Great way to get what you want for Christmas

Useless Tip For This Week:


Fed up of getting socks for Christmas or bubble bath, rubbish books or CD's you've never wanted to listen to? (my teenage nephew asked his Nan for a CD of M & M and she got him the M People!!!)
Put all the items you want from Santa in a glass display cabinet in a very visible place with a sign saying 'What I want for Christmas' and then people will get the hint!!
(But you won't need them than anyway as you've just bought it all and put it in merchandising cabinet??!! whoops...)

Left your fancy dress to the last minute because you think you're clever? Now it's 20 minutes to go and all the shops are shut... never fear... Grab a couple of wooden spoons and put a bowl on your head. Easy - Mr Spoon from Button Moon. (probably looks a lot better after some drinks!! ;) )

Run Out of Butter

Useless tip for this week:


OK so you have your muffin trays ready for the school xmas fayre bake off. Only the cat just ate the last of the butter when you were phoning your mum. And now you don't have enough time to run to the shop and you promised to send Jacinta with 48 fairy buns for the fund raiser tomorrow. Don't worry use a substitute - LARD! Yeah it may taste a bit weird but look at the positive - you probably won't be asked to cook anything for anyone again!
