    Hello BT1

    My suggestion if you havent already made the purchase, is to go along to Sainsburys at lunchtime. They regularly sell 25p birthday cards, & if you are feeling flush, can pick up a multi pack of fairly non offensive generic happy bday cards for about 99p with 8 or so inside. I use them all the time for kids bday cards.

    Ooooo thanks for this! Definitely remember this for next time :) didn't manage to get out at lunch today, so going to pop to asda and get the cheapest I can find as I need it for tomorrow. I feel cheap, but it's ok as they just get thrown away! (I hate cards!!!)
