Hi Shelley, I did see your post on the other thread, I think they are lovely, although personally I don't think they are very mse lol ... I am tempted by them but still deciding ... I do tend to agree though I think my OH would be impressed by them or the price :rolleyes:

They are tempting aren't they?? I think now that perhaps my hubs would like these as they are so "different" and they are supposed to bring good luck !!
If i bought the four pack I could keep some for my Mum who is getting married next year - they would be a lovely Wedding surprise gift.
If you could give one for weddings, engagements you could justify the cost then.
Us and the kids would love them :rotfl: :rotfl:

I bought a few of these sort of bits before and they are quite good fun but they all seem to have gone up by loads I assume its becuase valentine's day is approaching!

Lovely idea Rusty hope it all works out well xxx

Thanks guys you have really cheered me up.I was going to do a 1939 inspired hamper for my gran but not sure now.

So far I have a 1939 CD, I am going to buy her some tea from teapigs as it comes it tins and I think thats how it came in her day lol. Then I am going to get her a mug with 70 on but not sure what else, (may be some cyanide) only jesting.

Just mentioned Valentines Day to OH and he laughed................:mad:
Maybe he thinks we're a bit 'over the hill' for all that........still he buys me flowers every week so I ain't complaining...............:rotfl:

savvy - I keep checking and double checking my ever growing list of 'stuff to make' ...............can't really start on anything yet as I'm trying to 'de-clutter' the post christmas chaotic mess I created..............lol

Just had my weekly Monday 8:12 phone call from my mother.

She must have liked her basket as she told me she's sending the basket (which I pinched off her in the first place) and cellophane back for a refill for next year :rotfl:. At least that will be easy to sort out.

has anyone seen any pink baskets or a similar type of box container thingy anywhere? I've got all the bits for one for my friends birthday but can't find anything pink to put it in.

Now then you have a good idea there ....... I could buy a pack and then I could put one in OH's hamper ... and save the others for the kids birthdays so they can let them go ... OH will think I have lost the plot but who cares

Thankyou they are fab ... I have added them to my basket so I can checkout at a different time when OH isn't sneaking a peek and when such an important footy match is on the TV

If you can source some ... then have a look for Ringtons tea, my next door neighbour who is probably late 70's still has her tea delivered weekly from the ringtons tea man ... this tea has been around for years and would probably be one your gran remembers If you can't source the cyanide then I am sure rat poison would be fine you could pretty up the packaging a little :rotfl:

Hadn't even thought of them - thanks for that - looked in wilkos, poundland and home bargains yesterday with no sucess - will have a look.
