On a less happy note, I can't find hampers/baskets anywhere. My wilkos doesn't seem to stock any, and despite being in London, I can't seem to find nice and cheap baskets anywhere! Grr!

You can buy from Wilkinsons online, just stick Wilkinsons on Google

I think you people are so creative and I have been trying to find a link to photos of finished hampers. I retired after 35 years of hard toil and now have 'me' time so would love to have a go at baskets for Xmas pressies. My family would be very surprised!
Can anyone help with photo link please/

I did a hamper for my dad which would be ok for an allotment gardener -
plant labels, plant ties, seed trays, gardening gloves, a kneeling pad, secateurs (sp?), packets of seeds for veg etc. Used a plastic trug as a hamper basket

Also don't know if you have Asda near you but our local Asda still has a tiny section of gardening hardware for 50-75% off, woolworths also always seem to keep a section of gardening stuff that is regularly reduced and have colourful plastic tubs etc

HTH
Cheers

Maria I am exactly the same. I have done nothing all day cause I feel all yucky and full of the lergy! but my little one normally has between 1-2 hours a day and this morning I had just sat down after making a cuppa and she was awake again so not sure if I was sleepwalking or something lol
