thanks everyone. As DS2 will soon be moving to his own place I am thinking some pegs a washing line t-towels etc. might even include a bottle of washing up liquid wit ha note that its really £20,000 if he does what the guy on the radio the other day did with the £1 he found on the floor.

Ferret in Home whatsit or on the market? Klippits, fuses, light bulbs, a tin opener or a bottle/can opener. A screwdriver if he does not have one. There are all sorts of random things that folks in their first home need but cost very little.

I never used to get birthday presents from my grandparents - and I can remember they used to spend about 50p on us at Xmas ... except one magnificent year. My granddad used to make rugs and one year I got a small rug. Bestest present ever - I wish I still had it, but my parents chucked it out without asking me when they moved.

A five pound note?

I just bought some fabric that should have been £32 a metre for £9 and re covered dining chairs for DD and then ordered more for window seats and used remnants for two bolster cushions and used a spare duvet for filling.

The bolsters probably cost a fiver and DD is delighted.

A few years ago I bought a hardback copy of Edwardian countrywomans diary for a pound from a charity shop and gave it to an older female relative. She not only loved it but kept for years.

I also made a small sampler which only cost a couple of pounds to make but she loved it.
