    Rusty - I'm sure you could cover a box and make it look lovely and get the dressing gown in. Don't go to the expense of buying another basket if you don't need to.

    Pleased you're all still about on here .............can you imagine if I was left here all on my own:confused: I'd end up replying to myself.............:rotfl:

    mary - I will still be here:rotfl:

    This one is on promo in IKEA starting 19 Jan. PM me your email address and I'll send you the email I had from IKEA a few days ago. Anything to help organise a craft room! ;)

    Rusty, think your OH should be on Krypton factor LOL, send him round here, that's the one bit I hate about hampers is the packing of. He's done that so well. It's a lovely hamper, all snuggy and cosy, I'd love one like that. I think mama mia is a fantastic film.
