Thanks Shaz, I had PND with my son but I didn't realise it til things went wrong and my step mum told me. Now I can look back and see it however I wasn't that bad, or at least I don't think I was. She really needed a break and I know she appreciates it.
Me on the other hand ... I am trying to listen to the tv and the 2 babies are having a contest on who can cry and scream the loudest :eek:Raising kids is like being held hostage by midget terrorists0 -

Thanks for all the inspiration - was wondering how to make my xmas bargains look expensive until I found this thread.
For some strange reason I've been hoarding cardboard boxes and bubble wrap so am going to try covering a couple with bubble wrap and then fabric that I have had lying around for ages.
Have been having a play and socks look great in mugs as well as in cupcake cases.Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended

Hi savingholmes
The container i used was from Poundland in Merry Hill. All in all i think the whole hamper cost less than £4 and it actually made my sons nursery teacher cry.0
