Hi everyone;)

Just passing through so thought I'd tell you I saw some really cute disney Pooh and Piglet silicone ice cube trays in Tesco this afternoon - reduced to 75p ea.

Have fun:j

thanks to whoever posted that Tescos are selling the heart shaped ice cube trays. I got (well OH did when he was in Tescos!) one today for £1. Next time I am in there will look for the Winnie the Pooh ones.

Dawnylou, Thankyou very much for your kind offer, it was very considerate and confirms my belief in human kindness.
I eventually got one in a Tesco Extra for 99p and some love heart cookie cutters, but before that I tried the bigger Asda and all the MSE's got their first :rolleyes: Tried Ikea Glasgow again loads of jigsaws and a couple of triangles and bottles. None in Sainsburys either, maybe the store buyers think we are unromantic in the frozen north :rotfl:.

It's quite alright

I'm glad that you got sorted anyway though!

Inspired by this thread I've just made a couple of batches of heart-shaped chocolates - they look fab! (sorry, no camera though...) I put loveheart sweets on top with little messages on and used milk and white chocolate which I swirled together in pretty patterns. I had to buy an overpriced silicone tray in Paperchase for £3 as I couldn't get to any of the shops mentioned in this thread apart from Sainsbury's, and I couldn't find any in my Sainsbury's. I'm very chuffed with how they turned out and hopefully OH will appreciate them for him birthday on Friday. Thanks for the inspiration!

Lol, sorry! I have a camera on my phone but don't want to shell out the money for a cable to upload the photos... :rolleyes: It's a pretty simple idea though; I did different patterns of milk and white for each one (layered; swirled together; mixed together; half-and-half; just white with milk grated on top...) then after they had set slightly put a loveheart on top (with an appropriate message! I avoided the ones saying 'dream girl' for my boyfriend, for example ). They popped out of the silicone very easily and look really smart hope that helps some!

I don't have a cable either, you just email from your phone to your email address. Take the piccie, save it then send a MultiMedia Message, attach piccie, and type in email addy instead of phone number, easy.

You can tell I want to see your cooking, can't you! :rotfl:

Hi all loving this thread!!
Ok question I love Chilli Chocolate (yummy) can anyone suggest a way of making it?? I was thinking crushing some chilli flakes and adding to the chocolate? Or sprinkling some chilli flakes on top of the chocolate? I have chilli oil also don't know if I should add a splash of that?? HELP!!
Thanks
Niki
