MENOPAUSE RELIEF

Pour a couple of boxes of Smarties into a glass jar. Attach a label with the following:-

To temporarily calm your craving for chocolate, eat the BROWN one.
At the first sign of hot flashes eat the RED one.
Eat the ORANGE one to minimize depression.
The GREEN one calms your frustrations, when you want to be left alone.
If you feel a headache coming on eat the YELLOW one.
The BLUE one reduces bloating.
If all symptoms occur at the same time, eat the WHOLE jar.

Just thought hysteri-cal mentioned see thro plasic baubles, couldn't you insert photos of your children in and add beads/ sequins so its like a christmas shaker bauble? This would be great for relatives who complain they don't get enough pics of them.

I was in Quality Save today and they had 'snow shakers' that you put your own photo into. When shaken they move silver glitter around in the liquid, and the photo is in a slot that runs right up the centre (as best I could tell).

Not the sort of thing my family would appreciate, so didn't check the price etc.
