Hi guys has anyone seen those stick on earrings for little girls? I haven't seen them since I was a kid and really wanted some for DD.

I dunno about stick on earrings but Claire's used to do magnetic ones...?

I've not (yet) had an email to say my book was cancelled from Tesco - I hope it isn't, my sister really wants to read it! <Just checked my tesco account and it says cancelled - grrrr!!! Going to call them>

I've had a fab few days - soooo close to being finished! This is what I've got:

1X Next voucher for my best friends kids
1X Next bath set for my friend
1X pack of Thomas the tank mini crackers in the Works (for DS stocking)
2X rolls of gorgeous wrapping paper - M&S outlet, last years stock - reduced to £1.50 a roll
1X pack of tags
1X pack of Xmas cards (again M&S - last yrs stock)
3X nail buffers, tweasers, toe seperaters (teenage sisters' hampers)
1X pair of slippers for my Nan

I think thats it!

So close now, can't wait to get it finished!!!!! Off to have a read back through posts I've missed the past few days!

Edited to add - just been on the phone to Tesco, apparently they've had to cancel the order due to being unable to source the product from the supplier! How annoying!!

I love these lanterns

10 pack works out about £1.60 each. When I first started buying these a couple of years ago (before the gadget shops got hold of them) I was paying £30-50 for 10

Get the pack of ten and you have 10 small fun presents. The 10 pack comes in a big box with each one individually wrapped (no markings that it came from a large pack of 10) so it's easy to split it up for multiple presents

Also, cool clock for a teenager I bought one of these a couple of years ago when it was £15
