  • Hello everyone, I have been missing you all as not been around much this week. It's been an odd one. Have I missed much?

    No wins here, so still in losers corner, although Lord Voldemort arrived from my M&S Harry Potter win last month. He is one ugly !!!!!!! LOL. Would be great as a halloween ornament if he wasn't such an expensive collectable, so not sure what we will do with him other that let him reside in the attic for a while as we think about it. I always used to think as a kid that toys came alive at night, and this one gives me such a creepy feeling I feel very nervous about it :eek: :rotfl: :eek: :rotfl:

    I hope to comp tonight while OH at squash, so if you see me in here send me away as once I come in I get too involved and will never leave losers corner.

    No comping for me tomorrow as I had agreed to hold a family gathering cos my sister is in Devon for a few days, BUT, just found out we can see LO for a few hours tomorrow, about an hours drive away, so will be running about like a headless chicken as will move the get together to later in the day. Not seen her in five weeks - so excited and scared. Cathy, you know I will take the angel :A . Thanks x.

  • KTF, if he is into superheroes I think the egg shape would lend itself to a Spiderman face? Not very Eastery though, I know :)

    Could you make some rabbit ears out of paper or felt and then draw the rabbits face on for an easter bunny?

    Will give that a try, thank you. I am soo not crafty !!!!
    Have got a wee basket I could put it in with mini eggs round the easter bunny:confused:
    Liam wants a yoda (starwars) egg but I really have no clue how to do that although I suppose it is better than the bald head master !!!!!!!!!

    Think I might pursuade him a bunny is a good idea if I bribe him with mini eggs:rotfl:

    I think was them :D but I'm not really going to stalk the poor lad I'm old enough to be his Mum :rotfl::rotfl:
    That ain't working! That's the way to do it, money for nothing and TV's for free ;)

    I don't know if this is a silly idea or a good plan for someone to try who's still not won with the coffee thing. Somewhere on mse there's a board of people who make up hampers and craft type gifts, the hampers from this would do them a treat as they could seperate them out and do stuff with them...................couldn't they?
    Just become FTBs & Aiming to be mortgage free by 2034 :wink:

    Thank you to all who post on the comps/freebies forums
