love this! can i ask where you got the box from? thanks

Home Bargains. Think they were about 80p for 6.

Which is why I bought loads, even though I had no idea what I was going to do with them .:D

Covered a lid of an old jam jar last night. I want to use them for my body scrub.
I think it turned out OK.



Here is the tutorial -

I covered the top with PVA glue to give it a protective cover.

Hi all, what a lovely thread. I've read as many pages as I can so sorry if this has been asked recently. I'm going to make, in 250ml bottles, Werther's, Rhubarb and Custard, Pineapple chunk and Fox's Glacier mint vodka. How many sweets would people suggest putting in each one? Thanks.

Also, how long will it last once made? As long as I don't drink it first! As I don't know when I'll be seeing the person I'm making it for. Thanks.

jeningers am so sorry to hear your news hun, *hugs* had one at 8 weeks before my DD and it seemed very impersonal and almost like it wasnt a big deal to them, but it is a big deal and they should have taken good care of you and shown compassion, I dont blame you for feeling upset about your treatment

give your little one a huge hug, am so glad you have them there to help see you through - we are all thinking of you and are here if you want to chat, lots of love xx


hamish222 am so sorry to hear what happened to you too *sends hugs* but wishing you loads of luck with the adoption process and hope that gets sorted for you very soon xxx

well done to your DS Pinksteps!!!! thats great news

the Starbucks Christmas coffee you can buy in boxes of 12 sachets didnt come in decaf last year as I looked, just got the normal one, but am sure they do do a decaf box of sachets in one of their normal ones? may be the Italian?

Possession thanks

It woulnt be so bad but my second scan showed it had grown (even after they told me first was a missed miscarrige) but still not big enough to see heartbeat so scheduled for a 3rd scan this tues. Said but if you miscarry naturally just get in touch.

So I did they said well not much we cn do (I wasnt sure I definitely had as I didnt have time to collect" it) then told e if I was really worried go to a&e who would refer me up to them! as they didnt have any appointments for me to be seen and on Drs referral I would be seen (complete madness)

SO I spent 3 hours in a&e an the lovely dr who saw me said he was unabl to get them to take my referral even after wat they had told me to do anhe thought it a disgrace and said hewould make formal complaint as it wasted my time as well as his.

And he said my blood press uer was v low and I am quiet anaemic abd he said it wont help trapsing out to a&e when I shoudl have my feet up

Sorry rant over complete mess

YEt when I mis- micarried first time round they were fantastic got it confimed I was in hospital 1 day later having a d&c. I wonder if its becaue its my 3rd pregnancy and they see it as been there before??

Sorry rant over. I will be back on with positive Christmas vibe soon:)

My thoughts are with you jeningers. Please take it easy hun & get back to us when your able too! XX

I have been lurking around reading all your wonderfull ideas and bargain finds for the last month or so and think its time I join in.

I adore Christmas - the only thing stopping me putting the christmas tree up now is the grief I would get from my OH - roll on the 1st of December!

I am pretty much organised and have been picking up bargains for the last 3 months, and now only have 2 people left to buy for! I saw the picture of someone's red mixed wrapping paper from M&S with the stickers on them and was so impressed with how they looked I went and got it yesterday and I am so pleased I did, even saying so myself I think they look great.

So, Friday I am off to the Trafford Center in Manchester to finish of my shopping and enjoy a couple of festive mince pies and Coffees to keep me going.
But first I am going to the Christmas Factory (basically a big discount warehouse of all things Christmasy) with my SIL and my children. Hopefully my OH wont be to upset when he sees a massive light up reindeer on the front lawn!! :j
