Just a little(ish) note about the forthcoming Rudolph :rudolf: day:

We have a lot of lovely new people with us (HIYA!) so if you have no idea what I am talking about, check out the link in the first post of this thread to the 'Rudolph Club Day' to see what it is all about

Here are some things that people may want to work on to show off next Rudolph :rudolf: day:

+ I last set a challenge to create something beautiful for mothers day or just to make someones day.:iloveyou: Show us your pictures and let us see what you made and how you spent the day.

+ If you are a lurker or an old timer feeling swamped.. don't worry about posting.. but PLEASEEE, I beg, Will you post on Rudolph :rudolf: day? We don't want a post addressed to anyone, just a post from you sharing our festivities!:santa2:

+ If you are busy making gifts and cards for christmas, if you have recentely sorted out your gift cupboard.. take some pics and share them with us. Pictures really bring out the spirit of christmas in all of us
:xmassign::xmastree: :snow_grin :xmassmile :snow_laug :santa2: :rudolf: :snow_laug :xmassmile :snow_grin :xmastree::xmassign:

+ How are your savings tins coming along? :shhh: Do you have any tips for sites you have found or just general ways to save money? Store them up and write them down ready for our special day x

All that is left to say is DODGY HUGS ALL ROUND!!:grouphug:

see you on the 25th x

Rusty - glad you love the bags - it is age 4-7 so it should be big .

The pics made me grin just like DD now when she's forced to wear pink or a dress or anything other then PJs really :rotfl:.

I haven't spoke to you for ages Sarah.. I miss you!! Wish you was coming to the NEC with us. I suppose the housework is exercise and the more you do the more energy you have to do more.. It is just getting the cycle started and not stopping.

I know this is really early but can I just forewarn everyone that we put the clocks FORWARD the last sunday of the month. I will re-remind you on Rudolph Club Day

I have been so swamped with everything going on lately I just don't seem to have 5 mins.

Back with a vengence though today Hope I burn loads of calories then if its good excersise, lost count how many times I've been up and down the stairs today.

I WISH I WAS COMING TO NEC TOOOOOOOOO :mad: :mad: :mad: Just can't do Fridays BOO HOO I'm soooooooooooooo Jeaslous of you all meeting up. I'm going off to cry into my coffee now....

Well another Quick update...

Just finished cooking Tea (Curry for us tonight) so thats ready to heat up later

Have put another load of washing away, and put the kids school coats on to wash.

Right I'm off to do another coffee and finishs making the dinner

Scattymam - that is really beautiful, love the flowers on the jar, really pretty

Rusty - the sock monsters are so cool! And your daughter looks absolutely gorgeous in that pink dress!

Sarah - send some of that motivation my way!! I haven't had any for at least a week :rotfl:

Jammy - hope you haven't hurt yourself, or if you have hope it's not too bad

I've been doing some comping today, haven't done any for ages. I won't win anything though :rotfl: There's a good instant win comp - http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1537329 I am totally addicted so if anybody wants me to refer them, just PM me

Got my scrummy stash this morning.......in a box which looked like it should have had a pizza in, got some lovely letters and some seriously gorgeous buttons. I tried to whip up some enthusiasm from my children but they just don't get the beauty of buttons!
I am also in cleaning mode........fully dressed.
Have lost my house key today, have been to 2 different Morrison carparks so I assume it is in one of them, luckily it is just my front door key on a piece of lovely lemon gingham ribbon!
Have phoned both stores and left my details incase it gets handed in. Had to send grumpy son round to my mums to get a spare as other key is very handily in Australia for 13 more sleeps. Will need to get a new key cut tomorrow.
Anyway, I have 2 daft kittens having a mad moment so i'm going to return to my housework.......still fully dressed!

Rusty - She is a little sweet heart! Bless her! What a cutie!


PLM - I have indeed been scrapping!!! Although the pictures are a bit naff until you click on them. Its not that good as the paper was quite hard to get anything to match/go with but the thought was there !! http://libertycottage.blogspot.com/
