Yeah it was, can't believe how much they charge to get in now it's £8 :eek:, we did have £1 off vouchers and luckily kids are under 5 so we don't pay for them but did cost a lot of money seeing as all I really did was walk around the market stalls with SIL. OH has stationary engines though and one day (maybe I should get him a Round Tuit!) they'll be exhibiting them and we'll get in free!

Snap! We have a couple of classic cars which have been awaiting restoration since before DS1 was born. DS1 will be 14 next month! No Round Tuits here...

Will be looking to order some photos soon - have seen Dunelm Mill have some nice multi photo frames for around £8. I have found the best for picture quality to be Snapfish unless anyone else has found anyone better?

older bro: retro hamper: ghostbusters keyring, dandy money tin, bash street kids mug, beano top trumps, retro sweets
so to be s-i-l: a bath hamper - smells and a bath massage set - might add some candles and chocolate

Nephew (aged 7): magic set and dragon art book
Niece (aged 5): Hamabeads (glow in dark and glitter) and Bendaroos
Nephew (aged 2): wooden Farm

Hi

Thought I would give an update on my xmas shopping which started well but has gone a bit slow on the buying front recently. I've tried to cut down who I am buying for and am trying to get things for people to do.

Niece1 - All done - billy elliot tickets, beauty hamper
Niece2 - billy elliot tickets, have started buying things for a cooking hamper as she loves cooking just bought a couple of things at the moment, rolling pin, cake tins, spatula so any ideas welcome

Friends kids - 9 in total to buy
3 - all done

thought i could buy cinema voucher for 3 older ones

then I have 3 year old boy, 10 year old boy and 7 year old boy any ideas on spending around £10.00 each?

My best friend we have agreed to just go out for the day as we live 250 miles apart and don't meet up very often so that way we can meet up half way and enjoy the day.

We don't buy any presents for adults in our family so not too much left to buy.

I have even wrapped up the things I have bought, which people are laughing at!

I don't need cards, wrapping paper as these were bought in the sales and won't need food shopping as we are going out to eat on xmas day booked yesterday.
