craftyhunnypie Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 Any orders anyone??? Going tomorrow again with my mum! The Markets are still there in St. Anns square & St. Alberts square. Got to go over the unit & do all my work tonight - but if it means a day out drinking Gluhwein & eating sugared almonds, etc - then I don't mind! Anyone want anything?

Egluntyne Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 And for me! Will you buy another of those little blue jugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 Oh yes! Hubby has already put in his order for a little blue jug!!!! Mum wants one too. We're going mainly for my mums sake, as she wants some German foodie bits & some last minute bits for me & my sisters Santa sacks. I have had some Christmas money off my friend & my Father in law - so will buy something nice with it. I'd like a jumper & some nice trousers or a skirt from Per Una - love their stuff! I will of course have another choccy fruit kebab too! If my sister was with us, we'd be going on that ice skating rink too! he he Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 because I'd have ended up with a wet patch on my trousers from falling over!!!! Used to go ice skating with the children when I was a nanny in Austria, but I used to hold on tightly to their hands and we sort of went round the rink in a sort of mexican wave fashion! Would have been worth a laugh tho ! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen & co. Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Gosh you have been busy Because I missed the Manchester one I was thinking of taking the children (and OH) to the one in Birmingham this weekend, as it doesn't finish until Sunday I hope it's as good. karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet81 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Wow ! Sounds like a great day. All those bargains too. I do wish we could buy really good "street food" all the year round in this country. I remember the cheese dish from last year. Wonderful on a cold day. No one must mention this, as Martin may look at the thread but I have to admit to sneaking back on Monday morning to buy him a cockrel mug to go with my chicken mug. How Howard and Hilda is that What a shame about the mugs. I think it just means that we need to meet up again next year to do a repeat run. Happy Christmas all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet81 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 PS Did you come up with any inspired ideas for the snow? I think I will just have to create a snowstorm in the lounge on Christmas Eve and scatter it everywhere. I will then moan for days when I have to clear it up Pam x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 I thought about putting some in a vase & sticking a few twigs of twisted willow in the vase with some mini baubles on. Or putting a bit of the snow around my pot plants - god knows what else. Jst throw it around like you I think! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
