I have just popped to Lidl, they had some aluminium adhesive tape in there, it is fab for making metal charms and embosses and die cuts fantastically!!
There was 15m for 1.69
I have blogged it and also a very fast demo of what it looks like embossed, but would be a bargain for christmas cards!

Hi everyone

I'm at a softplay place so can get internet connection but having ploughed through my emails and try to suss the cheapest place fro a DS Lite I only have 30 mins battery life left which isn't going to get me very far through the 100 pages I have to catch up on. I will be back in the land of internet connection sometime on Monday which will be great. The children will feel like caged animals though as they have had so much freedom and been outside permanently. They have also been going to bed really late and waking up late which is going to be interesting when school starts on Thursday. Hope everyone is well and catch up soon. WBR you have mail and Marg you have email.

Hugs to all X

Thanks to those who've replied already. x

I haven't recieved anything (checked my Junk Mail too)...

Also, my brother has done really well with his A Levels (A*AB) and is off to Uni at the end of September so I want to make him a survival kit. So far I thought I could include an alarm clock, planner, packet noodles, student cook book, mini piggy bank, iTunes voucher, set of shot glasses, paracetemol, condoms. Anymore ideas?
