I've just finished icing a Christmas cake (kept lovely and moist with brandy) which will do nicely Grin

We made peppermint creams this morning (and I feel rather sick from eating too many already!)

There is also M&S mulled wine in the cupboard!

I'm starting to think I'm on the naughty list. You might not want me at your party anymore Xmas Sad

KatyMac · 14/12/2010 20:59

can I sit in the corner & cry

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/12/2010 21:05

gawd knows star but again your cm must love you, you make using vouchers so simple

if only nanny employers did the same ......

nbee84 · 14/12/2010 21:09

Anyone want to join me with a Crazy Vimto or wo Grin

nbee84 · 14/12/2010 21:09

two and I haven't even had one yet Blush Grin

StarExpat · 14/12/2010 21:24

aww KatyMac :(

Blondes. I think voucher companies shouldn't allow parents to use vouchers until they have saved up one month's worth. Then there will always be a month's worth in their voucher account. Computershare has the direct transfer on a certain date every month to Carer's bank account (carer just needs to go online and fill in their details). Then you don't even have to look at it except for hte confirmation email both carer and parent get on the day the voucher is transferred. And this way, it can't be late, because the funds are always there. It is simple, really!

It really makes me Angry that people are fussed about with vouchers because although it's salary sacrifice, I do end up saving £70 per month using them, so they are well worth it and it's a shame that they can be so inconvenient for carers. People just need to do it properly!

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/12/2010 23:04

well said star :)

and would love a pimms please

StarExpat · 15/12/2010 12:48

I just thought I'd test it as it seems as I thought......it's not YOU, it's the CONFUSED emoticon and the way it's coming across with the hat LOL. Not sure why but I think that's your answer :)

Mums creeps in......

Hello all, I am bringing red wine and lots of chocloate to the party

lollipopmother · 17/12/2010 20:37

Crap, I'm late, it's taken me 3 days to get all the glitter off of my party trousers after this past week of Xmas craft activities!

I have a large sack of boozy mince pies!

KatyMac - sorry to see your holiday woes, how disappointing Sad, I would still go though, you work hard and you've had a very hard year, go on holiday and put your feet up, you'll still be able to recharge your batteries.

HSMM · 17/12/2010 21:52

You're not too late lollipop, the party is still going on Grin
