Eventually managed to get to Home Bargains today and so glad I did I managed to get loads for the boys for Christmas. Whilst I was there I noticed they had these lovely cupcake trays which would be great for some hampers. They were only 99p each so I picked up a couple.

Wow, fab, I am off there tomorrow! Imagine how fab they would look as a B'day gift covered in cupcakes decorated the same and wrapped in cello. Would need to be done at the last min, but v cute. May try it for my mum's b'day next week

Once again thanks for all your support, some of your posts have brought a tear to my eye .

OH has wrote me a letter to send back to X's solicitor and have just got back from my inlaws as FIL is good with words so he checked it all out for me. I am going to see if we can get help with a solicitor in the morning but not sure if we will be able to or not.

Right Nessa an idea for you ... In my local asda they are doing a baileys set its a biggish bottle of baileys and then 4 chocolate cups to drink it from. cost £7 or £8 and its great! This kind of thing might be a good addition aswell as some glasses? or maybe you can find some chocky cups?

Hi all firstly (((hugs))) to Rusty hope things get sorted for you soon. Got a couple of questions for you lovely people on here firstly I have bought my son a senso coffee maker and thought I would do a coffee hamper to go with it, he loves the expensive coffee places so thought I would get some of those sugar stirrers and those little biscuits they have, would like to get some of those disposable coffee cups with the funny lids, does anyone know where you can get them??? I know Ebay do them but they only seem to do large amounts and I only need a few, any ideas.
Also I managed to buy some plastic picnic cups cheap in the sales and im going to fill them with sweeties for my nieces and nephews, I would like to personlise them with their names, does anyone know what I can use that wont wash off???
Thanks in advance

That sounds good . There isn't really an ASDA near to me though.

Closest one is 45 miles from home. 15 miles from the town I work in though. May head up there closer to Christmas, as I have done in previous years. They always have lots of nice Christmassy stuff.

If someone can give me a shout when their Christmas stuff is out I'd appreciate it, or maybe I'll head up later in the month.

Thanks for that Just waiting to get another pack to put the other bottles in then I can attack, rejigg and wack into shape. Pic's I put on are not that good because I have to use my mobile as I need a new digi camera, unless my bro lets me lend his.

And will have a look next time I'm in my bigger Boots store for the nails you mention as I couldn't find any cheap in mine over the weekend. Why they can't have the same stuff in my nearest store like they have in the bigger one is beyond me

I have never been so obsessed about shopping since I looked in here

Thanks

:rotfl:
I've only just found out that it was false toenails :eek: that were reduced in Boots at the weekend, but hopefully your friend doesn't have a problem with chewing those? Apologies btw if it seemed like I was avoiding the places that other people have mentioned - like Poundland, Savers etc - but I had Boots points on the brain that day (They do reduce the 'normal nails btw - and good varnishes like nails inc. etc ) Know what you mean about shopping too The containers of certain things are becoming more important than the contents :rotfl:

Those goblets sound fab BigMummaF (post #4629) I might invest in some for DD who's throwing a party for Halloween and bonfire night I'm presuming MrA is Asda? tia

Love all the NUFC stuff Rusty

Brilliant idea putting the voucher inside the DVD case lilian (post #4669) - I'd never have thought of that Re your post #4717, can I ask who you bought the bags (?) from on eBay pls? They look really pretty. Thanks in advance.

Loving those cellophane cones everyone (that's my way of saying I've forgotten who mentioned them lol) but they're on the 'must buy list'

And thanks savingholmes for the mention of popcorn, it's a great idea! (post #4687) Lush use that in their parcels don't they? Theirs was just too scenty for me, and I binned a bagful I'm a bad moneysaver

Thanks to everyone else for all the links too - it's costing me a fortune lol, and thanks again for all of your inspirational ideas and pictures x
