    Just had my order from the glitter pot delivered - how late is the post?? Only the stupid postman folded that parcel in half to put it through the letterbox - how dare he!! I wouldn't have minded but I was in, so he could have knocked, thankfully they're not damaged!

    Hope it is of some interest to people.

    Bunbun- you couldn't leave anything outside my door - it would get nicked in seconds.

    Rusty - My Mum comes up to visit the kids in Liverpool about once a month, she lives in Hinckley, but last year we went to stay with her for a week and this is one of the day trips we went on, so I thought it would be nice for her to have a record of the day. I'm thinking of doing one of our trip to Twycross Zoo. Thanks for saying that its nice!!

    Oooh I used to live in Nuneaton ... I also love Twycross Zoo, Paul and I took the children there and we all had a fantastic time, Maddison was only tiny though.

    Are they all basic grey papers you have used? The writing is lovely aswell. Was it easy :rotfl:

    Sorry for so many questions :D
