OS Christmas Support thread & timetable

I got the double pack of marzipan and ready to roll icing plus a christmas cake board from Tesco this morning. It worked out a lot cheaper to buy the double pack than separately.

Mrs money penny...would you be good enough to put the wording on the board? I'm sure others would be interested to.
I did this years ago when my children were little (they loved it) and would love to give the children I care for the same this year for christmas.

Thankyou.

ive got to nip in the attic over the weekend, ill get it out and post it on monday.
The bags she made were simple cotton ones about 3in by 5in in festive cotton print the top is just cut with zig zag scissors then a red ribbon tied round with a brown parcel tag with the wording printed on a label.
its best if you put the glitter porrige mix in a little plastic or cellophane bag inside so stop spillage.

I've written my self a note to get it out and post it up monday AM.

Went to Boots today and bought a lovely botanics scented candle for £1 in sale - will actually take it out of the cardboard botanics box and wrap the glass jar in cellophane, looks posher! I work for L'Occitane and get a monthly product allocation - this month its a warming spa wrap so that can go with the candle as part of a relaxing basket gift, for my mommy I think! Made the mistake of telling my mum that I was getting it on allocation though...
Got lots of wrapping paper in woolies for me mammy (I decorate brown paper etc for my own, haven't decided on my theme for this year yet, although the cards are going to be cream and gold...)
I feel festive!:snow_grin :xmastree: :rudolf: :santa2:

I used a length of lining paper to wrap DD's birthday presents in. My son has a special set of paints that has sponges and paints rainbow stripes. I just set him to work and it was brilliant.

Arg! I had picked out some stuff on amazon I wanted to get for people, and wouldn't you know it - just checked and the prices have all gone up! Typical! Back to the drawing board I guess...

moggins

Squishy if it was books or DVD's check out the book people and sendit.com all their prices are cheaper than Amazon at the moment anyway.

Would you believe I had forgotten about them? Thanks moggins!
