Hi everyone. In my quest to christmas as cheaply-freely as possible this year, I've just been looking at my little girls' wheat bag. Any one any idea what i can actually put in a home made one (so I don't blow up the microwave!!!) If it's wheat, where can I buy that from??? the only wheat I get are in weetabix etc!!!

Hi all can i join too?Only just seen this thread didnt realise i wasn't the only one with this idea lol!

I bought alot of wrap paper and gifts in the sale at Boots and pastimes.

Hubby and i have joined lots of cashback sites and survey sites (only trouble is we are fighting to get on computer!) and i've joined mysearchfunds and already made £4.00 in 4 days from that. Have 40p short of a tenner in pigsback and made £50from ebaying this week. Am opening a post office account just for the xmas fund so it doesn't get spent!

Try a health food shop for wheat? Have seen some with dried lavender in as well. Ummm, maybe there's instructions somewhere online?

As a ps to my YouGov post above, cheque arrived yesterday, so that's about three weeks from when I reached the £50.

Thanks redsquirrel, that sounds perfect, My DDs wheat bag smells lavendary, just gotta search for instructions-how hard can it be(bearing in mind I've never been arty or good good at sewing etc-I'll have a bash though!!!)

Goodness...2lb! I can't even imagine that - I think 5lb is little!
