Wow busy, busy, busy but well done on getting so much done :T I'm so happy that I've done nearly all my Xmas shopping so I don't have to wrestle my way through the crowds in December buying whatever I can find. We went to London yesterday on the train and blimey it was busy! We took the boys to Hamleys and then to the Natural History Museum and then had dinner in Chinatown. We didn't get back home until
midnight, we're all very tired today but had a lovely day

I need to find the boys' advent calendars today - haven't got a clue where I've put them...

Blimey - well done you on braving London this near Christmas!:eek: ! I remember going to Oxford St on a December Saturday when I was about 20, and the police were having to direct the pedestrian traffic north on one side and south on the other so there was no contraflow. We weren't even allowed to cross over til we got to the end! Insane!

Aww thank you very much! I love this forum , especially this thread and the wonderful people like you who are on here!!!

My mum even lets me make decisions on shopping and xmas present for people because she knows i will find decent brands but for half the price lol! She also knows she doesnt need to check up on me getting credit cards or catologe deals ect because i would not touch them with a 10ft barge pole!

I also have a great friend who is the best bargian finder i have ever met lol!
