Thought I'd start a thread about it to see if it would work! Sign up here if you'd be interested.

(Copied from my post on the other thread) The idea could be that we could choose a colour each like one of us will be orange, another red, another yellow, and even non rainbow colours like hot pink, black, brown, and shades like lime green and bottle green, then all buy a bulk of whichever item - socks, bodysuits, babygrows, muslins, vests... just plain white, inexpensive, simple ones then post them out 1 to everyone who wants to take part. There's a finite number of colours so we'd have to work out numbers but say we have 15 who want to take part, we could split that into 3 groups of 5 so like 3 red ladies, 3 blue, 3 green, 3 yellow, 3 purple, then of those 3, 1 who has like 15 pairs of socks, 1 has 15 bodysuits, 1 has 15 vests... Then we post out 14 items to everyone else and we all end up with 15 multicoloured items. Would that work? Places like supermarkets and Primark have packs of 3 or 5 plain white items cheap, I think I saw 3 packs in Tesco for like 3. The more who sign up the more colours or items we could have, if we get enough then there could be 2 smaller groups instead of 1 large one so we're not buying and posting 50 items!!

I quite fancy doing long sleeve bodysuits in orange. Grin

Sorry for the delay, those who haven't had their burgundy ones yet. Sadly, the second batch got rained on the other day and have had to be rewashed and dried! Should be on their way by the end of this week Blush

Unfortunately my camo is a bit light so it's not much darker than the other green!
