selling out so quickly
