    It was Valli that did the poems, what kind of a box is it? Like a hamper or an exploding box or what? Hmm..

    Mary - glad to hear you found your holiday confirmation! At least you don't need to get it re printed now.

    Angela - sounds like you're doing really well. I agree with you, planning, list writing and actually doing are different things aren't they?! I need keeping on track with housework too.

    Rufus - your bags are gorgeous! I will pretend that I haven't seen the team on the jumper...!

    Just in case anyone doesn't know, there's a lot of crafting on QVC tomorrow and a crafting Today's Special Value starting tonight at midnight. I've set the recorder and I'm tempted to stay up late!

    He he! No you aren't a saddo and I know what you mean, I just love watching the crafting on QVC.

I LOVE the papers it comes with and the embellishments.

    Evening my lovely ladies
    Sorry I havent posted lately been deep in arguing with him :(

    anyhoooo
    I thought id mention that Im starting my Chirstmas food shopping now :)
    Obviously not the big things but small things like pringles which people always nibble on at christmas when your not sure if your hungry - plus they on offer in Asda 3 for £2 which I thought wasnt too bad - going to keep an eye out each week for nice little treats that are on offer and have a life span post Feb 2010 :)
    Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
    Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
    It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
    I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together

    Found this
    http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/413350/british-heart-foundation-great-exch/
    And thought of this thread :)
    I know a lot of people here buy gifts in charity shops
    And I guess if your donating to charity its always nice to get something back :)
    Also remember if you donate M&S clothing to Oxfam you get a £5 M&S voucher back in return :)

    Morning Ladies

    Bought OH a couple more bits on Amazon with my vouchers, am wary of putting on here now what I bought as he was talking to me the other day about buying him dvds for his birthday and he gave me a list as long as your arm lol. I had already bought a few for him and said how many do you think you are getting and he said well how about 30, one for every year (its his birthday coming up). I was a bit gob smacked as I started thinking may be he is reading my posts on here lol (as I'm doing the 30 presents for 30 years) and if he is well he shouldnt be so nosy haha as I might just change my mind. Wonder if it was just a coincidence or not???

    Hi all - very busy at the moment so don't have time to post but read thru posts when I can - not good at christmas organising at moment
    Mind you have spent a wonderful birthday weekend with friends and family - lovely presents and lovely time - obviously an advantage of being old is that you can spread your birthday over a few days:)
    Love your bags Rufus - will get voting for you Mel
    Mary43 - you are so busy I feel ashamed
    By the way I had to deliver a birthday present to someone else this weekend and used the idea of a "bag for life" as wrapping - was very well received:)
