Last night I put the fruit for my Christmas cake in to soak in 4 capfulls of Brandy (from Aldi) - I'm not planning on making the cake until Sunday so I'm hoping anyone who has a slice of cake won't be sitting too near the candles on the dining table :rotfl:

:eek: Flambe Guest! :rotfl:

Racking my brains to think of somewhere I could get pretty boxes to put pendants or earrings in?

Still at least I have made a start.

There MUST be somewhere suitable in York. Maybe one of the little shops on the Shambles?

:j I found some in the market and Paperchase has a dozen small gold or silver boxes for about £6.

It's really simple to make little gift boxes by recycling christmas cards. You cut down the crease to give you two bit of card, the bit with the writing on is the box and the picture makes the lid. Measure a ruler width in all round and fold up the sides, staple or glue into place. The lid will fit very snugly on top and you can make them to match your cards. You can also jazz them up with a bit of glitter etc.

Hiya all,

I have been looking for a letter from santa that i can get my little lad. I was reccomened a site but they cost about £6 and as far as i can see its just a standard letter! think im going to have to go to ebay if i cant find one...

Or as an alternative, can anyone reccomend a site to d/l a template that i can write my own letter on then get someone to post for me??


Apologies if this is in the wrong place, i wasnt sure which board to put it on.
Many thanks

Can you type one yourself and post it to your son?

If you're not sure how to do it I'm sure that we could come up with a suitable template on here if we put our heads together. What does everyone think?

Rovaniemi is in Finland, on the Arctic Circle, and it's where there's a special Santa village.

This site does ones at 6.95 Euros including p&p. So probably works out at about £5

hi simba

i did them for my niece and nephew last year
i used 'word'
used pictures/graphics i found on the internet ( just copied and pasted mostly )
used a 'handwriting' type font

and that was it

very simple

i even put my other halfs mobile number in there, they then text(ed) him and he sent a text right back tellingthemthat he had received their xmas lists and would try and get some of the things they wanted made by the elves and delivered if rudolph was in a good mood - but only if they behaved.

they loved it and thanks to that still belive again this year!
