  • Has anyone done 365 jokes in a jar? I can't find enough jokes.

    Thought this would be a quick, easy "extra" present & so far it's not. Although planning to cut them on the office gullotine one lunch break to save my fingers.
  • Here a few sites to help you out

    Hope some of those help x

    Maybe buy a cheap joke book to help out too!

    Just copying this in here too incase it was useful.

    I spent ages looking for this - never find anything when you want it. LOL

    I think this is so neat, I don't know if we (UK) have such things as those battery lights but I bought some of these for my kitchen
    http://www.jmldirect.com/LED-Spotlights-PL1805/ and wondered if they'd do the job?
    They're expensive but they are for 3. Sure you must be able to get cheaper versions.
    Sure most boys like bugs don't they? Ewwww.

    Ladies check out the christmas nodders too - mmmm where to get bedsprings LOL.

    bunbun - love your facts jar

    I think these would look lovely with sweets in - a daddy sized jar, mummy sized jar and kiddie jar!
