    I'll join you at 11 Rach - despite my telling myself that I should stop refreshing, I got into the christmas hamper thread instead, and have decided to investigate making one of these for MIL so will try to get over to Matalan today to see if they have any baskets.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Marks and Spencers were cheapest for me (us when me and my "partner" lived together, was actually a friend but his girlfriend suggested we became partners to make it cheaper :rotfl:) dont know whether you can do cashback with quidco..... I have had excellent service and when i removed david (as he and his girlfirend had bought a house together and he moved out) i phoned up to remove him and they had to speak to him, so i gave them his mobile and before i had chance to put down the phone and call him to let him know they were going to call him (you still with me???) they had already phoned him and it was done!!! :T Marks and Spencers
  • No, I find I have enough to do with this flylady posting and the one on the web site. I am snowed under with both. I know, I know, I don't need to do more then one level, but I get over involved.
