    Jamtart6, I love that sweetie bouquet!! Its fantastic!! Echoing Sugarhunny, how did you stand the sweets up like that?

    I've just ordered a couple of these http://www.halfcost.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=11&catalogId=10001&productId=21865&categoryId=0 which I'm gonna put retro sweets in for my Sis and BIL, and one for my hubby I think, it doesn't say how big they are, but I think they are groovy!
    You're so very special, I wish I was special :dance:

    hi there

    Can anyone explain how to upload photos on here? have asked on the tec board, and was told to use imageshack..but i can't even manage that :rotfl: .. my photos save as jpeg..don't know if it makes a difference....

    > Go to http://imageshack.us/ and there is a button that says browse.

    > Click on the browse button then you need to browse your computer to locate the photo you want to upload.

    > Select the photo, then click open.

    > There is a tick box below the browse option that says "resize image?" - from the drop down menu I normally choose 640x480 (for message boards) - that way the photo won't be too big for the forum.

    > Click 'Host It'

    > Your photo will then be uploaded to imageshack.

    > Imageshack will then give you several link options for displaying the photo.

    > I choose the one that says " Hotlink for forums (1)" next to it. Click in on the link and it should highlight it.

    > Then right click and copy the link (or use CTRL + C to copy).

    > In the forum start a new message and then you can right click and paste in the link (or CTRL + V pastes the link in).

    HTH

    Hi there MIro

    Its an organza table cloth/runner that i got yesterday for 1euro...about 75p :T

    The pink one is huge and embroidered and was the same price and i got some 3m rolls of organza for 3euros..about £2.25 :T

    my baskets cost roughly £3.50 which i was really happy with - shame they only had 2
