    V shaped flutes or ordinary?

    Flutes! Matalan or Asda/Tesco have some nice ones too. I'm supping my sparkling Rose from a flute now and it feels more 'special'

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
  • a fiver for a box Bookie? could you not get the brownies to knock a few up...

    I know but lovely boxes and there is a 3 for 2 offer. Someone gave me 1 last year and it is no my 'memory box'.

    Depends on the wine. Flutes for sparkling, ordinary for wine. Quidco if doing e-order remember.

    Evening everyone....

    I just love Christmas Markets or is that Meercats?
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
  • You could do your 49p personalised card to go with it all and she will feel really special.
  • They might not have them now but Matalan did have some really lovely glasses with butterflies on them, my friend got two boxes.
