@LadyNina00 I made some hot chocolate bombs yesterday after not wanting to spend £5 a go. I melted some chocolate and put it into some empty petit filou pots then put in a cake pop stick (as I had some in the cupboard) which handily doubled as a straw. Put mini marshmallows around the stick to hold it up and put them in the fridge. My DDs were delighted with them and loved stirring into warm milk and watching them melt plus the marshmallows starting to float in the hot choc. They were slightly too strong/rich for my girls’ to finish (they are 3 & 6) so I would use milk choc next time instead of dark choc but I was pretty pleased for a first attempt thrown together out of the larder!

Congrats bikini!

Checking in. Would love to get pregnant again by Christmas. Maybe it can be a post- new year gift from DH? Blush

Been in Aldi today. They have love tissue wrapping paper packs for 99p and include 20 sheets of paper and stickers. Might be a bit better for recycling.

Got a tub of quality street for my media studies class, as an old advertising campaign for them is a set text.

LadyNina00 · 11/11/2019 16:46

Thanks to whomever posted about the Mario kart monopoly. Picked up two from Amazon (5p cheaper and no delivery charge as no Wilko round here) - one for DH and me and one for our nephew.
