hi

I've been reading this thread (and the organised christmas and money neautral thread before they combined forces!) but didnt post as i couldnt work out how to register! :rotfl:
I'm 19 but want to start saving my money for a deposit and this seemed like the best thread. I've already worked out who im buying for this year and have bought 4 gifts in the sales already all for under a tenner and am hoping to get some more! And since reading this thread i've been inspired to start scrapbooking and make my own cards!

Hope this post isnt too long!

Hiya LouPenguin.. Welcome to MoneySavers and to our thread The post wasn't too long and we love people who ramble on here.. that's why they allow me to post

You will have to show us the things you have made, I would love to see! JamTart will be along soon to start us all off on becoming money neutral and you wouldn't believe that amount you can save from bargain hunting and internet deals. All of those saving equal deposit, right? LOL

Welcome xx

Hi,

Happy New Year to everyone!

I can officially start my thrifty living now! Next week when dds go back to school I shall be going round the sales searching for bargains, along with returning a few bits, tho I need to decide if they can be used for someone else during the year for birthdays. For all birthdays, of which I have a lot to buy for, they are all going to be £5 and under I've decided, or paid with points/cashback or vouchers.

Have been feeling very unwell since Xmas day afternoon and only really now on the mend. Some type of flu/chest infection, but managed to beat it without seeing doctor, tho had only just got over a chest infection about 10 days before.

Also had a NSD today, as was at MIL and didn't have to cook which was lovely, but then started to feel ill again so just sat quietly for the rest of day until we were ready to go home, can't e feeling to bad now as have nearly gone through a whole tube of maltesers!:rolleyes:

Hoping the new year is going to be better for us health wise!

PML-you cards are stunning :T :T :T :T :T
I like the sound of the Rudolf club, have got some bits sorted already:rolleyes: (bits for xmas that i don't want) that i have to decide whether to ebay them or hamper them :rotfl: and now i have to wait for my birthday to get lots of craft bits as the only money i am allowed to touch is the tips i got from work (£20!!!:eek: )the rest shall have to wait, lol:rotfl:

I shall be ready and waiting with my list of what i have done on the 25th of this month (although i may not have done a lot as my birthday is 4 days after so you know:o )

.................. oh yeah and i almost forgot.....................................
:beer: HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE:beer:

Hi all im new to this thread :T

I am thinking about saving a bit up each week, then at the end of the month buy a present for someone. I am currently on a course at the moment where i get 30 EMA weekly. So i was maybe thinking 3 pounds a week or something? My mum has already bought christmas presents for people ! And shes chuffed to bits with them. Shes got for about 4 of her neices out of 5. I am looking forward to this christmas coming, not sure why?! I think its because i know i will have cash in my back pocket ! Hope you all had a fab new year xxxxxxxxx

Morning Everyone

Thankyou for your kind words PLM, we are getting there honey, and I am so glad we were Organised or things could have turned out so much different this Chistmas as it was everything was organised so the kids had great fun and OH had time to sit and take a back seat for a few hours time out.

Also PLM your cards look wonderful... you are one super talented lady!!

Still very busy here, don't think I will get much organsing done this weekend have to go to the funeral Directors today with OH so I am not going to push myself.

I must say though I feel a bit deflated now it is all finished and the toys etc are put away, but I'm looking forward to having a great 2009 (I'm being positive for once )

Righto well my Coffee cup is Empty so It's time for me to go and fill it up....Hope everyone has a lovely day

Catch you all later

Sarah
