    I would charge more like £25-30 if I were you for one that looks like that....:A

    :eek: There is quite a bit of profit in ii then though and I always feel dead cheeky. This one there is about £4 profit in there as I managed to pick up bits cheaper than normal for this one. So if I was to charge more I would be robbing people :eek: Although Rainmac has sais I should charge for my time in making them.

    Sorry been really busy today, seen your pm kr15snw. These were my errr, fabulous cellophane wrapping instructions...

    Sorry, can't find the post so posting again, hope nobody minds :p

    Hope this is useful, I found it really hard to explain how to wrap so that's why I drew the diagram but looking at it again it looks really rubbish :rotfl: Hope it's helpful, please let me know if it's not ;)

    Going to bath the boys now but will be back to read through today's posts later, with a cuppa I think and maybe a couple of biccies...
    :wave: If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain :wave:

    Thanks Rainmac, I did search for it but couldn't find it. My explanations on how to do it were confusing to me let alone anyone else.

    Well I nipped upto the place where I was supposed to be selling my nappy cakes and hampers and it was flooded ... needless to say it has been cancelled and I now have to find a home for 40+ nappy cakes :(
