Mrs Fibble you are a very clever lady!! Didn't you send us an aloe vera plant too? It's come in very useful - DS ended up with a slight burn on is cheek from a spark from the yule log - which is healing nicely thanks to the aloe!
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

yes I am the one you got an aloe from.... it's why you ended up with a slug! I thought "I can't possibly send them another aloe".... so I didn't.

It was me...and i#m glad you've said that there were some soaps in there - i had a bit of worry as i handed the parcel over at the post office that i'd forgotten to put the soaps in...

The white one is a chocolate orange salt scrubby soap, and the other one (a pink heart?!) is strawberry blancange soap.
I had my suspicions. Something to do with the heart made me think that perhaps you had mentioned making them at some point. Anyway, I am using the orange one at the moment and it's lovely. Thank you so much.

I've also used the herby shampoo that you sent me before christmas. It does seem to get rid of the build up of gunk that I always get on my hair from all the various products that I use. I did condition my hair well afterwards and it seems fine so far. I've only used it once so I'll let you know how I get on with it after a few washes.

Cheers
Zoe

thanks smile_sunshine, the wind chime has pride of place above my patio doors in the livingroom as it goes really well with out curtains, and the bag is currently in my car- it's just the right size for 2 nappies, a bottle and a packet of wipes... my usual going-out-survival pack lol!

All of them, not just the secret Santa one. I suppose, anticipation is better than the present itself - or that's what I think?! :?

Anyway, I got a wonderful scarf - just my colours - a light indoors one rather than heavy duty outdoors (I'm more likely to wear one in the house in any case!), and some wonderful smelling and decidedly homemade looking soap! Thank you very much, Santa!
T'was me! I liked the scarf too, so got DH to get me one for Christmas. The mint soap worked better than the chocolate one, which I hoped would smell more chocolatey. Hope you like using them. Now, who made my lovely bookmark then? It is so neatly done!

I know! I don't mind, things happen, and it just prolongs the festive fun. Didn't mean to sound like I was complaining, sorry. :flower:
