  • Well everything seems to be clicking into place now :j

    1 OH Birthday (10th): Limited Ed All Blacks shirt arrived from NZ this morn
    2 OH Birthday - PADI Diving books ordered today and should arrive by Friday
    3 going to Boots at shortly to buy cologne for OH Birthday and anything else on Xmas list to get extra points.

    4 Ugg boots should arrive next week for Mum
    5 Ordering GHD's for OS tomorrow via Quidco and have free next day del. Laptop cushion ordered for her online via PLAY.com
    6 As OH is offshore over Xmas, buying all xmas gifts in sale. Have list of items and shops at the ready. Will do comparison online before so as to get best deal.

    7 Dad's Lions rugby shirt will be pre-ordered tomorrow online
    8 LS's coat has been ordered through M&M via Nectar. Should arrive this week. Laptop cushion has been ordered online with free delivery from PLAY.com. Bag has arrived for her from OH.

    So just need to write cards and wrap gifts. Sending cards via office so won't have to pay postage:D
    OH's folks still abroad until Jan so getting their gifts in sales too so no rush there. OH's brother will be getting an iPod dock speaker thing from Tesco as it's reduced online and have a £2 off token for it.

    So I am all sorted I think....

    Looking forward to heading to the folks place for a fortnight. Will help Mum with food and organisation.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE this time of year!

    Catgirl I have been wondering the same thing. All my local supermarkets do the big white marshmellows but not the little ones.

    Can you believe that a month today it will all be over for another year?! It is going so quick. Oh how I wish it could be christmas everyday

    In our local Asda store the mini marshmellows are in with the cooking items, x
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx
  • I bought my little marshmallows from asda, the small ones should be in the baking section nearly the 100's and 1000's ;)
    furrypig says:my name is Choccy and I am addicted to nose free stamps as I want to save them all and give them noses!!!:rotfl:
    About me. Im Choccy or Chocolate orange depending on where i am.Yes occasionally i am a total looon who spends too long online,but no where near as much £ as her spendy elves do ..:D
  • I saw mini marshmallows in the baking section at tesco last night. Can't remember how much they were though.

    Good Luck:p
