    Thanks Mum20ne, it has been an awful year. Lets hope for better for next hey?

    Nearly finished my wrapping, just got OHs and a couple of Pips. Need to go to town tomorrow eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek as realised I am missing a couple of pressies still. Just ordered OH an extra present of a tour for 2 of Silverstone. He is a huge F1 fan and the tours were on BOGOF £30, means I will have to go with him but be worth it to see him happy. Got it from the same place I got the brewery tours for my uncle and Dad, they were only £10 for 2 people so got them one each so they can take my Auntie and Mum, maybe book a hotel room and make a mini weekend of it???

    Anyhoooo I am pooped so night all x x

    Hi Everyone

    Are you all ready for the big fat man?
    My wrapping is all done, got friends coming round tomorrow for Festive nibbles and drinkies and it means I can get rid of everyones presents in one go without even leaving my door!

    I am planning on doing Flylady next year, anyone else do it??

    I have set some money aside for Sales, planning on getting all my Birthday presents for the year again and saving a few squids in the process.

    Pip is 2 on 9th Jan, how did that happen???? Going to do a Mickey Mouse party for him, just some snacks and a cake, friends and family.

    Very worried as I have my Next Sale online slot booked for Thursday. I get most of Pips clothes whilst in the sale as I really like Next for kiddos. I had a look at the preview and there were a couple of work tops I might try and have and also a few tops for OH. Will keep you posted!

    Have a good night all x x

    Ha ha ha ha! We are having a MICKEY Mouse party! LOL! You are welcome for the card x x

    Well I spent £110 in Next sale but to be honest I am quite sure most of it will be going back. Most boys 2-3 size had gone although I did get a few bits for Pip. I ordered a couple of nice bits in 1.2 - 2 so will see if they have room in, if not they will go back. Ordered a few tops for OH but again cant imagine he will want to kepp them all. I ordered 2 tops for work for me. Got a cute little set for my friends baby.....when its born! Figured I would buy a gift anyway so may as well save some squids on it!Also got 4 Birthday presents.

    Wrapping final couple of pressies and enjoying a glass of vino, then going to make some cinnamon rolls like these http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2007/06/cinammon_rolls_/ mase them ladt year and they were Deeeeelish!

    Have a good evening x x x

    Pheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew sales................................DONE!

    Got Birthday presents for most family and friends for rest of year, just an odd couple to buy for. Got a good haul in M&S all less than half price most £7 down to £1.50!!!! Spent £62 in Boots but got Mothers Day presents and a tonne of Birthday presents. Also got next years cards, special cards and also 10 rolls of wrap for £1!!! Going to wrap them all up shortly and then pop them under the bed, ready to rock and roll and laugh at how much time and money I have saved.

    Christmas was a bit stressy for us, Aidans terrible twos reared their ugly head and we had several full on paddys especially when it come to sleeping. Of course it was the first Christmas without my Grandad so everyone was feeling that too. All in all I am quite glad its over!

    How about you all?
