I just have to make the chocolates and then I'm done for the day. Birthday stuff is done, remaining Christmas gifts are wrapped, bedroom is clean, just the chocolates and I can't do that while my mother's making dinner.Organised Birthdays and Christmas: Spend So Far: £193.75; Saved from RRP £963.76
