    but could you, if you are crafty person enlarge the carlsberg logo, make a stencil of it and spray it onto the bin? Then that way you'd have an actual carlsberg craft too. lol

    and home bargains is like my new favouritist place ever


    mmmmmmmmm good idea, might get one and get my OH to do logo on it, hes a signwriter and the vinyl he uses is washable

    sarah - haven't done coffee mixes yet........OH forgot to get cinnamon -again ! I've printed out instructions though to stick on the pots -one teaspoonful and add hot water...........just need to stick them on now.
    Been busy packing for going away..........something for all seasons..(does everyone pack enough for a month?).............made up spare bed for house/catsitter,
    Mustn't forget Travelodge special offer receipts, medication, book for grandson, draft excluder I made for son in sussex (it was his nans and I recovered it -he's a sentimental sort of chap) and OH wanted 2p bits for slot machines on the pier so had to empty my jar...............lol :rotfl:
    I'll miss you all.................back next Thursday:j
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !
