The cheapest way to get bottles for vodka is to buy either mini wine bottles (pick ones without writing on the screwtop) or vinegar bottles. Or even value ketchup bottles. Up to you whether you actually use the contents!

I think I am going to try the glacier mint vodka :T

chirpychick-How did your appointment go? So sorry you have had to go through so much heartbreak, I cannot imagine what it must have been like. Ill be keeping everything crossed that the rest of your pregnancy is extremely boring and event free. X

Damzel_In_Distress-My DS (age 7) loves teddies too! He didnt pay them any attention to them when he was little, in fact a lot were sold at car boots/given away then when he was 6 he all of a sudden started liking them! He has loads now and loves tucking them in etc lol.

will-be-debt-free-Poor you being 8 days overdue already. Heres hoping baby arrives soon. I went 7 days over with DS and my appointment to see the consultant wasnt until another 7 days after that so if I hadnt had him I would have been 14 days over before I even had an appointment about inducing! :eek:

babyb06-chickywiggle has put a link up to the website you can buy bags of galaxy truffles from.
Wowser at the £5000 hamper!! :eek:
Sainsburys had LOADS of christmas stuff out today. So now they have the gifts and food out, just waiting on the decs. Gifts arent 3 for 2 yet tho. Im waiting for them all to go 1/2 price. :rotfl: Seen loads of stuff I like! Asda have also put out their christmas food aisle and they have some fantastic stuff this year! They have a 3 for £10 on certain boxes of chocolates and tins of biscuits, some are £7 on their own so great bargain. Some things included were:

Christmas tree shaped box of Ferrero rocher
Me to You box of chocs

All varieties of Lindt chocolates

Lots of other things in the deal too!
