I popped in with my son's new nursmaid, and bought some sweets, I didn't know which one was Mrs C so I didn't say 'hello' :oops:

But I love the knitted frogs :D

It's a weird, weird thought that any member of staff might have called a volunteer "AMAZING".

Hi there

I have not read of all of this thread but after numerous sock tie methods we have settled with elastic.

Hope that helps. :rolleyes:

Poppy - is elastic easier to tie than cotton?
Pinkhebe - which one did you choose out of the two listed?

Barnes A parents - any suggestions on where to get both house tops?
Anyone - approximate price on Cash labels?
Anyone - Any suggestions on where to get a good plain blue swimsuit for girls?
We didn't have time on entrants day to get to thrift shop. Were Cash labels sold there?
