Organised Christmas 2008.. The countdown has begun!

Not sure if this is the right place to post but OH is working away at the moment and we are expecting a larger pay packet this month so I want to put some money by on an Asda savings card. I was intending getting my shopping delivered near christmas this year to save a lot of hassle and I wondered if I could use this card to pay for it? Anyone any idea?

Not even looked on ebay, but i'm sure they are expensive, but all things Dr Who are expensive :mad:

I've just bought 2 x white fleece blankets to make Adipose with and a ball of black wool for doing the face.

Need to get the bits for the tardis cushions yet so not 100% sure what I will be using yet.

Will post pic's when they are done ( If I can figure out how to do it:o )

Thanks

I've spent about £230, which covers:
two parents
one OH
one sibling
one grandparent
four close girl friends
Christmas wine
Christmas wrapping paper
Christmas cards
six Christmas shoeboxes
all birthday presents for the above throughout the year

None of the gifts are in any way crap, they're just carefully shopped for.

I have just finished sorting through the toy boxes to clear them out for all the new shiny toys. But need to get them so new ones, now I've redone the bedroom does anyone know where you can get personalised ones?I've also just sorted through the wardrobes, what needs to be chucked out, and what can go to the car boot next weekend. Really really wanna kick on with our bedroom and the big cupboard in the boys room, but it just seems like too harder work!! Lol then I need to do the bills! What ever happened to spending your day off work doing fun things? Oh well I guess once its done then I can crack on with the shopping!

Hi
Studio cards do a lot of personalised ites, and if you go through Quidco you get 6% of ur order back. x

Hi everyone.. the clocks are ticking and for some of us the enthusiasm has just begun but for others it is wearing out now. I know I am exhausted, it is so hard to do when you have two toddlers crazying about!!

A big welcome to all the new people Please, make yourself at home and reveal your christmas tips and rants. We love all things christmassy here!!

TIP FOR THE DAY:
Get yourself some stamps now so they are to hand, to avoid the huge queues at your post office come the busy season!

I got them in B&M Bargin stores if that helps and they were £1.99 per blanket and I think they were 150cmx150cm

I got one in Ikea once so they might still do them, and I think it was around the same price, if that's easier for some.

I got my fleece blankets from primark for a bargainous 2 pounds.
