Have lost the certificate Dogs Trust sent me that was from buying dogs treats - it was for a friend. Have called them and they've said they will email it to me but I haven't received it yet. I KNOW it's in the house somewhere - unless it's been recycled!0

Tescos have reduced lots of the kiddie Xmas craft kits. I got some foam penguin kits for 70p each and a make a sleigh for £2. Loads of other bits and bobs including pompoms and pipecleaners. Also a really cute scrapbook (I reckon sort of 8x8 size) reduced from £10 to £5.
HTH someone :wave: If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain :wave:0
