    aww thanks so much :blush:

    I am blatantly showing off a pic of my son I hope you don't think I am some kind of big head.

    I really like doing ironing as well you know. Perhaps I should start advertising it as a service!

    Must do some things on the list today :S

    Jamtart We will probably be having an "early Christmas" this year as OH is working Christmas eve, Christmas day and Boxing day, I dont drive so we wont be able to visit my family either so will just be me and my daughter for xmas day until OH gets home in the evening.

    We have done this in the past when my eldest son was in the army and we had xmas day on the weekend before he went back, opened all our presents and eveything. Felt just like the proper day anyway.

    As for getting on top of things I have made and written out all my xmas cards, and got most of the presents

    I cant believe tomorrow is friday and we will have to have a new list started!!!! I wont get my treat cos I still havent washed that blooming car!

    Can you believe 8 weeks today:eek: ! seems so close when you say it like that but seems so far away when you say its october. Get what I mean?:confused: I am really excited I aimed to have everything bought and sorted before the middle of November but I am sorted now. The only thing I have left to do is find BF a pressie/s for £10.

    I am not gonig to wrap the presents till December. This is my faavourite part, getting all the wrapping paper and ribons out, putting on a christmas DVD and some choccy:D heaven.

    I am feeling really christmassy today :santa2:. Cant wait for the 1st of December when I can put the christmas DVD's on and the music. I put them on in september last year so want to make it more special this year

    not sure if this is there right place to share - there is something on the grabbits but thought I'd let u guys know. I just bought some gifts on woolworths 3 for 2, using earlybird10 for 10% discount and going through quidco for further 8%. Only thing - I forgot to use me cashback card to get a further 5% off - d'oh! Still pleased with my bargain hunting as got it all for pretty much half price!
