    Thanks for that link Melon!! Those strawberry soaps will be perfect for a hamper I'm going to make for my other half's sister (the pregnant one) I'm making her a strawberry themed hamper with strawberry smelling bath stuff for her to relax. She is obsessed with strawberries and even has a tattoo of one!!

  • Oooh thats my sons birthday ! that could be a sign lol

    There are some cheaper shops down there ... you just have to look hard to find them I used to love the next little place next to havant called emsworth and they had some cheapy shops there which were great.



    Mine sell for about the same :) failing that if you have an ikea locally then they do some nice ones for 20p :)
    that is my daughters birthday aswell
