    In Boots today and saw these:
    [FONT=&quot]
    ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=121714&callingViewName=&categoryId=32357&langId=-1&catalogId=11051

    They were £3 each!

    I thought we could borrow the lipgloss in the middle as a cherry idea, can probably get a pack of 4 or 5 lip glosses for a quid or so.

    I'd made the same mistake of buying those too but the £2.49 ones instead of making my own cup cake flannels :o Not sure if you'd noticed but the 17 Lip Gloss Library are on 342 at the moment, and for £12 you'd get 30 mini lip glosses.

    Not sure if that helps at all, but handy if you have spare points (and make your own cupcake flannels ;))

    Maybe a little french phrase book, or dictionary - or a novel/ short story in french to challenge them. this site's good for french tongue twisters and crosswords etc - might be fun as a cheap/ free extra http://french.about.com/od/funstuff/French_Fun_Games_Comics_Tongue_Twisters_Jokes.htm
    Just £10,852.28p to go...

    :D

    Trust that little voice in your head that says "Wouldn't it be interesting if...";
    And then do it.
