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

RustyFlange

Morning Ladies,

Well after a complete disaster trying to sort out dvds/phones etc etc to send off which none happened. I am determined I will make an effort today. I am going to send off the phones and hope nothing goes wrong! as for the dvd's they will have to wait I am afraid, however I have been in the garage and sorted out a load of C**P and now have almost 1/3rd of the garage ready for a bootsale, I need to figure out where the bootsales are up here in the north east and also when they start.
I need to finish off my SIL's 18th birthday present but need to remember where I saw a pink car bucket! .... I have pretty much finished buying for easter, has cost me in the region of £30 rather than the £200 I spent last year on OH and the kids ... this £30 is for all of them which I am really proud of, however I need to find some bread baskets or a nice cheap basket with handle to finish it off ... I may just end up with some covered boxes and do it the MSE way.
We managed to get 3 tickets to see hotel for dogs on thursday this week (thankyou to the free cinema ticket thread) My son doesn't know yet ... Nana is babysitting for my daughter, and my partner, myself and my son will be off for a fun night out and will only cost fuel to the city centre and any nibbles we have, however *IF* I can find my card stash I want to make up a couple of popcorn cases and then I can take in my own snacks .... hidden in the depths of my mary poppins bag

Hope everyone is well and happy, and hope those on holiday are enjoying themselves

RainMac They are absolutely GORGEOUS I love them all. You have the neatest blanket stick I have ever EVER seen!! Please keep showing us your creations

Rusty and RainMac, I know this thread moves really fast but you really don't have to keep up with it or write replies to anyone. No one cares honestly. Just know that we are like a bunch of friends having a great laugh and sometimes a few good ideas get thrown in.. and we would really like you to be a part of that whenever you can. Even I sometimes get overwhelmed by the thread but it is ok If you ever feel confused about anything just let me know.. Organizedchristmas.com was like gobbledygook the first year I found it.

Rainmac I love basic grey too!! Did you manage to grab yourself some bargains from the Docrafts sale? I really want the Urban Prairie range but they don't have it reduced *sob*

RustyFlange WHoah there lady.. you say you haven't done anything then you are like superlady with your 'sorted' garage and your all ready to go carboot!! I am in awe! Your night with your son sounds so wonderful and what a brilliant idea. You really made me LOL with your Mary Poppins bag. I remember last time I went to the cinema and my husband had combats on.. by the time I had stuffed him full of snacks he was like the michelin man.

PLM - I am in love with all things Basic Grey (melissa75 helped me along with my obsession). I did do a docrafts sale order (that's where I got the chipboard album from for the dad book and some of the chipboard and papers) and have a few more things coming cos melissa placed another docrafts order last week and added a couple of bits for me

Good luck with your car boot sale. If I lived nearer, I'd come and give you a hand. I did one before DS2 was born and made £200. I was quite literally gobsmacked that I made so much dosh from stuff we had and didn't want/use anymore.
