    siren - it looks fabby. Id love somethign like that for my christmas present.

    Brought two essential oils today - one apple one lemon and lime for my sister - hoping to put them in her papmer hamper with an oil burner.then shes gettign radox pampering bits and bobs (had a sneaky round her house the other day whils ti visited and she has tem all lined up so know she loves them) hopign to get her some nice choccies, nic eplonk, and a nice set of pjs and bed socks too - she'll love it. Might even get her some babysittign vouchers for her to redeem for me to have my oldest niece (youngest spends 4/7 days at her daddies) so only the eldest to get rid of and she has a nice quiet night.

    Mary43 - i know - my son aged 4 is already askign if we can have hot choccie tomorrow and Elf on!! Ive created a monster - we are goign to have soem craft days in the holidays too to get presents done etc.

    BF has had a revelation today too and has told me to start taking an extra £70 out of his wages this month to go towards Xmas. Should be good so we should have £520 by christmas but hoping to get more presents done, made and finished by then so hoping October we will be done. Then we jsut have the boys to get.
    Time to find me again

    siren, the candle is fabulous. I can't moan at the OH playing on his xbox. I am obsessed with one game that he has, and play on it when he is out.

    Bought this little chipboard book at the weekend...

    Going to give it as a Xmas pressie - thinking of using it for a mini scrapbook/ album.

    It was £3 which I thought was a great price and I should have paper I can use to cover the pages.

    This could be MSE friendly if you had lots of smaller bottles to give a selection of all 5 out??

    I thought a few people on here would like it ;) I bought it from a little craft shop in Olney, Bucks. The book is from the Wild Saffron range by K&Co (haven't got anything else but the range is beautiful).

    Have found a few online shops stocking it...

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270255631523

    It's on offer on this site...(but £3 p&p)...
    http://www.craftsuperstore.co.uk/Crafts/Scrapbook-Albums-and-Accessories/Mini-Scrapbooks/sc1208/p3596.aspx

    It's £3.25 on this site and p&p is cheaper...
    http://www.exquisitecrafts.co.uk/k--co---wild-saffron---raw-chipboard---mini-book--shapes-kit-2923-p.asp

    Not the same but this is a beautiful set with papers etc...
