    Hmm - don't think the quiz is for me. I seem to be amongst some very clever peeps and the easier the questions the worse I do:(:(:(

    It is offering 50p vouchers though!

    Yeah, but that has been around a while. I used that the other day off the coupon thread. :p

    Thanks for that MKS, it's always good to have a personal recommendation! :j I'm getting quite excited about going now!
    Hope is not a strategy.

    When we were down stopping with family in Guildford in April there was a storm over head then. I opened the curtains to watch it. Suddenly from no where came with bolt of lightening it hit the outside light and bounced of metal window frame. That was close enough I was only 3 meters from it. :rotfl:


    amazing! :)

    You can use old clothing or bedding, that's what we did in our village recently, and your brothers and sisters can all turn out their wardrobes and linen cupboards. :) What area of the country are you, jagbeth?

    Good idea, will speak to them today. I am in East Sussex.

    Does it have to be material?
    For my daughters birthday I used plastic carrier bags. We saved all sorts of colourful carrier bags, and if you cut carefully you can get quite a few out of each bag, (although you probably want to avoid any names) they also had the added advantage that they are waterproof so still looked quite good when it rained. I guess that you might not have enough for 150 ft but might be worth adding to what you do have to make the material stretch further.
    Also like the idea suggested that your siblings donate some of their wardrobe, but give them a template for the bunting and get them to cut it so that you can save your self some work. You never know they might even like identifying their clothes in the bunting.

    As above going to check with the others but like the idea of plastic bags to make it go further if nt enough material.

    :) Mentioned before - Co Op has Union Jack bunting for 20p for 5 metres. 9 packs would cover 150 feet. I can get you some (not sure if I can get 9 but I'll pop in on way to work)
    But if you just need blue - how about cutting up rubble sacks?

    Not sue about union jack bunting but Will keep that in mind if I can't source enough material.
