    Melissa at least you know how to get it out ;) just use it in your bath tonight! Then you can start practising again tomorrow!

    Hmmm might have another play tomorrow - wonder if husband can be convinced to go fishing so he's out of the way? hmmmm

  • Ok, here is another thing we do every Christmas.

    I usually save all the cards we received and then next year I know who I have to write the cards to as I am a bit forgetful and not good at keeping Christmas card list.

    However, once I write the new cards (usually completed by end of November - so, at least one thing I am efficient at) I cut the Christmas pictures from the front of then previous year cards - you know, Santa's, robins, snowmen, etc.... and use the picture as a gift tag. Just punch a hole in it, write on the white back and thread a curling ribbon through. Cheap and beautiful :)

    Fab idea with the cards, I do make gift tags with them cutting them with pinking shears but never thought of using them as a reminder for cards to be sent.

    Just be chatting with my DD1 in America and as always we talked craft and christmas. She told me of the gift of Snowman Soup that she received from a friend last year.... http://jodis-thoughts.blogspot.com/2006/10/my-craft-contest-entry-snowman-soup.html how fun is that

    OK...stay with me on this OK?

    Bathbombs.......IF I could find some car/motorbike/male-type moulds, what about spritzing with after-shave or watered-down shower gel? Would that m'be work?

  • Bigmummaf - I reckon the round bath bombs are suitable for men, the website I use have a sea-shore scent, I reckon that would be suitable for men.
