    Maria I was going to spend my £60 rebate on new jumpers and it went on a stairgate, pizza hut lunch and dd's shoes and bag lol. At least I got stuff we needed (apart from lunch)

    There's always next time for me. I am going to buy myself something off amazon this week to console myself (with my vouchers)

    Yeah i really need a warm jumper. I have £20 Debenhams vouchers, so hopefully wont need to spend too much cash and the shoes or boots i will look in New Look for as they always have nice boots at cheap prcies! :)

    Nope I got it from Mothercare and paid £19.99 lol. But we have to have a wide one as our stairs are wider than the standard pressure fit ones typically. I bought one before from mothercare for the top of the stairs and it was good so bought another the same for the bottom.

    Good job too as tonight the little minx almost climbed to the top to see what her sister and cousins were doing. And our stairs go up then turn around if you know what I mean. OH thought she was with me and I thought she was with him. We all had a heart attack when I walked past to see her head bobbing through the bainister merrily climbing up lol.

    Yeah New Look had some nice boots in today when I went in. I did spend £20 as well today in Boots but used vouchers and got xmas presies so feel better about that.

    Awh! How old is she YB? £19.99 is a good price.

    I was thinking about having a look when i go to town for any possible xmas presents too. I have 3 family members with birthdays before xmas to buy for too! Its my nephews birthday 21st Dec he will be 1! and i havent a clue what to buy for him as he has all my other nephew (age 4) toys. So he has everything already! Then he will need a xmas pressie too. I suppose a one year old isnt really bothered and would be happy with just the wrapping paper to play with! lol :)

    A 1 year old would be very happy with the wrapping paper lol. DD2 is 15 months and she's a little minx lol, but a beautiful little minx.
    You could get him a dvd? cbeebies? or like Dawn said clothes.
