did you know...

[Helen GV]

that the paper butter comes wrapped in actually contains foil and therefore should NOT be put in the microwave??

(as it will catch on fire, and the butter will still not be melted!)

[Pickle]

:)) Ha ha, top tip there Helen!

Ha - I've done this too! Particularly galling as I was giving a smug 'tip' to hubbie about how you don't need to take the butter out of the fridge hours before to get it to room temperature, you can just pop it in the microwave for 10 sec... Oh. Cue lots of running around squealing with damp teatowels, with husband laughing at me.

Ah well. And while we're on Christmas preparations, anyone else REALLY BORED of wrapping up Father Christmas presents? Where are the elves when you need them?

[Helen GV]

I would be grateful for housework elves, present and food buying elves, baby entertaining elves... cooking elves....

and elves to wait in for the courier delivering a screen that should have been here Tuesday and without which there will be no rockband at Christmas (tragedy)!

[sillywoman]

Now I need decoration taking down and house cleaning elves, where are they when you really need them?
