Just quick till later to let you know i picked boots up and all present and correct
Also picked some dove minis up in s/drug
Laters :wave:

Bubbs, where are you finding them please? I was in the Trafford Centre yesterday and asked -- was very hopeful as I thought she said 'they're in a bag' but she actually said 'they are in the back'!! She took me to where they had all the travel sized stuff but not the set of minis. I've also looked locally and when I ask they look at me as if I am asking for class A drugs! It would help to know if they are with the minis or with somewhere else. Thank you!

Brilliant idea :T

Not so brilliant sewing skills

Can't even sew a button on without ending up in a tangle !! Brain knows what to do, fingers don't :eek:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I used to be like that until lack of money made me learn. I've got better as I have gone along. If you can't find an alternative, perhaps a friend can help? These are both very low cost and easy to sew alternatives if the person concerned can sew.

Made these for my dad, cost me £1 each for the bottle carriers from Poundland, saved the gold string stuff from a Birthday prezzie wrapping. The Blind Pig ciders were free with cash back. He'll be well pleased with them

Those bottle carriers are lovely and you've made them look very attractive. Did you get them recently please?

Not quite as cheap as SD, but on HUKD yesterday they said that they are reduced from £6 to £1.50 at A's.

Thank you. I think it's the thrill of the chase in SD as much as anything else!! But will also look in A. Thank you.

Before they were next to the travel minis but today across the aisle, bottom shelf, there was 5 i took 3, then as i was walking down near the gift aisle they were there as well

Started on the wrapping... how the heck do you wrap a 2ft high wrought iron chicken??? It seemed like a good idea at thetime for my DiL (and it was RTC!).
