These:

REad the bottom of the description to see how to assemble them - when you pull em together, you get a long tail that is big enough to tie round the 'neck' of your cellophane...

Okay well I got as far as lol at the list - as in that would fulfil my MIL's dreams and poss OH (If I did it not him) but not gonna happen! Dare I say... other people really do all that.... bless. I do need to do most of that - especially the de-clutter bit but but but :rotfl: like it says on Mary's sig... You can't expect me to be neat too!

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).

[snipped ....]

You'll have to excuse my ignorance rainmac but where do you buy the coasters that you've put your cross stitch work in (not that I can cross stitch that well ) but they look really impressive Can you buy kits or something? Tia x

Passion 8 I am not sure where you live hun but I have a craftwise near me and they sell the coasters there.

ETA think you can get kits but they sell just the coasters, they do rulers, keyrings, and loads of other things too

Hi,
Hope you don't mind me suggesting a site that sells these. www.sewandso.co.uk are fantastic! They have a HUGE range of cross stitch charts, kits and accessories. However, if you can get to a show (there are shows several times a year, all over the country), you can pick up some great bargains. Think there is a show at the NEC coming up very soon. I'm planning on going to the one at the Excel in London next Feb. Better start saving! :rotfl:

As soblivion said (and provided link for ) it's a lovely little thread - not for me though the routine's excellent but routines and me don't always work lol. The kitchen sink cleaning initially seemed slightly patronising to me Maria, but surprisingly enough, it's a great place to start

Just a quick tip though: don't sign up for the Flylady mails as a lot of people said there was just too many. hth

Ooooh, they look difficult but thanks so much for the link I'm a bit far away from the NEC and Excel so I'll keep reading the site from the link you provided

And thanks ickle87 too I'm in the north east and unsure if we have a craftwise nearby but will Google because kits sound perfect lol

Thanks again x
