    Just great.........now ive spent another £50 on sanctuary stuff i didn't need!
    This is the trouble with being organised for Christmas. I'd finished my shopping weeks ago and now everyone has got a little Yankee gift as can extra and now a sanctuary gift too at the extra cost of one hundred quid! Ah well it will be worth it when they're being opened I suppose :rotfl:

    That's one way of looking at it Di lol

    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:)

    Glad you did well with your hampers :) We made lots of pennies with our draw as well :) The hamper pic is a bit rubbish but these are the draw prizes and cakes we sold. The last pic is the dog and cat hampers we are auctioning off on Friday which will hopefully bring in a few more pennies :D

    Can I ask 3dogs who these lads are you often mention . Are they your children ?

    In case 3Dogs is out driving, I can answer part of your question. They are not her children but are really good friends of hers. I am lucky to have met her and one of the boys. Truly lovely people. :A
    I'm sure she will answer more fully when she comes back.

    That bath full of ice has now moved to hover over you ........

    OK OK OK

    Update - I am now showered, hair washed and dried...











    .... and back in dressing gown drinking tea again... :rotfl:

    But I have caught a flamedeer, so there is productivity, of sorts...
