If you're heating up and melting wax crayons in the oven, for goodness' sake watch them like a hawk!! If they get super-hot, they could burst into flames.

Hello all

Does anyone know where i can get cheap army or camoflarge type things. Anything! I want to make a hamper up in this style so any idea would be gratefully received as needing some serious inspiration :eek:

Its for My 6yr old daughter (she loves all boys things and army things are her fave at the mo. Give her some thing pink and girly and she will never use it :rolleyes:)

Someone on the sock monkey thread made a camouflage monkey with some socks maybe you could put one of them in the hamper.

Just a quickie - its free listing day today (sunday) on ebay.

I always think of ebay free days as a double sided coin,

Postive - lots of items being listed, more choice for the buyer

Negative - how many people save their items for these ocassions, eg say normal day - 10 people listing Jimmy Choo Shoes (I wish)-seller stronger position
Bargain day - 100 people listing Jimmy Choo Shoes -buyer stronger position, so much choice, get to be more pickyx

Time for bed xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Heres a few sites

http://www.kidsarmyshop.co.uk/?gclid=COXPm4H87ZwCFYYU4wodIBm9jg

http://www.youcheap.co.uk/cg/result.jsp?q=camouflage

http://www.the-outdoor.co.uk/

Some bits for kids and bits you could put in a hamper, A bit more expensive but the MOD have bought out a range of toys

http://www.hmarmedforces.com/

But if she really loves them maybe she would like a few. Sometimes you can find bits in the £1shop, and Primark do have Camo Trousers and shorts in the boys section too.

lol, my OH keeps complaining that my recent flurry of "nesting" style attacks on the house mean he can't find anything any more! Prob is I let the house get in such a state during my first trimester cos I was so sick and tired so it really needs a good sort out.
Mainly I'm waiting until Tuesday when we find out the sex *(have 2 boys already) so that I can deal with the many bags of baby clothes that have taken over the garage, loft and our bedroom. Hoping I can chuck them all and buy pretty pink things lol!

there's a camo duvet set (comes with 3 pillowcases too!) for just 4quid, i ordered one myself actually, it's a nice blue camo and striped on the reverse

edited to add: silly me! i read the description wrong and thought it came with a single pillowcase and 2 double pillowcases (which i admit seemed odd) however i'd not noticed that they were also selling double duvet sets too! anyway i received my duvet set and the single comes with just ONE single pillow sized case but it's still a good deal!
