    Think the freezer is ready for the chickens. Said you needed to put it on fast freeze for 3 hours before putting in any fresh food.

    Don't you mean lightweight. :rotfl:

    Have you not got a JL near you. You get a mince pie with your fizz and then waities has tastings of food and alchohol around the store. :cool:

    There is usually some sort of raffle and often a xmas choir to get you into the festive spirit. Quite an enjoyable event at ours not sure if all are the same ours is just a home store.

    That smells beautiful:smileyhea:smileyhea

    I love a hamper.:T

    I did 3 last week. Two chocolate ones and a normal food one. I got the baskets which weren't as big as I hoped, from one of the poundshops.

    The cellophane is still £1 for 10m in Lidl and I usually have lots of ribbons and bows lying around at home. I used bubble wrap in the base to create "steps" so everything was displayed nicely.
    We raised lots of pennies:)
    Love seeing hamper pics:)

    I actually had some money off vouchers come today 5 off £50:( but i cant remember how it works, think im loosing my marbles:rotfl: fairy is £7 each or 2 for £8 does it work on the £7 ?

    If you have Fairy on my picks it takes 20% off the full price of £7 each. Be careful though, the offer is finishing this week but I'm not sure which day. (My store has totally coc*** up their ordering system and won't be getting any in until Thursday - they are going to save me 4 packs and honour the multibuy price even though the offer will be finished as they have really messed me about).
