    To be honest this is not only money saving for the gift giver but also for the gift receiver. They are perfect for friends who are feeling the pinch as they are so useful and save them money on essential items x
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.
  • I printed a sacla sauce voucher off board and got a jar of pesto free this morning- there is a £1 coupon to print and pesto in my store was 98p so 2p in front :T hope this might help

    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)

    Weight loss 3 stone :D

    Did you get the Angel Delight Ice Cream mix and the tiny bottle of Tabasco?
    I also got John West Kipper pate today from Home Bargains 39p

    I am padding out my hampers with foraged food... Yes I did have to buy the cheap Gin but how about Sloe Gin... the bushes are laden here

    Also for the hamper itself Great Red wicker basket 3.99 at HB really deep and useful as a toybasket later.
