I certainly will get going this afternoon. It is going to be in PINK!! ...if I have the right colour pink to get the desired effect. I feel I might have to go paper shopping, what a shame!

Also need to make some xmas cards for work colleagues today!

Just been looking at a friends gift list and was hoping to buy the towel bales so that I could make a wedding cake with them, was all chuffed as the set of hand towels and bath towels came to £25 which was what I was going to spend. Then realised that was the price for ONE hand towel andONE bath towel!! eek! Good old John Lewis hey...

Can't you just tick them off and then buy them from somewhere else Geesh these lists are crazy! Don't they know it's christmas!!

Oh, I would love to see snow here. Keeping fingers crossed.

This weekend is DIY weekend - we're finishing the living room, so it will be all ready for the holiday decorations and Christmas tree! It'll be a lot of work, but I'm really looking forward to it.

There is nothing like hard work to make you appreciate the lie down in the glow of a tree Hope it all goes to plan Gill x

I was really excited for snow but I checked bbc.co.uk/weather and it says we are going to have some FREEZING days but mostly rain and some sunshine on wednesday.!!

Hiya!

i didn't even manage to put up alist of things to do this week yet alone do any of them!! having said that got several things done wrapped 6 pressies and given them out gave out another 10 or so cards to a friend to give out to family and friends she will see and I won't (saved lots on postage there!)

Pinkladymel and Jamtart 6 I have been studying our card and trying to work out if I could get a line but I know I'm not going to buy from any of the phone companies, I've done play.com and debenhams might do M & S (tho was silly and missed 20% off day!) I'm looking every day to try and find something I need or want to buy!! I've done ebay today but isn't tracking so far not sure what's going on with quidco!!
