    The poem is absolutely fantastic, I bought one to put in my sisters 40th birthday hamper and will now include the poem. Thank you so much.
    If I knew how to show the photos smaller, I'd show you the other ones. They were in the bushes, on posters, on cards in shops. They took lots of photos and even named the little men. These children are 13, 11 and 11. My husband was the worse one though. LOL.

    that reminds me of an old Tommy Steele song "there's a little man in the fridge......"

    Only those old enough will remember it :D



    actually I don't either but granny used to sing it to me ;) it's just a little white lie :D
  • Nemotoad try Dunelm I've just checked and there is one in York.

    I've been to Dunelm today and they had some nice baskets starting at £1.99 including some black cube ones 9 inch square with handles integrated into side £1.99, I think they had other colours too.
    They also had loads of lap trays in pretty designs £3.49 which would be great for doing a tea tray hamper.
    Also I noticed kiddies aprons various colours & designs, wipeable (sort of plastic coated) for those doing baking or craft/painting hampers £1.29
    Also nice seagrass type baskets from £2.99

    Oh and nearly forgot - they had mugs with names on eg Samantha; Robert etc. They were in various colours, the male ones being darker and female brighter colour. Under the name it said what the name meant + other info such as colour/number/ jewel/flower etc They were a bargain at 49p! No names there to suit any of my family unfortunately but I pointed them out to my friend and she picked up 3
