    I've got something similar to the Red Twizzlers (I think) for Ryan's Honeydukes Hamper that I've made him for Xmas (various little bags of sweets, re-labelled with the Honeydukes logo and given a magical name....all in a cardboard box, stamped 'by owl post'....lol). They're gorgeous. Wish i could remember where I got them now!

    Yay! Its Friday! Working at home this morning in relative luxury as new boiler plumbed in yesterday, even though I hope to move in 2008 I just couldn't cope with no heating and lukewarm water anymore after 6 months! Tonight I have date!!!!

    End of cold showers = date... Coincidence? I think not...
    All is well in the world of GG today! Oh except after 24 hours of heating I now have a cold :confused:

    Date stress...






    Good luck and enjoy... ;)

    Just all the stuff she bought as presents for me and asked for back (conveniently forgetting the gentlemans rule that you never ask for gifts back)

    Ironically, it annoys me when ex's give me my presents back. My attitude is that I bought them in good faith, and if they hate them, they should dispose of them - not return them.

    Of course they know it annoys me, which is probably why they do it... :rolleyes:
