Rusty if you want Copics you can get the full set of 344 for £1600! :eek: Lol I was looking out of interest the other day but quickly decided that actually I don't need them...

Craftfaries i've been following your blog for a while (linked from It's All Fiddle Fart) so it's nice to see you've joined our forum! Loving the aluminium tape and will definitely look out for it in Lidls.

Congratulations on all your DT positions - I think I may make more of an effort to apply for them in future as you all put me to shame!

Craftygranny sorry to hear about your son you must be so worried.

Lei - Toilet roll - students are always running out of it! How about some pens too?

Haha cheers I love that idea...

Lei - a laundry bin/bag &/or some Persil/Ariel - if he doesn't use the latter he'll want something to tote it home in for your Mum.:)

Lol yeah he's already said he'll be coming home every fortnight to get his washing done :rotfl:

Lei - not sure if this helps but I've done little SOS boxes for my two sons (well grown up but still might find them useful)
I've filled them with things they might run out of -batteries, elastoplast, spare toothbrush/toothpaste, drawing pins, blutac, sachet of shampoo, rennies, paracetamol,-bits like that.

Ooh some really useful ideas, thank you.

Donna Marie Welcome to the lovely friendly card making thread. I have just bought the Christmas tree folder (set) shown on craftfairies blog, I only ordered yesterday morning and its here!! I bought it from cutting edge crafts £6.39 with free p&p I also bought the Thankyou set from the NEC they are great for quick but effective cards. HTH

Ok, thanks for the link. Now when I get into trouble (yeah!) for buying more stuff, I'll blame you. I bought the winter and christmas pack plus a Nellie Snellen xmas tree die and a maianne snowflake set. It's all your fault, lol. :rotfl:

TomsMom - just got back from Hobbycraft and have bought 15 magnetic foam sheets - the first HC i went to had run out of them so had to go to the other which had them. Didn't have many colours left though so got 6 pink; 6 purple; 1 black, green and red.

Let me know what colours you want and i'll pop them in the post this afternoon. Need to pop out about 4.30, so if you let me know before this I'll post them today, if not it will be Wednesday next week as we are off on hols again first thing in the morning until Tues.

Oh thanks so much hun! As you got most of the pink and purple I'll have one each of those. I'll get a cheque off to you as soon as I've seen how much the postage on the envelope is. Thanks so very much for doing this.

To the other two who said they'd get me some if CT didn't find any, thanks so much for the offer of help. Isn't everyone on this thread lovely :T.
