    It looks lovely threelittlepigs They are something I don't think you are ever truly happy with to be honest. I have made a few and everyone comments on how lovely they are but I am never happy with them.

    Just put together a box of sweetys. Contents were free (all out of kiddies stash)
    1 creme egg, pack of mini buttons, packet of hobknobs 2 maom chews 4 lollipops, small milkybar and a bag of maltesers. Wrapped it all up, added string then dropped it on the floor and they have all moved. Plan to just leave it as it is though as she can't tell the whole contents now so she will have to unwrap. Its to go in the hamper for SIL which I mentioned on last page.

    I love the box, where did you get it from?

    I got it as part of a set in Argos a few years ago. They don't seem to do them any more though which is a shame.

    Thanks Crystal. my aim for this one was to pay using only advantage card points and bits in the house. I am lacking money at the moment as the job I started a couple of weeks ago hasn't took off :( I bought some of the mini Charles worthingtons a few weeks back for the 2 hampers I made for my mum and my mother in law 1.
