The Thrifty Gifty Girls 'n' Guys 2009 (Organised & Money Neutral for All Occasions)

I wanna take the kids to school in my PJs!!!! Havent got the guts to though & I'm sure my jeans are warmer.
My plan for today is to get a few more things on ebay (last lot before new year) & finish cards (making & writing).

Tomorrow I'm taking OH to get new shoes & a shirt to wear on christmas day (also to pick up dvd with The Sun), then getting all pressies out the roof to make sure nothings missed & to check what batteries are needed.

Thats as far as I've decided this week so better write a better list on tuesday as well.

Eeeeep, LO is unloading my iceland delivery for me, better go rescue it .........

:xmastree:Hello everyone :xmastree:

Well I would like to say a HUGE welcome to all of the newcomers and hope that you enjoy your money-neutralising-christmas-tastic stay with us :dance:

I am sorry I was away all yesterday but I had a temperature of 40.5 and I was pretty much out of it. I usually am so excited to get on here and check the thread (how sad am I?:rotfl:) But I just couldn't sit at a computer.

Fell to sleep texting my mom..:o

I have a load of my Journal Your Christmas work to catch up with but never fear it will be done and uploaded soon.. I hope!! Your journal looks stunning Jammy you really are clever and creative. I love the pocket idea. You have beautiful handwriting.. Mine is too scruffy!!

17 days until christmas. Well done everyone.. I think we made it! Kind of feels a bit weird having so much and so little to do if you get what I mean. There is always that last minute rush to get fresh veg etc (don't trust online delivery!) getting presents from the attic and christmas outfits all ready.

Bring it on!! I can't wait!!!

Totally off topic -but might cheer a few people up at CHRISTMAS (see the link there)

PJ's and Uggs is a definite scouse thing too (+permatan+blonde highlights+under 17) weird. My friends from Wales call them "Jam-uggs" - Jarmies and Uggs = a Jamugg!

A southern Irish radio station does a sketch with 2 trolls about how to talk like Northern Irish ones...very funny (HERE) but they do a song about PJ's....its very funny (slightly offensive language) ! HERE - their little voice crack me up and their laugh makes me laugh so much LOL! Anyway... Ireland must have this mad trend too!

I not only do the school run in my nightwear, I've also been to the drycleaners, the supermarket and even the pub! (Tho' I keep my coat on).

You are all mad!! I once came home from OH's in my PJ's as there was no way I was driving home in the morning in the dress I had worn the night before. My MIL basically called me chavscum but as we get along well I took it on the chin as I knew she was kidding and would have done the same lol!I prayed all the way home I didnt break down!

PLM - we missed you LOTS!!! Thanks for the kind comments as always. Mine are really 5-year-old-esque but thats the fun of scrapbooking

From observation up here it seems to be the fashion to take and pick up in PJs although you would need some UGG boots and a Hoody or a long knitted Cardy to be properly Fashionable
:rotfl:

Will be avoiding that film now Seeing as I cried at Home Alone last night

Well I haven't got any Uggs (or even the pretend ones!) and my wellies are very flowery and prob would cause more embarrassment!! I have a hoody on now (yes finally got dressed and more importantly washed!!) I didn't get out the car so it wasn't too bad!

Furrypig the amount of girls who I see walking around manchester city centre in pj's is unbelievable, a fashion trend I wont be taking up though. My mum is a primary school teacher and she says that loads of the mums take the kids to school in the pj's and they all call themselves the slummy mummys lol :rotfl:

Well I live in Surrey and I've never seen anyone in PJ's tho' I think I can relate to the term 'slummy mummy' and sadly not just when I'm sick or in PJ's!!!
