    how old is she? I always thought they were like 5 when they lost their first one. You can see my sons new tooth already. Luckily he didn't swallow it as he was eating at the time lol ... I know I am setting a dangerous precedent but we used to get £1 as children and prices are inflated now ;) Plus we don't mind as it is not something which happens every day and it is to go in his bank so its all fine :)

    She is 5 but my mil thought they should be 6 or 7 - she accused me of not looking after her teeth like it had dropped out due to sweets or something - it was fine - until she literally lost it! I'll send you a pm

    savingholmes your presents are lovely, the cooking baskets are such a great idea for the young ones, they'll get lots of pleasure from making things. Brilliant.

    Rusty - your children are just so gorgeous, they have such lovely eyes. Your "little gappy" looks so cheeky LOL

    Beautiful hampers everyone!

    Have recently made a choccy hamper for ds/ddil they took it away in a black bin liner tho (underneath all wrapped in celle/bow) with strict instructions not to open till their anniversary next month. So no feedback yet. Was really enjoyable hunting down all things choccy related! Chocolate face mask in B*ots for 89p. Made the swiss roll and wrapped in cello looked quite scrummy!

    Dont know if anybody would like this idea for foody hampers, but just found Joanne Fluke and she's author of mystery/murder books BUT all her titles are cake related:D . I have purchased the Fudge Cupcake murder and Chocolate Chip Cookie murder. These are revolved around Hannah and her family/friends and the cookie shop which she ownes it has some humerous moments (specially with intefering mother)
    No swearing (which is a plus as it's starting to get more frequent in books and is not necessary imo). An easy to read book. The cheapest I have found is on A*zon if anybodies interested.
