    I think we all get orders like that. I bought a couple of blankets cheap off ebay, they were new with the tags so now I have at least 2 extras in stock and when I use one I replace it :)

    JTZ I use size 3 nappies, mainly because babies are not in size 1 or 2 for very long :)

    Candy love the cakes, leave the leaves on they really look great!

    Lovely cakes everyone:D

    I am away to make some sock bouquets for the first time. Can I ask how you stand them in the box? Do you just tie as a bouquet with some flowers or do you stick them in nappies?

    Went into town yesterday for some supplies...Dunelm - NO blankets, Poundland - NO J&J baby soap, Mothercare - NO bibs I wanted and NO toys anywhere at a decent price...........so a good days shopping - NOT :(

    Sound good Julie, I saw some little blanket and outfit sets in the wholesalers for about £5 but couldn't open them to get one out and feel the quality :rotfl: (dont want cheap feeling stuff!) so left them. The muslins are cheap :)

    I'm just waiting on OH to print off my flyers then got to drop them down to the local market cause there is a lady on there who will put them on her stall
