        Had a person tell me that she had forgotten to mail her cards and they were all ready and stamped. Read: Excuse #20 of why I should keep them on my list.

        So I said, "so next year you only have to mail them, you're ahead of the game!". Nope, no card came.. :roflol:

        Obviously I don't really care about the lack of reciprocation but I do make note of the white lie. Why lie about something like that :noidea:

        Just remembered the title of this thread.... time to start my Christmas cake :)

                      I knew they had the same spicy buns ,as my Dad likes them, just didn't realise that they had the 'cross' on them all year round. A bit of a shame really as it makes them less special at Easter.

                        I've only had success making those buns maybe three times. The store ones seem so much lighter than the ones I usually achieve.

                        I've been stocking up on flour and other pantry items for Christmas baking. I can already feel my pants getting tighter :biggrin:

                              An area of my workplace is shut off due to a Christmas refit, it’s September!
                              It does, however, take a long time to create magic ( still no Christmas smilies) :santa clap::frown:
