    i think the remaining things left now will be 90% off soon, that's what i get excited for!

    Ah thats wonderful, def agree with stretchy pants.....

    Can't belive we went the morning of 75% sale, it was mayhem, popped in FRiday, was in town, thought have a wonder, it was down to 2 shelves, picked up couple strictly sets, but it was mainly mugs and few 3 piece strictly sets. All helps in the big scheme of it all xx

    I have only found this thread and I have read it from start to finish because it was sooooooo interesting!

    I love your hampers and the party in a box - I think it might be appropriate for my niece who will 21 years old at Christmas! Have you started on Mother's day or Easter presents yet? I have quite a few nieces and it would be nice to give them something different rather than Easter eggs and taking them to the cinema - might be less expensive too! :money:

    Congratualtions to you & your oh on the news that yous are expecting your first baby! :beer:

    Oh my, this have been a bit hectic for me, Mr crazy_girl and iccle crazy_boy. He was born at 35 weeks in an emergency CSection so he was in the NICU and SCBU for a while and also I had pre-eclampsia and was really ill too. He's now 7 months and we've also moved house! I have lots of stuff to go on here from Christmas etc. and I will get it on ASAP!
