    I think it's a great gift Katsu - even if it looks slightly amusing, I think presents like that, where some thought and personality have gone into them, are far preferable to some immaculate, pretty-but-useless gift. And they will definitely be able to make use of the cleaning stuff. I would actually be quite chuffed to get something like that, it would make me laugh and feel touched by the effort.

    I am so tired.... :o

    Things fine with V, have chatted and all is cool, nothing has changed. :)

    Have also had a message from a really interesting man on the cheesy dating site I am sadly a member of. :rotfl:

    And also have a new, rather cute FB friend, who also seems rather nice.

    By the end of the year I will be a) madly in love, b) a size 10 and c) a millionaire*

    Thanks Snaggles, I'm impatient to get the florists tape so I can see how it works. I was very MSE - I got the cleaning cloths and some silk flowers from the 99 shop :D The florists tape and wires cost nearly as much as the other bits :o But I'm hoping I will end up with tape and wires left for future presents.

    LJ, I just want to go toilet. I've had more "stirrings" and I've needed to fart, but when I go, it's all false hope and hot air *sniggers* Have had plenty of veg with my dinner (roast chicken, spuds and LOADS of veg) so hopefully, it'll get moving....and if not, I'll call in Dynarod to get it!
