Christmas 16 mega index/christmas chat!!!

Hello every one sorry to hear about the poo incident crazy-cat-lady, I hope you managed to get it sorted!

I have started xmas shopping in earnest now, have a list from DD and have started buying bits off it and a few bits for DS (he's only 20months so no list from him). Used up an amazon voucher yesterday for a cupcake surprise doll, fairy garden, thomas train and a DVD of A Muppet Christmas carol for our Christmas Eve box.

I'm starting to get very excited and may have bought myself an xmas magazine haha. Lots of beautiful decor ideas in there that are tempting my to buy new decorations!

I got a 'uniform' love to shop voucher from work for £30 last week but as I am leaving at the end of October I'm going to use it for presents I think. It can be used at Boots and I also have about £25 worth of point for there too so I will take advantage of the 3for2 offer. They've already got the Christmas stock out.

Also planning our December activities. Hoping to go to Chatsworth to visit Father Christmas and the Country Living Christmas Fair in Harrogate if I can persuade DH!!

Merry Christmas everybody!

Mince pies in Sains$buries yesterday :0

I don't normally go in wh smiths as I buy all my books second hand but have just discovered the one in town has a really large sale section at the back with books going to as little as 25p as well as a few gift items so i've managed to pick up a few bargains

Have been stockpiling gifts for a while now. Have been taking advantage of a recent '2 for £20' offer on spirits in MrT (Along with a lot of £3 off a £20 spend vouchers) to get things like gin, vodka and whiskey for my harder drinking friends and relatives.

Bought all my young nieces and nephews presents in a mixture of primark, home bargains and Poundland-managed to get loads and loads of gifts and spent less than £7 on each of them but I think they will really like the gifts. Poundland is selling what looks like a cheaper version of Monster High dolls called 'Gothic Dolls'-very similar designs, hopefully my monster high obsessed nieces will be none the wiser, or at least like the dolls on their own terms.

Am stockpiling amazon and supermarket vouchers in preparation for Christmas, hoping for an almost cost free Christmas.

I confess. Replacement tin being bought today. It was very needed yesterday. On top of a poorly and very (non stop) crying one month old, I had a horrid day yesterday. The cats used the upstairs littler tray but when burying the poo accidentally kicked it out of the box. The little robot Hoover, roomba, went in to that room while doing his rounds. Ran over the poo, got it stuck in his wheels and brushes and dragged and spread it everywhere.
Went upstairs and saw it all. Could have cried.
Cracked open a tub of chocs last night. And very nearly the wine too.

You poor thing, you should be spending time with your baby! On the bright side, by the time Christmas comes your little one will be reacting to lights and smiling and gurgling like a good 'un
