  • Hi, no not a glitch - advertised with the £1.99 crossed through and a 99p sign.

    Might go get another 6 tommorow - thought they'd go down well in the hampers - might look pretty on the table for Chrissy dinner with a ribbon,gift tag/placecard and bauble tied to them - got some lovely free mini ones with a voucher from Dec Ideal home magazine yesterday in M&S. My brains whizzing from all these ideas....I go to bed thinking of hampers and gift baskets, lol.

    savingholmes - to be honest, judging by the state of my spare room at the minute I don't think I need anything else....................yippee !!!!! Got it all bought earlier this year, even bought my flannels in March............just wish I'd started sorting it all earlier though. I find myself starting to get in a bit of a panic over it all. Have to have it done by early December for posting and delivering ............................oh eck:eek:

    Then I keep thinking of other things - I've got both my sons Astral charts in My Documents -completely forgot about them..............plus baby grandsons, and the personalised front pages of the newspaper...............all need printing off and I've run out of ink...........:mad: Then need to roll them up like a scroll and sort out some loo roll middles, stick them together, cover them with pretty paper................and so on and so on..................ooops.........and just remembered I was going to make a sort of christmas cracker out of a white flannel for ex foster girl................got a pack of 3 bath bombs to put inside and got some lovely beady bits to fasten the ends with...........:rotfl:
