    right girlies - I need gold wrapping paper - cheap as possible but I want to buy it now (best if it is plain too).
    Went to home bargains yesterday as they have cheap rolls but they were a funny grainy quality I didn't like.
    So as anyone seen any anywhere ??? - may try b and m too...
    Got to get it all ready for christmas now
    Have loads of gold luxury ribbon for ladies presents and going to make tags with names on cut out on my cricut( have to dig out gold paper and card) Going to start making tags and want them all done by the end of this month. For the men - any other colour I think (would like black or silver which I have seen cheap somewhere) with some kind of manly tag on - but no ribbon on theres.

    hiya dont know if you have got your gold wrapping paper yet but poundstretchers have the foil type dunno if this is any good to you

    gold and silver foil wrap 3m x 70cm £1 roll

    hope this helps

    :xmastree:Super Dooper Super mini Challenge

    This is for all of us with chocolate fairies, spending elves or gremlins, Children or chocolate loving OHs.

    When you buy your chocolate bar for Mum2ones' challenge. Pop it into the freezer ;) I will remind you to take it out in the morning..
    Or even hide it at the back of the fridge. Hidden behind veg works in our house :rotfl:

    A heartbreaking message from my banana.

    Mum2one had a great idea
    To make Christmas fun this coming year
    So there’s an exciting challenge afoot
    I’ve been placed in this bowl and told to stay put
    I’ve not been eaten like all my kin,
    I noticed this morning brown marks on my skin
    Now choccy says I have to be frozen
    Don’t know why it was me chosen
    Could somebody tell her it’s dark and cold
    "Stay in the freezer" is what I’ve been told.
    I just can’t wait for this challenge to start
    Oh! come on ladies have a heart
    I’m so upset I’ve started squeeling
    I’m in this place it’s not appeeling
