Mrs BB, there is a shop near me that has Yankee tarts, samplers etc all 1/2 price. Nothing wrong with them, not 2nd's I have been buying from them for a year now, tarts are 50p.

If you want any just let me know and Ill pick them up for you

Aww, you are an :A hunni, thank you ever so much for offering but there's a tiny tiny local store I buy mine from and they have an offer on atm 5 tarts for £3.00, which is 60p a tart - a little more expensive but if you added postage an stuff, these are still cheap [/quote]

No problem

They do give you extra support and help when you are at uni or college if you are a mature student


I'll try to have a go with the new palette later

Good luck when you start!! I might just go for it, my oldest two are at High School and Im pretty sure childcare a couple of days a week wont hurt the younger ones.

I'll look out for your pics later and if I'm successful may post my own for your comments!

I am so sad that I have no smilies.

good luck to both of you re: studying:D my sister did a nursing degree in her late 30s. She is in her 40s now and a qualified midwife. She loves her job. I guess it's never too late to go back to college/uni. I'm thinking of doing a course myself and I'm in my mid 40s:eek:

oliver2008, I keep losing my smilies too one day they are there, then the next they are gone. I have them back at the moment:D

big thanks to mari500 for the No7 voucher. Off to spend it later:D

re baskets poundland does a good size one which is oval and has two little handles plus wikinsons.
i did my MIL a basket the year before last with a big bathroom teddy bear hamper full of food goods. the basket was 10 pound but was a big bathroom one so thought at least she could use it afterwoods. i then cut up a lol of tinslel so it looked like lots of sparkles all over. she was quite gobsmacked when she recieved it..she is jamaican and never normally lost for words:rotfl: :T
I am going to do boots stuff for my friends this year i think as have a lot of no7 stuff and time delay for some reason:rotfl:

I finally managed to part with my last 4 no7 vouchers, I had 2 pinkies and 2 spits. I got one R&M Foundation Brush = £1 after vouchers
and also got one R&M I pen (eyeshadow but in a pen) would post a pic from boots.com but it keeps loading me to a clarins page??? Anyways this was £1 after vouchers too and its a lovely turquoise colour similar to the no7 eyeliner that wont shift!

Passion8, since you do gift baskets how much wrap would I need for 3 medium sized baskets, would 20m be enough? I'm new to all this lol - TIA

MBB I use about 6 metres to cover a huge nappy cake so that will be more than enough.

Enough to do 3 and probably a few more

I'll pop a pic up of one where I used about 4ft IIRC (might be slightly more as there was some gathering at the top)

ETA: Can't pop a pic up - only got the unwrapped pic lol. Sorry mrsbb but as glidergirl said, that's more than enough

Morning all

cpg?

Despite what I said yesterday about not feeling bad about using the vouchers (even though another poster said the voucher is worth 20% to BCC) I couldn't do it. I had a lip gloss and blusher in the basket, which I'd had to ask them to get out of the drawer, and was looking for a third item for the 342 when it suddenly hit me how greedy it must appear, and how awful I felt. I had to hand them back, so the next time they appear, I'll pay with points.

*** I'm not certain but I think there was a poster on here who was putting the £2 off Digital Photo till split to good use. If whoever it is wants any, I've found half a dozen so can they PM if they want them pls?

Only shopped using up the No7 vouchers yesterday (thanks for the tip rubylou - I bought the nail files x 3 for £3 + 1 voucher and R&M buffers etc ) but still need to use a few up. (Think rubes and myself must be the only 2 peeps not using 2 x till splits to get the mascara and palette lol - I'm a real scaredy cat )

There was more Botanics accessories out in the larger store yesterday with 75% off, but none in the other stores I looked in. Still worth looking for the gloves at 88p etc though.

Off to catch up

:wave:Over here - me too ! (not scaredy cat, just keep getting sharp eyed SAs !:rolleyes: ).
