D4WNO why not print your own on the PC?CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J0

You can edit the size in photobucket. Go to edit/resize and select the message board one I think it is and it should be a better size

Just a quickie....Whittards are doing "hamper" type gift sets - guess someone in their marketing department has been reading this thread lol!
They're all in a cardboard box with lid with tissue paper, varying prices - generally a mug + either coaster to match or tin/packet of hot choc mix/tea/coffee....£5.50 up to about £7-8.
I was very MSE - bought the mug & coaster for my best mate for £4 so will make into a chocolate hamper with some hot choc sachets, a mini whisk & marshmallows - for around £5.50! 0 -
Forgot to add, DF's parents are getting a tea-time hamper...2 mugs & teatowels from some battered Boots bargain NT sets, a washable basket from Wilkies, 2 crossword books, 2 packets of tea from Whittards (they've got a sale on so prices are quite good) & a packet of cookies from M&S - MIL is diabetic, so was ages looking for the lowest sugar content, must have looked at every packet of biscuits in M&S today!
Just got to lay it out & cellophane it for the weekend...they're going to BIL's for Chrimbo, and BIL is visiting on Sat (for footie match) & is collecting their pressie & his daughter's 21st pressie so they don't get damaged.
Whittards also had bath tub tea bags (£1.75), eye bag tea bags (£1.50) & foot soother tea bags (1.75) for pamper hampers...0 -
All these baskets are fantastic and have really inspired me! Where do you get the cellophane from? I used to work in a florist/bridal shop and sometimes used theirs but am stuck where to find it now. Cheers!Sept. grocery challenge = £500 (221.60 so far!;))0
