Evening everyone,
I'm going to be really cheeky and ask if anyone has two spare muffin cases? I don't mind sending postage, I only need two and the ones on ebay are only sold in sets. Don't need loads. Sorry if I've offended anyone.

I've checked out the coffee pods - you have to have a machine to use them unfortunately... I did pick up some 50p bargains on Palmolive and Imperial Leather new products. They also had most of the foamburst series for £1 normally £2.48. They also had some bath products for £1. I picked up some wine glasses for a hamper - set of 4 for 88p!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Savingholmes they are for the dolce gusto I believe is that right? I didn't read it properly but saw they were free so thought they may well be handy for someone.
Wine glasses sounds cheap!

:j :j Oooh Lydia I bet they went over brilliantly. I love the baskets you put them in, they look very expensive. Sorry I've not said till now, I keep missing things
My DD (with a bit of help from mum) did a xmas food hamper for her bf's grandparents last year. She just didn't know what else to get them and she was given a big hamper with a lid to use for it. They loved it.0 -
