guys i think we should have matches in our next row too. they do really cheap dresses at bargain prices HERE ...it will probably be worth buying something from here to get the extra couple of quid cashback. I think PLM will definitely fancy this bargain dress. In fact I'll buy us all one!
Woooo i'll have 6 of those jammy :rotfl:furrypig says:my name is Choccy and I am addicted to nose free stamps as I want to save them all and give them noses!!!:rotfl:
About me. Im Choccy or Chocolate orange depending on where i am.Yes occasionally i am a total looon who spends too long online,but no where near as much £ as her spendy elves do ..:D0 -
Jammy
i will try and do what I can, but may do debenhams again,possibly M & S, tesco, book people,ebay,argos might even do ethical superstore again as they were so efficient and quick to deliver. My list is prob nearly the the same as yours!
i'm not gonna do any tlephone ones and prob not any pc type ones. I will have a lok and see what I can try and find to buy that fits in! That's what I thought I was doing with saville row,can't believe mine didn't track, I did contact them but looks like choccy orange might be more lucky! Let's hope it tracks today. Then we will get a new card and someone is bound to do the book people I'm sure and remember there's a free p & p code somewhere!
I'm so sorry for you about Savil row.it is typical isnt it :rolleyes:
in happier news...we now have £15 to split and a new card is being searched for :T

Sorry I've found this thread a little late, but I'd love to join in the money neutral challenge for next year
I have already got boxes of left over Boots glitches (and an already made pamper hamper that hasn't got a home!) so I'll be well on my way already
Already do Ebay (but everything goes into house deposit fund with BF), Quidco (but that seems to have dropped off recently), Lightspeed and Pigsback. Oh, and look for discount vouchers every time I buy ANYTHING.
Next year I want to make more hand made gifts, so that is my pledge - a hand made gift to go with everything I buy to give.My debt free diary | Post Office loan: £2131 1429.38 | Barclaycard: £4429 1988.12 | Paypal Credit £322.71 574.91 | Monzo Flex £169.03 |
Total £4151.44 | £2900.30 of £7051.74 paid off since diary started October 2024.0 -
[STRIKE]Post all made cards[/STRIKE]
Write list of birthdays
[STRIKE]Check stash and[/STRIKE] up date list
Finish knitted jacket for friends baby grandson
List is v short now :A so will add some more.......
Change beds
Tidy bottom of airing cupboard
Find dining table (can only see the legs at the mo) :rotfl:
Clean kitchen windows
Find floor in spare room (without dumping it on the bed)
Sort presents to take to mum's
Pay credit cards
Gee what a boring list.
As well as doing my pledge today I made 2 birthday cards I'd forgotten and sorted out my Body Shop part empty boxes to use for next years hampers - how did I end up with so many of those body buffer scrunchie things - does anyone actually use them???
On the PJ topic - DD told me this morning that I didn't need to get dressed to take her to school but if I didn't I would get very cold and she wouldn't walk with me - was wearing my fetching bright blue dressing gown with big bears all over it - don't know what her problem was :rotfl: - I so love Primark nightwearOfficially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended

Jamtart I don't mean to sound ungrateful but white/off white/cream is really not my colour! If there is something in brown then I would really appreciate it ( live in brown) or alternatively sark green, maybe red very christmassy as I need something not pale as i have a very pale skintone!0 -

This one has potential.... firebox, body shop, asda, interflora, argos, book people, tesco ebay.... top line ...whaddya reckon? dont mind looking for more! I could do interflora, ebay as ordering from them anywayand possibly firebox and body shop if we need it - no mobile phones/watches/designer togs in sight! PS guys...please make sure you only buy if you are happy to! there is no pressure! im only searching for an easy card in case we do get a line it is easier for us, dont want any one to feel they have to spend!!!xxx
