    rainmac - what a bargain finding a scrapbook like that -lucky you. Out TK Max...........of course........is 20 miles away along with Poundland, Wilkos and all the other shops I love...............:mad:

    Been upstairs in the spare room getting very confused.......:confused: Undid my sons box as it was the only one big enough to take all grandsons christmas eve stuff then struggled to find another one that would suit grandsons dad !
    Sort of running out of half way decent boxes of a reasonable size...........sorted out a black one for teenage grandson..........bit of silver ribbon and he'll think thats dead classy (till he sees whats inside...........lol)
    But what a struggle to get everything in !!! Then I forgot I haven't done his shoe fresheners yet :eek: Oh well...........he's got a birthday too so maybe I can spread them out somehow.

    The only sorting out I'll have to do nearer to Christmas is the stuff I've got for my two friends and exfoster girl.........oh and mustn't forget her OH.
    Oh eck............and they've got they're 1st wedding anniversary Dec.1st :eek:

    I'm creative -you can't expect me to be neat too !

    Hi All,

    I have a lovely hardworking husband who always puts the children and me first. I'm lucky I know, but that kind of person is a nightmare to buy for!! Anyway, he's always saying "i haven't got the time" whenever I suggest he does something like read one of his books!!:mad:

    I've never done a hamper before, but I thought I could do one for him and try and make it a "Time" hamper...Only problem is, I need some witty and apt ideas of what to put in it! He's not one to pamper himself either.
    Help!!:eek:

    Thanks In Advance

    I got an email for a free shower timer (or car wash wipes) here's the link (hopefully) sorry if anyone's already suggested it https://www.eswater.co.uk/requestwatersavingdevices.aspx

    You know the printable gift tags on 'organised Christmas'? Do they do something similar, but blank IYKWIM? Or can I get them from somewhere else? I'm making Christmas Biscotti and want to put them in a kilner jar and decorate with a tag with the recipe on.
