    I am currently of the opinion that keeping the items to give away as presents is fine, but selling them is 'bad juju'

    :T It's lovely to find someone who also recycles presents :D;). I've saved a fortune over the past few years with my so called present swapping :rotfl:. I 've already got most of my Christmas presents ready and wrapped in some beautiful Christmas wrapping complete with cards that I wombled ;):p.

    Is it cocktail hour yet?

    No wombles to report. DH is in hospital after his knee operation and it's half-term here, so feral kids are driving me wild already....
