Assuming you're rolling out clay or similar, there are rolling pins you can buy that have depth guides on the edges, so you can't roll thinner than a certain depth. Alternatively, just stick two things of the same height either side and roll between that (like if you were cutting hasselback potatoes).

Yes, it's air dry clay! I'm really pleased with how they've come out :) Reckon two wooden spoons would work or do I need something flat?

Just went to the Sainsbury’s sale, got a few little bits for the kids and my nieces and nephews, such good value for money especially if you have a little Barbie fan!

Seen a post locally that some stuff is cheaper at argos and available to collect immediately. Worth checking

I bought a pre lit white tree for our garden room. We having 2 adults 2 kids stay in there over the Xmas period. I don’t need to decorate it do I ? It’s lovely when lit and I’m thinking it’s just more work for me.

i'd say the ring guides that attach to the rolling pin would probably be easier! i think hobbycraft do a pack for £2 or so. would also suggest a plastic or metal rolling pin if you don't have one already, keeps it separate from food use but also easier to clean and use wet to stop the clay from sticking.

Thanks, I've got a little plastic rolling pin now but didn't know you could get ring guides! I'll pick some up :)

Welcome to the club! They're the best. Get ready to get those white gloves on and get fluffing 🤣

I genuinely can't wait and I've bought a microfiber cloth to clean it 🤣
I nearly thought I wasn't going to receive it. I finally received the tracking email, checked it and it had been delivered to someone I'd never heard of. I received another email, parcel force had sent out the wrong tracking numbers 🙈

We decorate on the first weekend after the 1st December. Then try and take down on New Year’s Day or the 2nd if the hangover is bad.
My little boys birthday is Boxing Day and I also have a friend whose child is also Boxing Day, she takes her decs down on Xmas day night so it’s de-Christmassed for his birthday. I cba with that and he’ll just have to accept the Christmas decorations are part of his birthday

That's bizarre to me, my birthday is just before Christmas and I love having the decorations up and often do something Christmassy or take my kids to see santa on my birthday! Why would you want to spend Christmas day taking the decorations down. I do it when the kids go back to school, I put a film on and have a nice lunch as part of it!

I’m looking for a small Pre-lit tree for my daughter’s bedroom. Does anyone have ideas for a realistic looking faux trees?

£45 isn't bad at all, the branches look like a mix of the more real looking PE ones and the usual Christmas tree branches 🎄🎄🎄


The cotswold one is nice too. https://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-cotswold-potted-pre-lit-christmas-tree-3ft/p110200091

That does look good. My adult daughter loves Christmas as much as I do. I think I’ll surprise her with one for when she comes home for Christmas.
