I saw a lovely candystripe pair in primark today that were ruffly. Pin Up bargains, who doesn't love 'em. xx

how about some of their card-making/embossing supplies? Then get some corset peel off stickers like this 2 Sheets SILVER Fancy Bodice Corset Peel Off Stickers on eBay, also, Peel-Offs, Cardmaking Scrapbooking, Crafts (end time 13-Jan-09 17:03:40 GMT) and make fabulous cards that you can offer in the swaps thread!

You are an ungrateful so and so :duck:

Actually I can feel the vibes about your Gran eminating through my computer screen, I have a very similar relationship with one of my close relations

Thanks both these are great ideas. I'm going to investigate now.

Tempest there is issues where my nan is concerned, nevermind. This is partly the reason I'm determined to get something, so I can make a point of buying something lol.

She's the sort of person who says "do you want a watch for Christmas" me - "no, but I'd really like some craft stuff (etc)" nan nods head. Christmas day - me " oh! a Watch, how thoughtful" lol, every year this is how it goes. It's very irritating. lol. So my dad advised her to get us all vouchers for something, and we got argos lol. Actually reading this back it's made me laugh at just how rubbish my dad's mum actually is!

Yes, believe me, I totally get this

My 'special someone' buys me Ferreo Roche EVERY SINGLE YEAR and has done since the late 80s, knowing that I don't like them and laughs "hahaha I know you don't like them, it's my funny joke" and seriously thinks herself funny....mind you she was the same person who used to laugh along when my brother called be the big, disgusting blob and said he's only joking and couldn't see that this sort of comment might be hurtful....thanks Mum, doh, gave it away.....

Even when she does something sane or nice I get wound up by it just because of all our previous....aaaaanyway.....

Did you see I'd added some extra ideas on that previous post - I think it would be worth adding £7.49 to your Nan's voucher just so you could tell her you've bought a dalek costume with her money (and she can stick that in her pipe and smoke it)

Oh and there are 30 products between £10 and £14.99 at Argos in their arts and crafts range - here's a list of them http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Browse...3D+14.99|2.htm

These look interesting:

1000 Craft Shapes and 3d Foam Shapes £12.49

Gemsetter Stud Setting Machine £12.69

Metalic Embossing Powders and Marker Set £14.49

Acrylic Painting Box Set £14.69

Wooden Case Painting and Art Set (including acrylics, watercolours, oil pastels, brushes etc) £14.69

Large Table Easel £14.69

LOL, this is fantastic, the sad thing is I'd find an excuse to wear it. I really think someone should get one to burlesque up.

I'm currently perusing the craft items! December I'm starting to approve of Argos vouchers lol.

I'm quite enjoying the challenge lol.

xx

If none of that grabs you - I'm going to be the voice of reason.

Keep it. You don't need to spend it now. One of these days you might find yourself needing plates/a saucepan/shower curtain/ hair thingies (or something equally exciting or mundane) when your precious vital things have broken/packed in/handle fallen off, and it always happens a week before payday. Usually on a tuesday. You know the one.

*ta-daaa!* you have a convenient emergency argos voucher, no hustling with the bank-account-shuffle, or 'waiting until payday' (yawn). Precious vital thing replaced, for free.

You know it makes sense.

Miss.
Hoarder of 'vultures'.

Oh yes - and lie to your nan.

I'm sorry, I know I will go straight to hell for that suggestion.
