Pop into card factory instead those ones in poundland are literally a printed cardboard bag but you can get similar in card factory for 99p and it is hessian I bought one the other day, I'll pop a picture up later xx

I got one from poundland the other day and it is the sack in the picture, not cardboard. Just liked that it was about a tenner cheaper than the same elsewhere!

Pigpen- its a simple but fab idea for boxing day. I have a friend who refuses to celebrate her boxing day birthday. She pushes it to February.

that only works if everyone else is compliant.

Hi,
Can't believe I missed so much! I have caught bug after bug and somehow, dont ask how because I am a bit confused myself, i managed to hurt my hip and knee when they made a sickening crack which then set off my sciatica. My wheelchair has been my best friend lately lol.

Managed to get to B&M. They had so much I liked in there. For any who have moshi monster mad kids they had some nice sets.

Everyone bar mum has been bought for now, thank god for the internet. We have decided on a she will tell me what she wants and she will act surprised lol. For mum and dad's anniversary of all things they wanted a little deep fat fryer so us "kids"clubbed in. We are making their cards. Gonna get something nice to drink for them to celebrate and something non alcoholic for me and sis.

I am sitting here reading everyones posts, and thinking that it is only a year since I dipped my toe in this forum, and how much I have received from you all in support, sympathy, understanding, help, ideas and 'gossip'. I want to say a big thank you to you all, and send hugs all round.

Feeling festive. :xmassmile Christmas cake is in the oven, it smells amazing, I tasted a bit of the mixture though and it is SO boozy. Hope it calms down a bit after it's been baked and left for a month...

Feisty - what about one of your fabulous personalised makes? If your cousin loves the shop then I bet she'd also love something like that (assuming they haven't already got one of all your lovely makes of course )

Gettingtherequickly you must be pulling your hair out. Hope you get some more get up and go very soon (although not too much or the temptation to knock people's heads together might be too strong to resist lol).

Fevertotell, hope DS is feeling better soon. I think there's a lot of it about unfortunately.

Got everything done bar Morrisons. By the time I was ready to go there it was 5 and I couldn't face the Friday evening crush.

Got some funny looks and comments in Tesco. I had 24 bottles of wine and 8 bottles of whiskey in my trolly. None of it was for me. It was all for people at work. I still have 6 bottles of wine that I bought a couple of months ago.

Got another 30 tins of dog food, so I now have enough to see us through until the new year.

The books I got on a Grabbit in Argos are huge :eek: don't know why I thought the box would be small as it was £60 before the sale. I found a £5 voucher in my purse while queuing meaning it only cost me £10.
Ordered mine yesterday so they may still be some about.

Cleared out 3 cupboards, 2 are now housing dog food, one has Pringles and dips in it. Not sure if Mia can smell it but she does keep looking at it strangely.

Looking forward to a little lay in tomorrow. Even though I will still get up at 6 to let Mia out at least I won't have to rush round to get the walk in before work.

Am going now, I can here the bottle of Amaretto calling me. :rotfl:
