Thanks i just had a look i just love seeing what other people makeI Love My Computer Because My Friends Live In It0

I made my first cake last night, just have to get ribbon to finish it. Thought it would be easy but how wrong was I lol I am sure it gets easier the more you make.
I am really struggling to get reasonably priced good quality toys though. I can't seem to get any under £5. I have tried Asda, Matalan, Boots, John Lewis and Clinton cards locally. I managed to pick up a few in the M&S sale but can't find anything else.
Any recomendations anyone....please? Is it accepatable to use TY's?
Thanks0 -
Irlrip, a lot of people use TY toys and I would love to if I could get them cheaply!
I tend to use tescos as they do very cute fluffy rabbit and teddy and blue and pink (£4). Also used a bear holding a blanket from Asda once which was very good.
But yeah, toys are the problemGreen and White Barmy Army!0 -
I've often seen TY toys in Home Bargains; approx 8" high (dogs and bears usually) for £3 or £4. Might be worth a look any time you're near.some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it0

There are some nice unisex organic ones online at the Disney Store sale at the mo. They're about £4 each. I just ordered a set of angel ones, but these are probably not useable from birth. HTH:ASave me from spending...

Pampers nappies are plain white, apart from the yellow band around the top - although that's hidden once rolled.
I still haven't been able to present my nappy cake gift yet as H's cousin's wife has gone overdue despite no-one thinking she would. So hopefully any day now.
Just found out my friend is expecting a girl, so that's another one to do in a few months time, along with another friend, but we don't know the flavour of that one.
Going to have to take apart the one I made for myself tomorrow before my LO outgrows everything I put in it LOL! I don't want to though!0 -
not all pampers are plain white. the baby dry has blue clouds on it. and the active fit has something else on. the new baby pampers are plain.love you lots like jelly tots0

Can I ask how you all manage to get your socks to stay in place once rolled up like flowers. Do you just push them in between the nappies?0
