    Xmas Saver!
    Hello, I guess most people know me, I seem to be spending half my life on MSE, I love bargains, getting orgainised, I have all the birthday presents (bar mum,dad+ dd), done.

    Xmas is coming along well.

    I'm the one who is addicted to Halfcost, its brilliant and for anyone who does go on, in the discount box, enter FF15 and it takes 10% off the total.

    As my daughter would say I kick off for England, I have been known to complain!!

    My friends call me a legal scam artist, if its legal I'll do it!!.

    I might as well blow my own trumpet, I have a famous daughter, 2 yrs ago she was the famous Miss Hoodie, (she was famous in every national paper, even as far as Southern Ireland, ITN News at 10,national Radio)
    and more recently she helped save my mums life when she had a mini stroke. (our local paper and she made 3 lines in the Sunday Mirror).


    As for the thread splitting, its just as it originally started, and once we all get use to it, in a weeks time everybody will be back to normal.

    To me -
    This thread, apart from organised xmas, celebrations, hints and tips, bargain suggestions, making and creating being that cards, presents, gifts etc..... and a good chat

    Jammys thread- How to make the money, how to be neutral, how to find those hidden loopholes, how to help each other, how to get points, running totalsetc and a good chat.

    Over the time when it was single threads and then all in one I have made some very good virtual friends, and I have shared my troubles recieved great support and wouldnt be without you all on here.

    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx
  • Well said mum2one i agree. And little miss hoodie is so cute, the pics of her and her grandmother are stunning :D
    ..xx
    I am only me, no pretences, no second guesses.. It's the best I can do, I'm sorry if that's not good enough for you... I'm sorry I'm not good enough for you :A
  • aww *i hope you don't mind mum2one i googled the story* your daughter is a wee star - you must be so proud!

    MUM2ONE: why was Miss Hoodie famous before her current moment in the limelight?

    To all you mum2b's: this is how I ended up being an organised person at Christmas, there are only 17months between my eldest 2, and untidy daughter was due in November and there was no way I was going to be traipsing round shops with a toddler and a newborn and i didn't drive at the time so I was all bought and wrapped by the October. The following year we were moving house mid December, again all bought and wrapped by October (could drive by then!) and then I just got into the habit of buying in the sales in January.

    I agree that the first year ,to break the habit of spending all your money in December and having nothing left for January is hard but once you start it.....there is no other way!

    I do like the sensation of smugness I feel as I watch other people run around like dafties trying to cram it all in the last week before Christmas.....sad but true!

    Anyway, the sun is shining here today, off to work in an hour, hope you all have a lovely day and will catch up later, Mx

    Morning all, a new thread & new people woohoo :hello:
    Not much to report here, cept I've realised its not the day I have to be organised for on peoples b'days, its the day OH is off closest to their b'days, so today I need to get my MILs "relaxing bath" hamper put together rather than later in the week.

    Morning Ladies, I havent been on much all weekend just to read a few posts Saturday then noticed this morning that we have 2 new lovely threads.

    I will be on both as I like to keep my list for the year and be organised, plus I love a bargain. I also like to make money for nothing to fund my bargains so that will fit nicely on the other thread too.

    Mel .. Are you keeping the name as organised for all occasions? I find this better than just for Christmas as it makes me more organised all year round. I suppose I can still add on the things I make as well as bargains I buy as I have been making more presents this year to save money.

    Well off to start on another jumper for Christmas. Catch you all later xx
