Just lost a post .

Had a look on the poundland website
They also had these Disney Toy Story Childrens Cutlery Set
Disney cutlery set including knife, fork and spoon. For ages 3+. Perfect for the kids to Perfect for the kids to enjoy eating!

I saw these a few weeks back but couldnt find them instore so I emailed them and they told me that they were all sold out and they werent getting anymore :mad: Ive bought DS a set from studio with his named engraved now, only £2.09 in the sale though so nevermind (would have preferred the toy story ones, he loves it!)

msgigglewick That reindeer is lovely, well done you! How long did it take you to make?

I was getting ready this morning to drive to the next town to get a toy for my DD that is constantly OOS at argos, DS fell asleep so the trip was put off til this aft, BUT argos emailed me about more stock coming in so I checked my local and its there :T

thats great Jen! it's annoyingwhen you can't get something you really want and such a relief when you get that 'your item is reserved' notice!

have to go into town for some training (election day thing) and there is a 99p store, so popping in to see if there are any of the storage boxes

He took about 8 hours in total i guess, thats in between kids and dinner and other bits lol the body and legs are one piece, the head is in 4 pieces. So not too bad.

apologies if it's already been mentioned...

if anyone is going to give M&S gift vouchers, they have gorgeous Christmas ones - a lovely white/silver sparkly bauble shaped one & a 3D wintry scene with reindeer in the sky. There are others but I can't remember what they are

I'm going to make a crocheted star garland for my sister and some crocheted hair clips for my niece. I only have very basic crochet skills, I can do flowers, stars and hearts quite easily. I'd like to do some more complex things but I don't think now is the time to start learning! They do take a while to make but I know that they are really appreciated. Last year I made 3 for my friends, I loved doing it though so I'm going to do more this year. I wish I could knit too, the reindeer is fantastic msgigglewick!

ty my mum crochets and i can do the basic chain lol not tried anything else though as knitting seems to be 'my thing'. hope you post a pictures of the garland.. If i had more time i wanted todo some bits for the garland i have on the stairs but got a feeling that will have to wait until next year now. We'll see.

Been looking into making a sleigh to go with the reindeer, just got to work out how to keep it standing tall.. cardboard maybe.
