Thanks for the ideas! I'm trying to keep it as cheap as possible. I've only spent £7 so far, but I am hoping it will look much more expensive. I'm going to go to B&M's today and see what products they have in to try and bulk it out a little. I like that hat idea too.

If all else fails I will just put chocolate in it, a Christmas present without chocolate wouldn't be right anyway.

I think I may need those sleep in rollers for myself!! They may be the first thing to be added to my Christmas list.

I would recommend them they are amazing! I'm asking for more & the glittery ones!


In more news the bank/fraud fiasco rolls onnnnnn!
Halifax are now being so unhelpful I'm going to close my account on Monday. Bitterly disappointed with their lack of customer service/help for someone who's money has all gone!

Hello All :j

I will go back and read all of todays posts in a minute, but I thought I would just show you all what I have made today.

The pictures aren't great as they were taken on my phone. And some things are not finished as we need a new ink for the printer, to make the labels and tags look nice.

Well here goes -


Tile Coasters


Magnet Pegs


We Whisk you a Merry Kissmas


Corner Bookmarks


Sock Cupcakes with Lindt Choc cherry


Money Tree Cards


Make Mine a Pint


Cup of Tea closed (need to make labels on printer)


Cup of Tea open (poem to be done on printer)


Scrunchie Cupcake with Lindt Choc cherry

Am going to make the chocolates tomorrow.

oh no littlemschatabox am so sorry to hear that! what is wrong with them?? why can't they just help you out after what's happened instead of being awkward - and pinkandfluffy Im so sorry to hear about your job *hugs* I hope you find something soon that you like better xx

working all day today and tomorrow so Sky+ the Christmas movies! though I did snatch 5 minutes to watch Lewis Hamilton take pole postition so that cheered me up!

feeling very dispirited as person who hit hubbies car in the week now backtracking and making all kinds of false statements, some people are just so horrible I dont know how they can live with themselves, this is the 2nd time in a few years somebody hit him and admitted being totally at fault, only to then retract it (after being talked into lying by husband and this time by parents) and accusing him of lying when he would never do such a thing, I wonder why we bother being honest and doing the right thing, and why Im working all hours this weekend when it will all just end up going on insurance access because of people being dishonest to save themselves money

kind of killed my Christmas spirit, apologies, dont mean to dampen the thread

For bath salts I use epsom ones that you mention from ebay with a few drops of colouring and essential oil of your choice. I'm doing that with the same plastic jars - great minds!

I also make brown sugar scrub, you can use any oil such as olive, coconut oil etc and fragrance oil of your choice,just keep adding oil until you have the consistency you want, it is the best thing ever for smooth skin.

Great, thanks. Will give both them a go :j
