    I love this glitch - do you think my families would like some no.7 glossy locks and body buffer??? i was too chicken to try the 6for 1 tho!!


    thanks for info on wilkies i will get down there asap.

    I cleared out my cupboards the other day - one bin bag, one boot sale bag and one shoebox bag....i hasten to add the shoebox stuff was things i had never used (like bags purses oops!). I probably never will use them so decided someone else could benefit. It is suprising what I found that I hadnt used...

    I have got a tidy little stock for my shoeboxes - but where to store it all!!!

  • was in tesco last night and they have thier pound stuff back in.
    pk of 24 pencils
    pencil tin and pencil set in pink
    pk of 3 hard back notebooks
    various other things that i cant quite remember

    thought some of these may be good for shoebox appeal

    thanks strawbs x

    I haven't tried either of those products myself so may have buy and try them just to be sure..... :rotfl:
    I've just done the 6 for 1 again today. I'm making hampers for the school summer fete. Go on try it before it closes and if they complain say I told you to do it!
