    I have eaten way too much choc and I am in panic mode that am putting weight on. I have lost 1 and a half stone since being ill and I really do not want to put the weight back on. But my eating has been scatty, and I have eaten quite a lot of high fat food, I had gall stones and was not allowed fat.

    Hi there!

    Me again!lol

    Hopefully some of you miracle makers can give me some idea...I have 2 30th birthdays in March..my cousin (female) and my brother in law.

    Whats the deal with making a male basket, without making it too girly?

    ps I have a stash and I mean a big stash of pamper things, lotion potions, face masks, candles, etc.... so maybe something along those lines for the female one??? Is that ok for a 30th? Maybe with a bottle of wine???

    The male one has me stumped!

    thanks for any help!!

    Not sure if it can help anyone or not but nettos has the champagne marmite in at the moment and it is only £1.99, I was desperately looking for some of this for OH's marmite hamper I did him for christmas however the only place I could find it was ebay ... this is for the bigger tube aswell ... I just grabbed some for OH's valentine hamper ;) (has a slight bit of red on the label)

    Its all wicker wear at moment, my dad works for the company so can find out about certain things.

    Also the Faux Leather is reduce and there is a lot of clearence lines in the actual shops. They should be labeld with a huge sign above them apparently but I would look as certain store have slack workers.

    Looks like I may have to take a detour into work on Friday morning.

    Would rather buy baskets than be early at work and end up making everyone tea/coffee :rotfl:.

    I really need some decent ones for the spare room the plastic ones I got from the pound shop don't stack properly :o
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p
