Hi Christina have you tried Amazon or Ebay for a Canadian flag? I got a nice USA one from Amazon for £2.65 delivered, 5ft x 3ft, may be worth a try? I will have a look when Im on there and let you know if I can see any. You may be able to get Canadian Ice Wine for your hamper? very traditional over there

Canadian flags on Amazon, first couple 1.99, same size as the USA flag I got from there 5ft x 3ft, hope that helps!

Could maybe look at the teams for hockey, baseball etc for whereever in Canada you are interested in? when I went many years ago I got Toronto Blue Jays mugs, mascots etc

Nanamia I meant I can't add links when on my iPad :rotfl:

My uncle died today.:( very sad but at least he is no longer in pain.

I can't believe that had the holiday gone ahead we would be going on Saturday. We are still going to see Les Mis next Friday. Dd has a Maths exam in the morning and I am at work until 12, but then we are off down the A12 :j. A quick look in Fortnams , a not so quick look in Primark :eek: dinner then the show.
I am going to remember to take drink and sweets with us this time, I am sure when we saw Oz last year the bloody stuff cost more than the seats.

We got dds after prom dress today for £16 in Tescos. I used double vouchers, so kind of got it for nothing ( well no cash left my purse any way) . I also got Robbie a winter coat in the sale to make the money up. She is also going to wear the dress to my cousins wedding. So that's 2 birds killed . She has a number of different coloured blazers to wear with it. We just need to get her some shoes, but we can look in London.

OMO - sorry to hear your sad news.

Does anyone make candles? I am obsessed with yankee and miss being able to afford them! I have recently decided to pass my card making stash on to dd1 as part of her xmas box this year. There is so much of it, and although I have a separate little box of xmas cards I'm making, i just don't enjoy it any more. All my cards are starting to look "samey", I think its time for a change. So I think candles is the way, as im qualified aromatherapist I have over 40 e/oils anyway so scents will not be an issue! Can anyone recommend any good cheap starter sets?

Hoping the sun stays - not very busy this week so want to take the opportunity to sort the garden out!

Just wanted to say you for the lovely welcome
I looked on Amazon last night and ordered a white terramundi which you can decorate yourself. I also ordered some Canadian stickers which I may put on the pot.
