Today will be the day I start on a trial-run sock monkey. I've only been saying that to myself for a week now but there you go :rotfl:

But I've comitted myself as I've asked if I can borrow my Mum's sewing mchine tonight. Bring it on!!

Oooo and i might make a few more origami stars for the christmas tree deccies (alternatives to baubles for us this year)

Primark also sell big boxes of wooden coat hangers. They're usually by the tills.

Primark's are £5 , can't remember if 20 or 25 in box

I saw a great idea at the weekend, a sharpened pencil with a rubber on the end with a label wrapped around it saying
"Emergency computer back up system" with an arrow to the pencil tip saying "Insert" and an arrow to the rubber saying "delete"

Made me laugh as a luddite pressie

Today in B&M I saw a packet of 10 gingerbread men for 99p, best before feb next year. They were plain buiscuits- ie- no eyes etc but that wouldn't be difficult to do yourself. Each about 5" tall.

Alternatively, I have bought a box of 3 decorated gingerbread men each already sealed in a cello bag with a bow. 79p for the pack. All I need to do is add the printed 'Perfect Man' label.
