I am buying up all the good quality chocolate coins I find reduced in the shops at the moment …. these bags cost me 25p each from the Co-Op and contain either 90g of white or milk chocolate …. with a best before date for the end of August 2013. I bought 8 bags for just £2 and have managed to make 37 “Start of the New Term” favours with them (sorry, you’ll have to wait ‘till next week for me to post them) … but I have a couple of other ideas up my sleeve on how to use them ….. so watch this space!

FiddleFart Top Tip Look Out For Reduced Chocolate Coins ….
I am buying up all the good quality chocolate coins I find reduced in the shops at the moment …. these bags cost me 25p each from the Co-Op and contain either 90g of white or milk chocolate …. with a best before date for the end of August 2013. I bought 8 bags for just £2 and have managed to make 37 “Start of the New Term” favours with them (sorry, you’ll have to wait ‘till next week for me to post them) … but I have a couple of other ideas up my sleeve on how to use them ….. so watch this space!
Robust Excitement ….. Experimenting With Wedding Invitations
As you know my son Tom and The Lovely Laura are getting married in the summer (2013) and as Christmas had a strange sort of feel to it this year, and, to be honest, the TV was flipping awful I decided to put some of my energies into working on a few simple ideas for wedding invitations during the quiet times, ….. nothing concrete … just something that Tom and Laura could look at and think about …….
(For obvious security reasons I have removed the date) 
I have told them that there is nothing that can’t be changed and that the colours are simply to show them what can be done …. and so can be altered to suit any colour scheme. 
I know which style I like best …. but it’ll be interesting to see which idea they will go for and how it will evolve over the coming weeks, so that it will be exactly as they want. Watch this space!!
