Apologies for typos in my messages - it is not me, it is my stupid iPhone autocorrect randomly translating messages into gobbledegook.

... or I really am poor at typing .

Some inspiration pretty please.

I have 6 glass coffee cups to wrap which came wrapped in bubble wrap but no decorative box
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00I0W1SN8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

So now I have to find a suitable way of wrapping them.
I did think of putting foil round a shoe box - the boxes I have are the flip lid ones so I need to get one with a normal lid. I am in town tomorrow though so fingers crossed clarks have one.

I did wonder about getting a tray to put them on but I am not sure of their taste, not sure if the melamine ones now are kitsch and in vogue or dire and tasteless. Or traditional wood but its a modern kitchen and I think she is going over to a stainless steel look.

Where I am tomorrow there is a limited number of shops - Home Bargains, B & M, Superdrug .... I also has a look at wilko and argos and I could find nothing that seemed suitable so it might have to be the foil box ...

Also I am at the stage now where I really have spent too much money and I need to reign it in a bit

TheWorks have lovely self build boxes £2/3

Many thanks

Not done many beer shops lately, DH has been drinking the sainte etienne lager from Aldi 89 p for 500ml says it tastes similar to Stella

going to Carlisle Asda today could not see any good comparisons just a few that are £1.25 in both A&T spitfire/hobgoblin/ Bishops finger will report back tonight ( if I ever get my self moving and get away:rotfl:)

Stella was Mr 3Dogs' go to drink and he was happy enough with Saint Etienne at home, very similar

Lovely jubbly, I had done the big packs plus brand match so 50p last time but free is even better

My main droid has finished but I added the hsbc card a week later so still have the hsbc envelopes for a week but unlike the main one with its envelope every purchase and 10 a day I find I don't get an envelope every time and don't know how many a day I should be doing?

Finally if any one has succes with a second account on the same phone please let us know, my phone doesn't have nfc so so far have used dws phone and account and would ideally like to use the same phone with my account once the current hsbc finishes.

Finally expirey dates - where are people seeing these as we only see "expires:" in the top right of each voucher?

I alternate between my two current accounts - one HSBC and the other Android - at the self scan and most times it is sufficient delay for them to open (not every time though ).
