You are [STRIKE]loads more sympathetic[/STRIKE] a better nurse than me. If I was to do one for DH I'd have to include cards that read 'It's a cold, get over it' 'Now trying adding looking after children into the mix! and 'How come you don't make this fuss and refuse to make a Drs appt when there's something seriously wrong with you?'

Are you including a bell so the recipient can ring it, to have someone run round after them? ;)

and Vaseline for the sore snuffler lol

Snugglebunny8 you make me laugh. Last night when he was banging bits of wood together was the first time I enjoyed the sound. The more he builds the more he has to take down. :rotfl:

Popped into the Range this morning and bought a canvas print. I have absolutely nowhere to hang it, but for £6.99 I just couldn't leave without it.

OMO That print is beautiful now I want one. I am having to stop buying stag products. I have two big pictures and have just bought a duvet cover from K an C- with stag's head's on it and red tartan underneath. I have to iron it yet and put it on the bed so hope it looks nice.
I think it was Nana that bought the wallpaper which I would love but as our house is not built yet I won't be able to tell how much I will need and I loved it!

They are awesome!
We have had our woodburner 7 years now I think... we were the last to join the group though grandparents and aunts and uncles have always had them though (gran and aunt and uncle even have 2!) you will turn your lounge into a sauna very easily, we have a large lounge and often find we have to have the windows open because it gets over 25 degrees in here! But it is awesome . Hardly any upkeep needed and they keep the room for so much longer than an open fire (and no sparks !). Bit of a nack to lighting them but once you get the hang of it... sorted!
We also have oil and an AGA.... hate the AGA it burns my cakes and you cant make meringue ...

Thanks pixtotts and choccy. My husband wanted an open fire but we don't think the planners will allow. We can not wait and I am so excited. We will be up in North of Scotland and it is a bit in the wild's so we will have real stag's around the house I think this is why I am loving the stag's this year. I had to put down one in Dunelm which I loved but I would have got a shake of the head when I came home.

The stag picture is fantastic.

This hamper is really coming together now. So far, it is coming in at 30% less than the RRP price, which is comforting lol. And, I am still £7 under the cost of buying the 50ml fragrance, which gives me a little bit of room for adding those final touches.

So far:
- Black bathrobe.
- 3x "super soft" black face cloths.
- 5x mini bath massagers.
- 4x Viking rubber ducks.
- Body Shop bath pillow.
- Lush Fizzbanger Ballistic.
- Lush Lord of Misrule Ballistic.
- Radox body/hair wash x2.
- Radox muscle soak.
- Vikings by Neil Oliver [some bathtime reading on his favourite topic].
- Terry's Choc Orange Popping Candy for his sweet tooth.

Not decided how I want to package it yet. Thinking I might want to put it together in a box, with tissue paper to line it [baby blue like water]. Then I can pop a lid on the box, as I don't trust myself with cellophane - think I'd make a mess of it.

Don't know if this pic will work, but here's some of the Primark Christmas jumpers.



I love 4 and 5! Proper tacky retro-ness. But they're pretty much the only two I haven't seen in store yet.
