    I'd made up a little foodie hamper for my Mum's friends Xmas present. Anyway, when my Mum rang her friend to ask what to get for a present for her husband (he's difficult to buy for), she said we'd agreed last year not to do presents anymore! I'm quite glad really as it was beginning to be a pain and I never even see them, so my Mum bought the hamper from me to give to another relative. Saved her a trip to the shops and got me a tenner in the pot :D

    Hello all,

    I see this thread is still moving at a rate of knots. Just managed to catch up after not being online all weekend. Potting away like a good 'un, though, with something going in every day.
    A warm welcome to all the newbies :)
