I went to the Church craft fayre this morning and came away with a carrier bag full of small sealed packets of lego - there were 29 in total and he wanted 20p each but let me have the lot for £5.00.

The plan was to use them for party bags after using some for my sons stocking from Father Christmas. I have a dilemma though now - I've since discovered they are the ones that were given away with the Daily Mirror and I think they could be collectable so son may now get the duplicates and a complete set gets put away for that rainy day when I start to list stuff on ebay :rotfl:.

If you've got a garden why not attach a basket to the front and plant it out like a hanging basket?

NYC - that Chanel belt is amazing. I cannot believe the things people give away! Are you planning to keep it or sell it on for a very tidy profit?!

Gaz70 - you could offer it to your local playgroup if you have one.

Where I am they average at around £20 per 1 hour lesson, but if you shop around you can find some good deals. I have found a local driving school who'll do my first 5 hours for £55!

Tesco clubcard deals do a 4hr BSM package for new learners only for £56 of clubcard vouchers.
