Thanks for posting that link - I have never seen these before but what a fab idea! There is so liitle space in my bedroom that I can't have a bedside table, this will provide somewhere to put all those odds and ends that I always end up tucking under the edge of the bed!

I am going to make mine like a runner to go across the width of the bed under the mattress for my bed so DH and I have 1 each too hopefully then it will stay put

Nothing worked with me lol ... I was sick from day 1 ... literally I went to the doctors thinking I had a nasty virus ... only problem was I had been ill for 9 days constantly and I was 9 days pregnant :eek: what a lovely virus that was ... daughter I was sick for first 2-3 months

Hi poohzee, I felt sick all day with DS2 (don't believe all this stuff about only really sick with girls, it's not true!) and nibbled ginger nut biscuits in the morning and sucked polos all day. Both helped. What a great balanced diet :rotfl:

Hi Dora, looking forward to seeing your pics, sorry can't help with the soap making - have you tried the OS board? People on there may have done it.

Snap, I did 3 home pregnancy tests in the space of a couple of weeks, all negative but knew I was pregnant as was so sick!

Rainmac, I did 3 with my daughter ... all said negative, then went to the doctors (this was with my daughter) as I was pretty sure I felt pregnant and it was positive ... not sure why the other showed yo negative cause one was only 3 days before the docs and I was 6 weeks gone! :eek:

I have only joined up today but stayed up till 3 in the morning yesterday reading this thread I'm hocked. My boyf is always on this site trying to save us money (I usually whyne at him to get off the computer and do some housework :rotfl:) and now I'm addicted. Cause what he didn't tell me was that I could find handy tips for the garden, amazing craft ideas and so much more.... I love it :T

As far as crafts for christmas I've bought a paint your own baubles set (got it cheap in the sales after last christmas) , also I have some teracotta flower pots with plaster of paris moulds to pain and make all festiuve (Very cheap in sainsburys current garden wear sale)..... I'm so excited I may have to go make something right now....:A
