Hi Littlelibrarylass, I was wondering the same thing so went a googling & found this. Sounds like we can just grab some soap & get a grating Will come in handy for all those last little bits of soap.

sarah - did you see the Dr Who Voice Changer masks on play.com earlier this week? The Dalek one was 7.99 or 8.99 and I was going to buy it cause my kids were eyeing it up last year but it was £30 I went on this morning to buy it cause its the last weekend of the sale and there are still some Dr Who Bargains but the Voice Changer mask is only available for £12.99 on playtrade.

I did but mine have got them all, I tend to wait til mr t's or asda drop the price not paid over £8 for any of them, thanks for that though. It's mainly the smaller figures they want now so if you see any of them on offer please let me know

I'm not sure either will have to have a try, never thought of grating soap, I've got loads stashed in the cupboard will have a go with the kids while they are off school and see how it works out

sarah -thanks for the link. Could do with one of those for every week not just christmas............lol

I've been googling for felt alphabet -want to do Christmas alpabet book for baby grandson. Had a go at cutting some out myself and made right mess of it.
I found some self adhesive ones on various web sites but they seemed a bit on the expensive side I thought. Anyone have any ideas of a good site I might get these from ?

Hi Mary, I know what you mean about needing one for everyweek. Have you tried baker ross I know they do letter things not sure if they have felt ones though or what price they are... I'm sure someone on here will point you in the right direction though. I tend not to buy too much craft stuff online (I just pinch my mums stash lol )
