A Wagamama voucher for my 18-year-old nephew, who is at university in London. The thought of him enjoying an enormous bowl of delicious noodles when he is hungover and/or broke makes me feel happy.

I love my cousins gift the best - When snapfish were doing a free poster I googled images of different cars from a - z and then uploaded them to make a car A-Z poster - and it was free postage as I picked it up from the shop I also made some pretty crayons which I melted from old ones.

PatsyCline, what a great idea. I will do that for my student nephew.

I haven't eaten there in years, can anyone give me an idea of how much it would cost for a meal for two?

toomuchmonthatendofthemoney · 11/12/2008 22:26

grublin, where did you find such cheap digi photo frames? thinking of getting one for my folks but they all seem to be pretty expensive. ta muchly

PatsyCline · 12/12/2008 10:17

Hi,

I would say that for to feed two at Wagamamas you would need a £20 or £25 voucher for two mains and a drink each.

Too much month, I got them from Tesco direct, then shopped around for a cheap SD card.

I want get my Mum a hotel visit to Windsor, does anyone know any good family hotels for about £100?
Thanks

My dad used to live in Australia (before he met mum etc) and we were recently talking about an aboriginal artist he likes cos I'd got a book about it out of the library for DD.

Have managed to get him a lovely print of one of this guy's paintings for £22 (shipped over from co. in Oz within 8 days!) and frame from Wilkos for a tenner.

There's no way he will guess what he's getting so am feeling v. smug!

I too am loving e.bay got my DS1 and DS2 playmonbil stuff on there back in Sept for pretty much half price than they are in the shops.

But the one thing I am very chuffed about is buying for my 10 year old half-sister and I got her a mood-beam.
They are cute little cartoony light things that flash to music or have a heart beat or go through a whole colour range......
I got it from IWOOT.

UnfortunatelyMe · 13/12/2008 12:33

Egyptian Top Trumps - EBay DD1 will be well pleased

jammydodger · 13/12/2008 22:43

Oh I'm annoyed now - I bought a rainbow in my room for almost 30 quid online a few weeks ago and just seen here you can get them for a tenner. Grrrr!
