Looks better than this as it has lost all the formatting, lines etc when I copied it over!

OH won this years tickets via the paper & we were allocated Friday. We had a brilliant time, as did our two little ones who were 4 & 2 at the time. But it was a long day for them & we thought my Dad could have a real treat & go with just my OH so not worrying about fitting in with their needs!

HTH!

A couple of years ago I got some boxers printed for my OH when it was our anniversary - I bought some plain cotton pairs (from H and M) and took them to a t-shirt printing place. I just wanted some text printing, so the lady printed it out, we adjusted the size, font, placement, etc., and then it was done. For two pairs I think it was about 12 euros in total, which wasn't too bad. That was two years ago and the printing is still intact, despite OH using the same wash program for absolutely everything.

If you've got a big market near you, or somewhere like Affleck's Palace in Manchester, there'll probably be a printing place in there.

Alternatively you could get the transfer printer paper stuff and do it yourself - it lasts pretty well.

Thank you sooo much for that! Can't believe I didn't think of getting some of that transfer stuff!!! (How un MSE of me not to think of doing it myself!!!) Do you know if the colours show up on darker coloured fabrics or do I need to get some light coloured pants to make it show up?

Thank you again! Genius! (If only there was a thanks x100!)
