has anybody seen any of those silver words, like they usually spread over tables at parties, or some people put in greeting cards, in 'Merry Christmas'?

I bet there's loads of places do them, but I can just imagine traipsing round all the likely places and only finding the usual 'Happy Birthday' ones :(

I'm not looking for suggestions, only definate sightings ta :)

I don't know of any shops but The Pier do some in the shape of christmas trees and holly. It's on their website:

Trouble is you'd have to pay postage.:mad: There is a Pier in Debenhams on the moor - suppose you could try there.

I think Hobbycraft sell it, and you should be able to get some in Birthdays, Clintons etc. I think i saw some in poundland too!

Well if you're on the Moor in stationery box it's very convenient! SB is on the bottom left side (as you're walking up the hill).

Edit - oops, you wanted words saying 'Merry Christmas' - just ignore me.

Thanks for that Kittenta :thumbsup:

I can shoot up there tomorrow if I think somebody can cope with being being left for 20 mins :suspect: I expect him to shred his vocal cords if he's left too long, and he blasts Brude's ear drums :(

I'll post photo's of the results just as soon as I catch up with the rest of Christmas ;)
