Hi

This is a bit late but I spotted these in Roseby's this afternoon so thought I would mention it as I remember people discussing them on this thread. They have a closing down sale and had assorted colours saying "nanny's little helper", "mummy's little helper" and "granny's little helper" for £1.99.

This was in Brighton but I think they have closing down sales across the country.

I think they are, I have 2 near me and they are both closing down.

Unfortunately my three were blessed with an out-&-out nutta for a mother They're all in their twenties now, but I still get a thrill out of finding bits like this for them...Life is far too serious at the best of times--just down-right :eek: this year--so anything to lighten the mood is more than welcome in this household :j

Here here BMF :T

Bravo :T gonna get 1 of them snuggle pillows? not sure how to explain these but they're like an oblong that r very comfey saw them in home bargins for about £3

Also, how about a cheapy mug with a hot chocolate sachet and a small handful of marshmallows, you can get the mini marshmallows and put a handful into a sandwich bag and tie with a pretty ribbon. Would also do for the friends hamper too

Here's another tea set I've made up...





It's for my OH's uncle and contains: mug (99p Ikea second); teabags (£1.20ish), Galaxy mini choc bars (3 from pack of 10 £1.89 so about 60p); coaster (I cross stitched this in Xmasy colours with threads and fabric I had already and just bought a coaster to pop it in for £1); shortbread biscuits (62p Tesco).
