Emma Bunton on Spice Girls reunion

EMMA BUNTON has dropped heavy hints that the Spice Girls are on their way back.

She has revealed that members of the 90s girl-power group met recently to discuss their next move.

"I saw all the girls, apart from Mel B, just before Christmas," Bunton told Fabulous magazine.

"We are always creative when we get together and come up with ideas."

But she's keeping exactly what those ideas are close to her chest.

"We're not at a point where we can say what," said Baby Spice.

Various rumours are doing the rounds as what the project will be, from performing live at this summer's World Cup, to writing a musical based on the group's extraordinary rise to fame and fortune.

Christmas shopping? Don’t forget toy appeal

ONE WEEK in to the appeal and still five weeks to go before Christmas.

Not many of you have probably started your shopping yet, but lots of you may have written your shopping lists in readiness.

This year you could always add another gift to that list – for a vulnerable or disadvantaged child in your local area – a deed that would really help to make their Christmas extra special.

It doesn’t even have to make a noticeable dent in your pocket with so many shops and stores offering good deals this year.

Organisations and businesses may also like to help by donating gifts, having an internal whip round or just by bringing the appeal to the attention of staff.

You may just want to donate unused and unwanted toys that could bring tremendous joy to under-privileged children during this festive season.
