Come and have a rummage in my wardrobe

Thanks shellsuit - if only it was that easy!

I was born in 1980 so don't have anything in my wardrobe already - really trying not to spend any money but I can't seem to find much. My mum never hoards anything :rolleyes:
(Think I'll pop a post on somewhere to see of people can help with some ideas).

Just go for the Dallas/Dynasty look.( power dressing ). Take any blouse or top with sleeves stick in a couple of huge shoulder pads. High heels, tight skirt, big belt painted long fingernails and a poofy hair do !!

Ooh how it takes me back :rolleyes2

Just seen a photo of a packet of Poppets (the chocolate sweets) and on the packaging for the mint flavour ones is a picture of a Rubik's cube.

Hey guys,

I read the chat forums all the time (and am a big fan) but I'm a complete newbie when it comes to posting so I hope I've done this correctly!! If not - please let me know :-)

Anyway - I saw your post about the 80's hamper and someone's comment suggesting you try TruffleShuffle.com so I had to post a comment! I work there and we've just released a super special 20% discount code which is only valid till Sunday - it's great for Christmas Pressie savings and we have tonnes of things which would be perfect for your hamper!!

Just go to https://www.TruffleShuffle.com, buy your presents and enter discount code ‘crazyfools’ at the checkout…. and 20% will automatically be deducted.

We seem to be having problems getting PayPal to take the code off at the moment but if you do pay this way and the discount isn't applied, just e-mail us and we'll refund the 20% straight away for you.

You also get free recorded delivery when you spend over £50 and free Next Day Delivery when you spend over £100.

AND!! We're also sending out free packs of retro sweets with all our orders over the xmas period (Includes an anglo bubbly, fuitsalad, blackjack, lovehearts, Mojo, Fizz Wizz, Parma Violets etc.) so that would be a perfect little extra for the hamper!!

Anyway - hope that helps!! If there is another page specifically for this kind of things, please feel free to post it there too (i'm not sure how!!??)

Love Claire x

PS - If I get any more codes - I'll let you all know!!
