Thanks LG. One of the South East Today weather girls is coming to open the Fayre - that should bring out some extra Dads! ;D

That looks beautiful Tig.
The Fayre was sooo busy - just got home and had a cup of tea and a mince pie. The helpers on the stalls didn't get offered one cup of tea and some folk were there for 6 hours.

thats bad Jas.......did you buy anything? I thought it was a bit bad - the least you could do if you're organising something is offer the helpers a drink. Anyway, it's done now! I bought a few books - we made about £300 on books, dvds and cds! |

Your cake looks great Tig, well done. With the sants around the sides as well, everyone should get some. I bought one in M&S today for my neighbour as a pressie, they had some for everyone to taste and it was yummy. Jasmine, that's really poor of them not to offer a hot drink at the very least. Well done with the selling 'tho that's a good amount of money. Hope you can relax and watch Strictly with your feet up later.  |

;D I don't think that'll happen to mine Jilly, I used fondant icing and then stuck the snowmen and santas on with some ordinary icing. I thought it'd be fair LG, everyone gets a 'head' and it'll stop Mr Tig cutting extraordinarily large slices - they never get left in this house, OH is a proper fruitcake nut  That's a long time to help out without a drink Jas, but at least folk didn't have to desert their stalls going off to the loo  x Tig |

Jilly, it sounds like there's a right good story there. You've got to be fair Tig have'nt you.  |

That's a point I suppose Tig! Keep your helpers at their stalls! I'm very late getting up this morning but after my shower I am going to put some carols on and finish my cards. |

I got one on Friday from a cousin to tell me they had moved house and giving me the new address, why wait 'till I had sent my cards off, a new one is waiting to be posted tomorrow.  |

That's typical Jilly!
...and that's not very helpful Barbara!
I'm done on the posting ones now unless someone does what's happened to Jilly! ;D

Good idea Jasmine. I think a lot of folk are doing their Christmas shopping this weekend. The shops were very busy indeed this afternoon.  |

I'm not one for crowds either, but it started tippling down this aft so I ventured forth, and it had put a few folk off. I managed to get another pair of the £5 boots for my daughter and also a pair for my DiL - some stocking fillers for the Grandkids and some groceries from Sainsburys. I needn't go out again until Friday, and then next Sunday I've promised my Grand-daughter a birthday shopping outing I need a cuppa and some cake, I'm boiling now I've come indoors! x Tig |

I'm only a 10 minutes drive from town and parking is free on a Sunday, and even at this time of year there are plenty of spaces. Saturday is a no-no these days, everywhere heaves with people and the queues at the tills are ridiculous!

I wrapped the last of the pressies that I had today..still have more to buy though and have been on-line ordering DVD's for my son.
I got a card yesterday from an old school friend saying that she had moved..luckily enough she is having her post forwarded so I dont have to send another card.
