HA HA HA!!!

You lot do make me laugh! Is it a north south thing (not that I'm trying to create a north south divide or anything!) but several people have said they do it or know someone who does!?

Maybe loads of people do it here but I never notice!!

Well, I'm in Staffordshire, so I'm not North, but certainly North from you! And mine's usually a nightie, not 'jamas (nice big sensible long sleeve calf length - nothing sexy) - I don't care, DH calls me a 'Bobby Dazzler' , in my nightie, pink ballet slippers, winter hat, 'ladylike'coat 'n gloves, and chunters about the possibility of breaking down!!!

Woohoo - I finished my Christmas gift shopping today which coincides with the decorators finishing (till after Xmas anyway), so the rest of my week is about sorting the house out (DB & DSIL coming to celebrate Christmas with us this weekend) finishing the Christmas decs and wrapping the rest of the presents! Not much if you say it quick!

Ok...it's on its way! Christmas!! We've been scooting through lists like mad women for the last few months...and still have those few items left on our lists. So I challenge you all to name one thing on your list that you will do each day...if you do it, you can go on the Thrify Gifty Girls NICE list, if you don't.....


:eek::eek::eek:


:rotfl:Ok there isn't a prize except full satisfaction of having an organised Christmas (and the real possibility Santa won't come if you remain on the naughty list...full confessions expected ) Who wouldn't want to be on the nice list?!

OK...
My pledge: I will transfer all the games to the DS and wrap my Dad's present by 9pm tomorrow night

Who's with me?!



Ps - Yes I did watch Elf yesterday, yes I am crazy and yes I do think the candy cane forest exists
