    Best idea Di-dough.............you'd only feel 'twitchy' (or something like that) every time you saw it at your Mums.:j

  • Anybody who might be looking for some padding for the bottom of their hampers - Primark had cream towelling sets reduced to only £2. The set includes two bath towels, two hand towels and two face towels. Great for splitting between hampers.

    They also had some lovely soft and snuggly dressing gowns reduced from £12 to £4.

  • Hi, I got some Cadbury Dairy Milk miniatures (20 in a small box) in Poundland and re-wrapped them in red paper and wrote love hearts with messages (like love heart sweets) for my DH's valentine and have bought another box for MIL @ Mothers Day and I am going to re-wrap them with some mum sayings (nice of course :rolleyes: ). Also for Mothers Day & in Poundland picked up some Radox Heart Warming handwash (Chamomile & Red Berries) which will look lovely and it is raising funds for British Heart Foundation also a nice magnetic notepad which looks like a dress with jewels on (she's bought me loads of these things).
    FiFi :)
