For the Basic Coffee Scrub you will need

2 Cups of Coffee Grounds (you can recycle old coffee grounds as long as you use them soon after brewing the coffee)

1/2 cup Sugar/ fine sea salt

2/3 teaspoon of essential oil

Make sure you use the scrub within 20min of making it, rub on to skin in a circular motion and rinse off, helps make skin feel revitalised and is supposed to be good for cellulite and v veins.

Place rocks in a bowl or dish to scent a room. A nice alternative to potpourri!

• 1/2 cup plain flour
• 1/2 cup salt
• 1/4 teaspoon essential oil (your favorite scent)
• 2/3 cups boiling water
• Food coloring, if desired

1. In bowl, mix dry ingredients well.
2. Add essential oil, and boiling water to dry ingredients. (Scent will be strong, but will fade slightly when dry.)
3. For colored stones, blend in food coloring, one drop at a time until desired shade is reached.
4. Blend ingredients, and form balls into different shape and sizes to look like stones.
5. Allow stones to dry.

Our Wilkinsons had all the gift bags reduced to 25p even the really expensive ones, but all that was left by the time I got there yesterday was bottle bags, and some pretty nice ones too! I don't buy bottles so I didn't get any but If ours has lots left maybe yours has too. Alernatively you could try Clintons, they had some reduced to 10p but I'm not sure what they were like.

First, cut a big hole through the lid that is big enough to put your picture in it.
Secondly, Get as many puzzle pieces as you can and paint them red, pink white and other Valentine's Day Colors. Let Dry.
Now carefully glue the puzzle pieces to the plastic lid. Make one row complete circle of pieces and then let dry. Now, glue the rest of the puzzle pieces layering the first layer.
What you can do when finished: Add heart stickers, paint hearts or paint small heart candies on them.
Now, carefully cut the picture to fit the BACK of the lid and when dried, glue the cardboard piece to the back.
There is many possibility's to do this and its easy and fun.

Hello all :j
Been very organised today...............lol Started making christmas cards................:rotfl: OH looked at me as if I was bonkers but it took a while to dismantle cards I'd had and try and work out where to put bits and pieces on new cards................I did think 'is it worth is' but I do get pleasure from it so course it is.

Other than that, done nothing...............really should.......got a pile of stuff to do (washing ? don't mention it!!) and thats just for a start :rolleyes:

I'm sure we could use different things to make the poop?? Red tick tacks, pink smarties, mini mints, choc raisons etc etc etc...

Put in anything and attch the following poem:

Here is something from the cupids above
Who fly along with all the doves
Whose arrows have hit many lonely hearts
they send you a gift for your heart
your kindness and love have been so true
so the cupids have sent you their little poo-poo
