| | | Crackers!!!
Is it my imagination or are Christmas Crackers much stronger than the ones of my childhood? Yesterday Mr Batwing and I made several useless atempts to pull one and eventually had to stand and brace ourselves with me clinging on to the cabinet before we were successful! Maybe we're just ready for the knackers yard!  |

I agree, it is more like tug-o-war now than gentle cracker pulling. It took two of my children together to pull one with me. Last year we made our own, great cos you can put your fave goodies in it and I think they were easier to pull.
