Hello all :j
Wet day here and bloomin' cold -was going into town but didn't see the point in getting wet and freezing :eek:
so -stayed in and covered the box I'd got with the paper I ordered. Looks lovely -......:rolleyes:nice enough to keep ? Nope.......supposed to be having a clear out not adding to what I've already got.

scattymam -Easter ideas -been looking for some myself that I can post and can only come up with
flannel bunny with mini eggs inside insidead of the soap,
trying to hoard egg boxes before OH recycles them and going to put cadburys creme eggs in them for the teenage grandkids -oval bathbombs if I can get them for teenage grandaughter
Then I'm a bit stuck. There is an Easter thread on here that might be worth having a look at.

Had stig soap on a rope arrive this morning :T Massive box for something so small.........:rotfl:

Love the sound of the easter flannels, can I be cheeky and borrow that idea from you,

"MASSIVE BOX FOR SOMETHING SO SMALL" thought that related to mens wallet... full of moth balls and fresh air!"! xx

Hmm, no one to do anything for for Valentines day here lol
we're meant to be single, happy and independant - that is until the spiders come out!!
Does anyone have any Mother's Day ideas please? It's the same day as my parents anniversary, so really unsure here!

What about a scrap book, (not sure on right wording!), as a then to now with their wedding, and a nice photo of the family.

As for mum, - what about a pamper hamper for her, or very mse - if you have a local college, most have a health and beauty section and the prices are brilliant, all treatments are done by students, supervised by tutor, but a fraction of the price, our local college a manicure or pedicure starts at £4.00 compared to normal prices, and you could go with her? xx

Just to say a massive thank you to Sarah, who has very kindly taken over the crafting mini challenges, as from the last thread, you may all be aware my one and only craft - is the famous Blue Peter (1970s) model letter rack...

Thank you again, I can't wait to try some more crafting.

DD has decided she must make some valentine cards, thou she's not sure how many boyfriends she'll have by then... we have to realise its still February!! but that doesn't her talking about her 1st sleepover, half term week, and swimming with dolphins next yr...

Ahh bless.

Elysia went to her first proper pantomine at the Birmingham Hippodrome yesterday. Every other word out of her mouth is Ray Quinn this and Joe Pasquale that! How they grow up! She'll be 7 on Monday.

I was single parent 10 years until the postie asked me out. Have been together 9 years in May. He used to be loaded and now he's pennyless......poor bloke. Still he's got us :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
