You can indeed, infact you have been able to buy them since the advert was released, however if you did buy them then the fukll set was going for around £151 eek! but now not too bad although still unreasonable to be honest for what they are!

One of the card shops sells them? think it may be clintons or birthdays, also HMV sells them or used to.

I will send out mass emails later on and see if I can get hold of one for you Which one was it that you wanted?

I am sure she wont mind which one she gets thanks Rusty. I'm off out shopping now, going to see if I can bag anymore bargains.

Catch you all later xx

Rusty - what about a mini scrap book with friends quotes in.

Or have you seen rainmacs door hangers - they're lovely in a hamper with some chocs, mini wine, etc;

I thought about a door hanger, and will keep it in consideration. Nit sure about a hamper through as it needs to be reasonable to post if that makes sense. the scrapbook is a good idea but again not sure I would be good enough as I can never afford to buy matching embellishments aswell as pretty papers lol

Thankyou for the suggestions I am mentally writing them all down, got to head into town now to pick up a suprise parcel for me :j :j :j

HAPPY RUDOLPH DAY!!!!!

Rudolph day is my day to say sod (most) of the housework so I can concentrate on lists, ebaying, seeing what vouchers I have earnt (how many more points I need to top them up.how to get those points). Also to get crafty, making a gift or card towards an occasion.

I didnt receive an email this morning so I'll just have to look at it online. All those poor people following their links into this mad thread, lol. :hello: Its a lovely little support group in here so dive in

I shall post my list, piccies etc later as I've just got back from shopping & done a quick tidy up before sitting with a cuppa. Mmmmm, its a MS coffee as well as when I got home I had a free sample through the door :j Oooo, which gives me an idea, I have a heap of toppings in a tub, free sachets to go on top of coffee, hot choc etc, I dont use them so I'll put them to go with my MILs mothers day pressie of a coffee set.

ooh love round ups and lists:

well done everyone so far

so...

Birthdays
4 birthdays sorted so far and next 5 sorted, just need 11.00 from ebay to make them money neutral. Husbands birthday= iphone that I need to find 90 for as dad is giving him some money towards it too, he has been saving tips as well. DD's birthday - need to make 150.00 for it from my car boot sale in april/may and other ebay sellings. Decided to make her party money neutral as well as I'm doing so well on presents. Have loads of vouchers and points sitting waiting for other birthdays and christmas. In fact what I have so far should cover all birthdays and most of christmas if I can find bragains except for the big ones like husband and daughter!
Xmas
1 present bought so far with boots points(15pound gift in sale for 3.89)
Going to make sock monkeys for the kids this year - so excited!

Easter - need to 'crack' on with this as I'm making baskets with hello kitty te-shirts in with cheap home bargains eggs in with.

Bought next years crackers and cards = money neutral

Hoping to be pregnant by next christmas! so I'm going to use it as an excuse and get all the women purses with a 10.00 voucher/gift card in and wallets for the men with the same in too. Cuts down on wrapping and won't take all the spare bedroom up. I'll say I'm too tired/big to shop!!!
The kids I'll still spoil though and hope the sock monkeys will help fill their stockings up cheaply.

I have an announcement *clears throat ahem*. It seems as though I have been confused :whistle:(surely not?!) :shocked: :idea: :doh:and actually we don't have to close a thread when it gets to 1000 posts (only on certain areas of the board)...so...we can chat to our hearts content on TGG Part #3 until a board guide decides we are too big (3000-5000 posts). Apologies to anyone who is waiting with baited breath for #4 Now off you all go to chatter and natter :silenced:

Do you think she would like some sort of scrapbook??

Perhaps, but I am not sure what to put in it or if I have enough time!

My Boots card has £7 on it, so I may see what I could buy her for that......
