Hi - I may be being slightly dim, but where do I find where people add tips/ suggestions for making Christmas easier/ cheapier/ more organised - rather than just info on what people have achieved on their to-do lists etc...? It's great to read how well everyone's doing, but i'd also like to start thinking about ideas for myself but i'm new to this and easily lost on this site! Thanks guys - keep up the good work! Enjoy time relaxing

Sarah - check the SEPA website - I'm sure Ayr is fine as it's coastal. We're in the glens so we 'suffer' the weather a bit more!! Great new list by the way - I love it!

pinkladymel - thank you - great links - I'm going to read them in more detail tomorrow morning before I get started.

Had a brilliant day today with DD1 and her 3 friends - went to the Chinese buffet and then Sensation Science Centre in Dundee (using myTesco Vouchers it only cost me £1.75 to get 5 of us in!!) - they were all well behaved and had great fun. I'm having a well deserved glass of wine now though!

Love
Gill

Aww mum2one that is so sweet.. at least you know you still got it Your holiday sounds like a disaster and that hotel room made me feel really queasy.. Glad to see you have such a positive attitude though and you are enjoying yourself because of it.

Tigger888 Sounds like a good day out. I could do with a chinese buffet i'm starving lol. Im glad you had a nice day x I once exchanged all my points into vouchers and forgot about them... ARGH!

Kalojac I see you have a musical husband, what does he play? My other half drives me mental on his drums. I got him a silent kit and he somehow manages to still give me a headache! Looks like you got a few bargains there so well done

Jamtart What kind of jumper was it Naughty Naughty!! HAHA

Sarah I am laughing so much at the apron. He needs ones with pockets to hold your whipped cream and what not. The cream is to go on top of the coffee BTW. This is sounding worse by the second.. what kind of a holiday is it?! LOL
