    Got a bargain on the carboot - a wooden footstool, nicely upholstered with a drawer in for stitchy stuff for £3! Will post a pic soon!

    Lucky you! At the carboot I went to yesterday, there was a woman walking round with a footstool she'd bought (wasn't you unless you were in Wetherby ;) ) that I'd have bought if I'd seen it first :mad:

    We were walking up and down the rows the opposite way so I kept passing her and passing her... ;)

    **cough cough** across town has released a 15% off code on their facebook page - i won't post it here but if you can't get over there to check it out let me know and I'll message you.

    Thanks for that Chicky. I have been wanting some threads for awhile but kept putting it off. Now though with a combination of the discount and saving some money by changing my mind about the magnetic board I don't feel so bad about making an order :D

    They're fab Maria!

    I forgot to say, I bought a latch-hook rug making kit yesterday, with the dog from the Popcorn range on it. They're round about the £40 mark in Hobbycraft and I got it from a CS yesterday for £3 :D:j

    PP - I would get them to check the floss they are sending! Say that there was an error in this lot (but as you have paid for x number of skeins you will keep them) but if the next lot is wrong you want a full refund AND to keep the floss!
    Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup :D
