Mau my hibiscus roses arrived today :) and Lakeland added a christmas present a 4 meter roll of tin foil - LOL what an apt idea for the season :)

You're welcome. I found jars beside chocs and cakes dept.

Im awful on Champagne - I tend to go hyper then want to go to sleep and have one hell of a hangover the next day so try to avoid it.

But we are having a party on New Years and I think these will look so pretty!!! I am kicking myself as I was in Lakelands about two weeks ago and never noticed them.

Ill just have the one glass at midnight though then stick to my wine - but am sure everyone else will them pretty too.

Thanks again for sharing your idea.

Glad you managed to buy one Maddie, looking forward to seeing the 'effect' and taste of course.

A friend has tried it and she went back to delli. and bought another so,must be okay! :O)

Mac - What year are you drinking with your Chateau-Neuf du Pape???

Its our Fav for special occasions and prices vary wildely. I use a wine Merchant rather than an offy and can negotiate the price on mine depending on what year and how much im ordering - I never pay more than £30.00 a bottle and as little as £13.00 depending on the year - as I said below - Asda have a 2006 for £9.00 at the moment on offer. I have bought one to taste - it may be worth buying now and laying down for a year or two at that price.

My Mission is complete - thanks Mau - what a fab Idea.

Yes I do like a splash of lime too,you make it like I do Errol (can't be doing with sugar frosted edge,now that is err sweet )....ooh I could fancy a snowball right now!! :O)

Mix Advocat and lemonade, add a VERY small splash of lime and pour over ice - add a slice or twist of lemon and serve chilled

No that's how I like it Errol,it is nice with lemonade as well, but then I like lemons in it so...cheers me dear!

yuck Mau! That sounds ridiculously sweet! Shouldn't it be made with lemonade?

I've bought a bottle of Advocat and Ice Cream soda,it's years since I drank a lovely snowball.

Woo Maddie go gettum! :O)

Oooh Lakelands have them online £6.99 a jar back later im off shopping.

Any Australian red wine.................except the dry ones.

Just shot off to ebay for Flowers in Syrup but there is only one and its in Oz so I dont think I'll chance it for the new year:(

Bet you've a lovely shiny nose in the morning though Mac! lol ;O)

Maddie I agree - 'tis the juice of Be'elzebub lol

Yes that's what I thought. I bought one at a local delli.( they'd sold out of them) and other at Lakeland/Newcastle ( I always spend far too much in there,but it's a great store)
