Mary Did you use the link Sarah posted? I must admit I did dearch for more stig things but the soap on a rope didn't pop up - so maybe they've all sold now.

Keep checking though Mary - Play are very good at re-stocking quickly.




Edited to add: Here it is again Mary to save you looking and they are still in stock http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/11865158/Top-Gear-Stig-Soap-On-A-Rope/Product.html

Yes Sarah, I have been thinking what else I could use them for too. I'll finish these off and do my last gold one then have a good think. Have got the zip in the first but the batteries have died in the camera so will post a photo tomorrow now xx

Sarah - you did do well. I'll have to go to home bargains tomorrow. The nearest clintons is in Birmingham City Centre - don't fancy that this week. I wonder if they sell online. I'm off for a look in a minute!!

If anyone wants to go the live evictions on BB you can apply at Applause store - they have spare tickets going and it's free. We're going to Britains Got Talent live auditions next month. I can't wait. LOL

Rufus - those bags are fantastic. You'll have people placing orders!!!

Hello all :j
At last - MIL's card box is all done...........full up !:T
Not sure what to start on next.
Next birthday is foster daughters and I'm doing a gardening hamper for her..............got most of the stuff - gardening apron I've never worn, little set of garden tools, gloves, =she had a gardening journal for christmas -I know she was thinking of growing her own veg this year but not sure if she's still going that route -have to check that out.
Her husbands birthday is around the same time...........managed to order a stig soap on a rope for him but don't know what else to get
Ideas are welcome.
