    Princess woo... for the wine drinker what about the huge wine glass my friend bought me one last year and I thought it was hilarious... it came in a box and said the glass takes a bottle of wine and I can still say I only had one glass of wine!

    It's offical I'm now addicted to this thread

    My nieces have just had their ears pierced and have asked for these earrings
    http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/2123356/c_1/1|category_root|Jewellery+and+watches|14416987/c_2/2|cat_14416987|Children%27s+jewellery|14417110/c_3/3|cat_14417110|Children%27s+earrings|14417121.htm

    but as there are 2 of them (nieces) I think they're a bit expensive, as an alternative I was thinking about getting them these

    but does anyone know where I can get similar earrings for cheaper?? They must be at least 9ct gold and studs. Thanks for your help in advance

    Your all so clever with your brainy idea's mentioned above.

    The grey goose drinker is my lil bro - he's currently on his 6th tour of afganistan he's lost 5 of his friends in the last month and we are counting down the seconds till he gets back.

    I bet i will be so happy to see him that i buy him a bottle anyway - he's so brave and a true hero and totally deserves it - but it will push my budget. maybe i could ask other family members if they want to all chip in and buy one together.

    I reckon your lil bro definitely and absolutely deserves a bottle.

    If you are feeling cheeky enough, why not write a lovely letter to the Marketing Director of Grey Goose and let him know that more than anything you would really love to be able to buy a bottle for your brother when he returns from active service in Afghanistan this Christmas as it is his very favourite drink, but explain that your budget is really tight. Then ask if he could possibly be so kind, under the circumstances, to send you a money-off coupon to help you out. Tug his heart strings :)

    The Marketing Director is Sven-Olaf Hansen, and you can write to him care of Grey Goose's Marketing and PR company : Treehouse Marketing & PR, 58 Queen Anne Street, London W1G 8HW.

    Nice - My best offering was going to see where I could find it for the cheapest - but it's not easy - I got as far as £29.99 +p&p

    THANK YOU SO MUCH for that :T - you've brought a tear to my eye, must be the pregnancy hormones.

    I am off to write a nice letter now - fingers crossed.

    Just while I am on I mean to ask you all for advice, I have decided to create a reading hamper for my dad this year and apart from a selection of books I was going to add a nice bookmark, book light then I draw a blank. Can you think of anything else I could add?
