Ooooh!

Instead of working this afternoon I made a spreadsheet of the various gifts I've bought for people, and I'm more than halfway there!

I was in M&S during their silly sale, and I hit up the Boots website and halfcost for two big orders plus play.com for a couple of little bits.

Fantastic!!

Sarah You must be mad going out in this but I guess you nabbed the bargains for your bravery!! Soo err.. how much kinky stuff DID you buy We used to be all-out handcuffs here but now I am pushing the boat out if I order a film from the telly instead of buying a cheap DVD

Oh err...........LOL

I've not bought ANY .................YET :rotfl: but they did have the Furry Hand Cuffs in, along with Animal Thongs:p , Edible underwear and a mini weight set for the OH's um you know what......;)

Hi all, a lot of you sound soooo organised!! I have decided this year no to buy too many 'random' presents just because they are a bargain, as I just end up with stuff I don't know what to do with, or with giving something that I might not have 'chosen' for that person if I was thinking of them...

So my main thing is to concentrated on getting the funds in and buying stuff 'specifically' anyways, don't know if any of you would be interested, but I am planning on taking out a cash isa (had already decided) and as I am a m&S card holder, I have had a leaflet today offering my 2000 m&s points if I join their scheme...which looks pretty good anyways (although I have not looked into cash isas properly and as I am not investing loads I am happy with theirs)

the 2000 pts are then converted into £20 m&s vouchers that come with the quarterly mailing.....so thats another £20 into my fund :T

God such a bad week my dads been an !!!! again and has left, he lied to my face saying that we weren't replaced or he wasn't with another family which was a lie. He's said a bunch of really really hurtful stuff about my mum and the family. He's depressed and doesn't want to change, i've said i don't want anything to do with him until he gets his head straight, and i don't care how long it takes, i will be there when he gets better just not while he is getting better i won't put myself through so much heartache.:rolleyes: Still rant over, watching friends to cheer me up I made a list of all my friends and what i am planning to buy and do for their birthdays. Friday i'm getting the champagne bucket (£7, inc fake roses and a special invite) as we're being naughty and going to the cinema and pizza hut.
Having to sort out JSA again, but only for a while until september as if i don't get a decent job i will enrol at college for admin and then i can take that anywhere with me and so many job opportunities will be open to me.:D

Sorry your dad has been such a pillock, u certainly dont need that, I mean this in the nicest of ways you have got ur head screwed on the right way, and if I knew half at 17 as you do (or even at 30) I wouldnt be in the hlaf the mess that I got into.

What I meant to say was if your going to Pizza hut, go on their website and you can print off a half price voucher (off food) just make sure u take some ID in, as some of the Pizza Hut staff are sticklers.

You deserve a brilliant ngt out, what u going to c Friday? xx

JordanShannon - Just remember not everyone lets you down!Chin up luv!

Where is RoxyW, the phunkles and choccy orange these days? I bet furrypig has packed them in her suitcase!

I am defo off to home and bargain for some valentines treats! Me and Mr Jamtart6 made ANOTHER joint decision without killing each other, so he def deserves a Valentine cracker! We are getting good at this.

I dropped a plate on my foot and it hurt so bad I hopped around the kitchen and wanted to swear loudly and cry. I didn't though. I just hopped around with my mouth wide open and screaming silently. I actually thought it was broken, but no, just an awful bruise in the shape of the rim of a plate!!
