    Careful what you wish for. ;) :rotfl:

    How about shampoo? As opposed to real poo, that is. :p
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Could you make a fake SAS ID card and laminate it? Put it with some boot polish for 'camouflage'.
    some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it :)

    Some fab ideas - perhaps if you can photoshop, or know someone who can, transforming her into a supermodel or someone she admires might be fun?

    Perhaps you could find a knock off handbag and put everything into that rather than a basket? Or failing that buy a nice cheap handbag, and make a tag and put it on it saying "Dolcee and Gavanna" or something?
    I love surprises!

    You can get ''fake'' scratchcards on ebay - great fun as every single card is a jackpot winner.
    You can also get fake parking tickets too - ohhhhh the fun we have had with the above 2 items.
    :TIs thankful to those who have shared their :T
    :T fortune with those less fortunate :T
    :T than themselves - you know who you are!
