Our prayers have been answered
The best bit of the famous Colin the Caterpillar cake is now available to buy on its own.
It’s good news for the Colin the Caterpillar fans – you can now buy the iconic white chocolate face for just £1.

He added: “I’ve had a whole lot of love from my fans in lockdown and I’m so pleased that they can now enjoy Face Time with me all year round! Stay tuned for more news about me (and the Mrs!) next week!”

M&S tweeted: “STOP SCROLLING. You’ve dreamt of it, we did it. Gone are the days of fighting for Colin’s face: you can now get your very own GIANT one in store now!”
One person replied ‘dreams do come true’ while another said: “My 2 Grandsons will be so happy, we usually have to cut Colin’s face in half for them to share.”

This Manchester lad has made ‘sneaker candles’ and they look mint
I need some of these for my house
This Manchester lad has made ‘sneaker candles’ and they’re as cool as they sound.
Crep Candle is the brainchild of 22-year-old Harvey Prince, who moved home after uni with a fantastically creative wax-based idea.
Harvey came up with the homeware idea in his final year of university, where he put plenty of time into researching moulds and candles all made from a different classic trainer.
Fast forward to October 2020 and Harvey started actually making the candles, probably ruining his mam’s stove with melted wax and taking up tonnes of space.
But the hard work and clever idea paid off as Harvey sold out of his creations in just two days!
One of his latest moulds based on the legendary Nike TN shoe has created tonnes of buzz on socials, meaning his followers have been on an upward slope.
Harvey and his photographer friend @joelhirstphoto who helps out with socials have been brainstorming over Christmas to step into 2021 with their best foot forward.
There are new drops every two weeks with this month seeing one of their most requested trainers becoming a candle – the Jordan 1.

This almost impossible clear jigsaw puzzle is the perfect lockdown challenge
It’s been described as the ‘hardest puzzle ever’
Someone has created an almost impossible jigsaw puzzle and it’s perfect for lockdown!
If you’ve found yourself losing your mind in the third national lockdown because you’ve already mastered banana bread and completed all your other jigsaw puzzles, well this might just be the one for you.
Created by Etsy shop, Little Flower Pot Shop, the clear jigsaw comes in four sizes starting at an easy nine pieces going all the way up to 144 pieces.
Now a 144 piece puzzle doesn’t sound too bad, until you find out this jigsaw not only doesn’t have a picture, each individual puzzle piece is completely clear.
The clear jigsaw puzzle also has an ‘Okay’ version complete with 25 pieces, while ‘Hard’ will see you scrambling to put together 49 pieces.
Prices depend on which size you go for and think you can handle, starting at £14.65.
Alternatively, you can grab a bundle of all four sizes for £59.57, which will keep you busy enough to at least forget about Boris for a little while.
One reviewer wrote: “Hardest puzzle ever!!! Straight lines on the inside is just evil. I finished in about 8 hours. Tediously.”
And a second described the puzzle as ‘challenging but not overwhelming’, whereas a third said ‘hardest puzzle ever‘.
You can get one here.
