  • o0o I like those baskets, I think they would be suitable for most people! Good for colour co-ordinated hampers!

    Rusty - you are a bad influence! I spent more money today on bits for hampers. Hawkins Bazaar called my name, bought a few novelty bits and pieces for hampers

    Mary, I am absolutely rubbish at explaining books so here's you go... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Garden-Spells-Sarah-Addison-Allen/dp/034093574X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1219862653&sr=8-1

    It's not really my kind of book but I am loving it so far (about 90 pages in so far).

    I love the Book People - great prices and good selection, not sure if The Workhouse would have been my first choice Mary but bet it's really interesting ;)

    Got to have someone to blame, can't be our own fault that we spend money, surely? :rotfl:
