    Evening All

    Back home. And i got some brill bargains, im so chuffed.

    I bought 4 pashminas (one for my mum, step sister, step mum and best friend) for £10 (£2.50 each!!). I then went to Boots just to get the christmas catalogue thing (which incidentally they didnt have!) and I checked how many points I had. I had £16 worth so i bought 3 pressies for £8 each and got the 3rd free (well technically all free lol).

    I am doing really well christmas shopping now. Im dead chuffed.

    And i managed to by pass the chip shop and will be having something warm from my freezer.

    Plus my dad is home alone this weekend so i offered to go to the football with him on Sunday, and he sounded really happy so thats where I will be on Sunday. not that i like football but nevermind! :p

    Now off for a bath and to do my dinner.

    :D

    Well done Amy, sounds like you had a great shop. You seem to have Christmas sorted, i wish i was as organised as you.

    Another well done for avoiding the chip shop, the smell of fish and chips just makes me want it, luckily i don't live near by one, otherwise i'd always be eating chips.

    Footie sounds good for Sunday Amy.

    Thanks guys. I only have a few more pressies to get, and then my nephew and step mums birthday ones (16 and 24 December :rolleyes:).

    I think I may treat myself on Saturday to some chips. I am having a fish pie for dinner. So half right! lol

    Right im off to get some rest, non-stop all day today!

    I am also going to sort some stuff out for ebay tomorrow. Need a final push i think.

    night all.
