oh yes half my hampers are bulked out!!

I think all my hampers are bulked out I've used boxes covered in scrunched up tissue paper in the bottom of a beer bucket, scrunched cello or tissue paper covered bubble wrap in others. Also used scrunched up brown parcel paper as it's what was to hand at the time.

Awww poor you! *hugs* If it is any consolation my little madam is still poorly, she has been bad since thurs last week, had to take her to hospital sunday night and they said she has to fight it all herself, now 3 days later and she is worse than before and really suffering got appt for docs at 2:40 today as I am not convinced by what hospital said. not with her getting worse. We are already on nap number 2 today she only woke up at 8am and has spent the last hour in bed ... yesterday she had 8 naps and normally only has 1

rusty sorry to hear your little one is still not well. hope the doctor can give her something - if she is getting worse it isn't going to go away by itself.

rainmac - you must be feeling shattered by now. It is hard when they have a nap and wake up full of beans and you still have to carry on.

I am waiting for a delivery today so have to stay in all day. I am going to try and get the boys' advent basket done. Have done the snowman soup and reindeer. I will finish making everything then post pics.

With the snowman soup does the person pour the choc powder, m&m's and marshmallows all in the mug at once then add the hot water?? Sounds messy!

Thanks Bunbun ... she sounds like she is darth vader at the moment, she isn't eating or drinking etc ... I just hope my doctor helps, he is generally very good so fingers crossed. I just can't do anything with her, she wants to be cuddled all day but when you try to go near her she just kicks off and lashes out poor little thing.

Bunbun I meant to PM you about that wholesale place, it is members only and although some stuff is a lot cheaper others works out a lot more expensive. If you wanted to go at some point I can lend you my card

Have ordered the last thing for my foodie friend's Jamaican hamper. It now has the Reggae Reggae sauce cookbook, 2 types of Reggae Reggae sauce, and a bottle of spiced dark rum. It's perfect for her, as she got married in June, and I would have struggled for an idea for her present otherwise.

Jane, don't think my monumental text got through to you! Do you know when you're coming down yet? Maybe I'll have to let you get me a load of baskets in the bargain North East and leave making up my hampers til you visit!! Mmmm - that would be stress free!
