    There's a brown one too :D, and pink is lush on blondes!

    But being that much shorter than you I feel someone might come along and start putting the tent pegs in if I stand still for too long :rotfl::o I think it might be a little too long otherwise would take it off your hands.

    Very commendable Becky! Nice to know someone else will get some good wear out of your coats!

    I really don't understand anyone who throws clothes away - I was staggered when I heard how much is taken to landfill - have they not heard of charity shops or clothing banks?!

    I know charity shops don't want any old tut, but they can still sell unwearable clothes as cushion fillings, so I just bag them separately, mark the bag as such and still hand it over, I'm sure it all helps!

    No problembo - the brown might be a touch big for her but will send both - wont be till next week though as I have to wait til weds to order my new one :D:D
  • Kayleigh, what about this for both, just use different email address' ;) I have done one for Mum for her last pressie but I am tempted to order another one for my lil bro with Dolby on it :think: Can I afford it though :rolleyes:

    Brilliant! Thanks for that, that's perfect. :T Not sure it's completely James' thing so I'll give him the chocs as well. I did a pic from my prom for the one for James (my FB profile pic) and a pic from Weybiza for my grandad (with the malibu and pineapple cropped out! :rotfl: ). Totally forgot about Quidco for the first one (doh!) but remembered for the second one. Let's just hope it comes through.
