    Hi!

    I can tick two balance bikes off my Santa list! I have done a table top sale today, and wasn't supposed to be buying, but I did want these for my kiddies anyway, and they are both like new! And about a third of the usual price! I also sold lots and we made about £175 so DS can have a term at football class and DD a dance class as their other "big" present! :T

    Hi all, sorry not had chance to read back but I have read about some people wanting baskets for hampers, I bought these http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001D5HBBW/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00
    they are not huge and quite shallow but I thought they were a good price for what they are and think they will look great as small hampers x :xmassmile

    A picture of this evenings makes.

    Not finished as I need to get the sweets to put in them before I can close them.
    They are simply a tube that is closed in different directions at either end.

    Of course it will be.
    They want you to watch the whole show.
    I have never watched it. I'm just waiting until it nearly finishes then flicking over to catch it.

    I believed in Santa for so long because of my parents - one of the things they did to make it seem more real was wrap all of my presents 'from' Santa in that really cheap, thin wrapping paper and the presents from them in different stuff. Not only was this quite MSE of them, they told us it was because Santa had to use cheaper paper because he had so many presents to give. It might not work on kids now but this was an utterly convincing argument for me at that age!!


    I do this :T:T:T

    All their stuff from Santa is in bright paper, and their gift from hubby and I are in the fancy gold wrapping under the tree, same as the rest of the familys'. We save the ones from us until after Christmas dinner so as to spread things out bit through the day :D
