I was going to do a xmas eve basket but I have now decided to do a xmas eve treasure hunt instead. So the girls will have fun guessing the clue as to what the present may be and then finding out what the clue is to find the present. I have kept the clues simple such as ' we will keep your tootsies toastie...(open card).... you will find us under the mountain of stairs'. I hope they enjoy it anyway. The last present will be a boxset of dvd's which I am having evil thoughts of making them watch the whole lot hahahaha! But I won't do this even though they kept awake until 4am last year and I couldn't get the presents out

I quite enjoyed it really


Just remembered, our Asda were selling the pirate version of Matey for 85p a bottle, hopefully it's nationwide

Also just bought one of these - was the cheapest price I found, I know it's been mentioned before - http://www.play.com/Games/Wii/4-/15689043/We-Wish-You-A-Merry-Christmas/Product.html

I was going to try and find a blanket because he is always moaning i have a snuggy and he doesnt but they are just too expensive at the moment.

Everything is from freecycle, ebay, asda, poundland, charity shops.
I wanted novelty jumpers but settled for t shirts as the jumpers were way too expensive. (t shirts were £8.99 on ebay)

im putting it in a wrapped box ive already got.

Have i covered everything?

This is only £6 including delivery - might not be as warm as a Snuggie but perhaps he'd like it?
