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

natzini

Morning all!
Gosh, there are a lot of Stone Sour fans on here! Me included. My boyfriend is a Corey Taylor nut, loves him to bits and I think if we have a son he'd be called Corey! Plus he wants the 'if the stars' bit of 'Through Glass' played at our wedding. That and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, 'Maps'. Not that we'll get married or have kids now, but yaknowwhatimean.

My pledge is to survive shopping in Brighton today and have a good time at the Wizard of Oz

I love singing Maps on Rock Band

Through Glass is the most amazing beautiful song, as soon as it came on the radio I had goosebumps. When we went to see them live he bought his guitar out and sung through glass accoustically with the stage blacked out then the lights came up and the rest joined in. It was so beautiful (because everyone started singing) that Corey started to cry and he said that was what he did it for. Aww I wubs Corey.

I'm on the nice list for today!

Also, wanted to draw your attention to two things:

First, if you have Facebook, get yourself over to the Freebies board, where there's a way to get a 2.50 Amazon voucher. I've just redeemed mine on a used book which cost me 58p in total. And it's hardcover.

Second, if anyone needs a free bus ticket from Liverpool to London on the 5th January I'm giving one away.

thanks for that sugarspun - done the same as jammy and got a fiver.

Jammy do you get free delivery for amazon even if you use vouchers/codes? (as long as the amount you are buying is over £5 I'm guessing)

Ive got my tree up :j:j cant wait to sit in front of the telly tonight with just the fairy lights on

Need to get myself over to the freebies section so that I can claim an amazon voucher, DS1 wants deal or no deal electronic version and thats the only place I can find it :mad: Got most of the pressies bought yesterday, just need 3-4 things for the kids, My mums cardigan and tops to buy, have done pot of gold for my Dad might add £20 to it as Ive no idea what to get him, anything he wants/needs he just goes and gets!! Brothers computer games, step dad im stuck on, might get him a t shirt or a book voucher or both...I dunno, ill ask my mum! Oh and my cousins little girl, getting her 'my first laptop' or whatever its called lol Then im done (i think) :T

My very first pledge ever is to plan/decide, locate and price up pressies left to get, and more wrapping (even if its just one thing) before I go to bed tonight.
