No I really must get started. I have 7 to make this year! I really MUST tell my daughters and daughter-in-law that it's about time they made their own! LOL One for us, one for elder son & family, one for elder daughter & family, one for younger daughter's other half (only a small one for them), one for daughter's best friend,one for mother-in-law to put in her hamper and one for husband's friend Andy, who is all alone apart from his dog, and who's birthday is on Christmas Day. It's a good job younger son doesn't like fruit cakes! I also have to make husband's birthday cake for his 60th on New Years Eve and one for mother-in-law's 90th on December 12th. Off to Asda in the morning to buy some more ingredients! LOL Sue xx
