Hi all

Good luck getting those jars.

mum2one - 40 presents in the jar - all sweetie related were they?

This year I used a very different Father's Day card to usual. I could have sworn I had a suitable card but when I went to wrap his present and take it round to him yesterday discovered that I didn't. So out of my card stash I found a blank that was a posh looking black card with white butterflies on it and a bright pink envelope. Not sure what he will make of that LOL

Everywhere in wakefield, batley, heckmondwike, dewsbury its £2 for trim, £3 for men and £4 for a V cut?:T

I went to wakefield, lady used to be in indoor market, she charge £5 me and OH she on the street opposite now...but i hate having hair cut so it has to be spur of the moment;)

I`m sure you`ll enjoy the build mcjordi, i built my first about 10 years ago , i love computers, i fixed a few as well, only downside everyone thinks you expert when they find out. And you do learn alot but sometimes you cant fix computers for free because the parts are expensive. I love fixing and building though, great satisfaction.

I love the sweetie jar idea, have to do some for twins they 18 this year, mind you DS would be happy with a tray of cans, a box of crisps and a box of sweets. I remember when they were little for christmas i used to give them a shop bought lucky bag each, every year....when they were going to comprehensive, i thought they bit old....first thing on 11th christmas, they seen all the presents and asked where the lucky bag was so I`ll have to get one of those each....:rotfl::rotfl:


I tend to get carried away on ebay to elysia :T, sometimes i just have to have it, and then end up paying way over the top, I try to do BUY IT NOW if i can or place one bid and not go back until bidding finishes

Susan that's an unbelievable price for a haircut. We'll have to organise a coach party up there LOL

That's interesting about those goody bags and your children.

Ooo we drove through Dawlish last year whilst on holiday - we were staying at Finlake. However on the day we went, everything seemed to be closed. Nice area though - I love it round there, we are going back again to Finlake this October.

Hope your knee is feeling better Mum2One.

Hugs to you also Anglea - feel free to use us as a distraction any time.

hello all :j

Just got back from Bills mums 90th.............tiring journey but had a nice time.
Nipped into town and had a look round the shops while we were there..........OH treated himself to new jeans and a t-shirt, I bought a cushion (don't ask why, I just liked it...........lol) then found some bits in the charity shops. Pair of baby boots or mittens -not sure which, blue and red striped.......perfect for snowmans hats- notepad thats shaped like a dress, sort of magnet notepad and some unused smellies -all very very cheap :j

Susan -my grandchildren are 18 at christmas...........like the idea of 18 presents -not sure about sweets though.........just maybe 18 things to unwrap..............could get some big shoe boxes for them...............have to see what I've got lurking in my 'stash' pile.

There were a few sweeties in there, but as shes studying with Open Uni, did stationary items, really girlie colours, otherwise her 2 boys would borrow her pens etc and never return them...... ended up decorating the jar in tissue paper, and cut out 4 0 in constrast colour,.

Love to be there when dad opened the pink envelope!! xx
