Martin B Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Mum normally just buys us some marshmallows and we don't go out it's a waste of time and a huge commercial rip off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I've not got the time to make anything, and round here, the children don't want lovely homemade gifts - they only want money. If you don't give them what they want, they empty your bins in your front garden or scratch your car I just don't answer the door. thats really bad. never encountered that here thankfully.

Martin B Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I'm going out especially to get a pumpkin for the competition. If I don't manage to get one then I will stick a big candle through the top of my decomposing one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I used a Padsaw - just the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Whats a padsaw Clare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 A saw with a really thin narrow blade, but a thick handle. Very safe and perfect for cutting corners because it is quite flexible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
