    did you get the pullbows?? they were the only ones i could do, couldnt get much easier than to pull the 2 small pieces of ribbon and it makes it for you :D lol

    i wasted about 10 trying to figure it out! i read loads of instructions from ebay sellers and still couldnt figure it out. i was trying to pull the thin ribbons away from each other which just tore the big ribbons! it seems so easy now i know how though!

    Rosekitten - those baskets look absolutely gorgeous. I'd feel so spoilt and special if I got something like that :grin:. I shall try and keep pics of your hampers in mind for next year so I can try and copy them.
    I venture on to the Boots thread now and them and know it's a brilliant thing. However, I must say I get completely overwhelmed and lost because there are so many contributions. I know there is the front page but any other advice on keeping on top of it? How often do you check this thread?!
    Thanks

    I usualy have a look once a week or so
    just did the one with the dreamland
    electric blanket with that and the other
    stuff I bought using boots gift vouchers
    that I got free from pigsback.I went back
    the following week took back the blanket
    and got the amount on a gift card,nearly
    3000 points on my advantage card(worth
    nearly £30 to spend instore)so I have
    ended up with a large sized
    Tony & Guy shampoo for £1.69 a small
    size matching bottle of conditioner free,three
    £8 gift sets and rather bizzare £2 in cash
    refund as well as the points & gift card.Oh and
    a large Gillette shaving kit for £9.99 instead of £19.99
    plus 500 points.Since i have been reading
    that thread my points are currently £118.55
    in value they would have been £143.55.
    but I bought a foot spa that was reduced to half
    price.It can get a bit mind boggling following
    the different offers but they do find some real bargains
