Christmas 09 Let's Get Organised!!

Mrs_Ryan

wannabe penny pincher - glad I could be of assistance!

I got my delivery from Studio catalogue this morning - 4 rolls of wrapping paper!!! I've also ordered some ribbon and bows, three packs of Xmas cards, a Paddington Bear mug for OH, the most fab glass for my dad saying 'Dad's beer' on in Budweiser-style writing (he loves Bud and Im also getting him 4 bottles) 2 Dr Who calendars for my nephews, and a Little Miss Naughty phone sock for my best mate.
Was in our local Co-Op today and noticed they have their Xmas stuff out! Getting excited now.

Rummer

Bought a few bits and pieces in the Mr T sale today a Hannah Montanna set and some stories on CD. They also had loads of reduced mincemeat too for those of you who bake for xmas!

yippee_kye_yay

totted up what i have left to buy and im pleased to say there isnt much!!

mum i have absolutley no idea!!!! £50 budget

dad i am getting him a framed poster made up with his old boxing photos and articles

nannas x2 will each get a cardi/jumper to go with what i already have for them.

friends dd, got her a polly pocket mega mall, so she has £5 left but hoping to get something polly pocket related with it??

need plastic drinking cups with bendy straws (stil cant find these), popcorn and small bottles of coke for 3 movie hampers

then my nieces birthday is 22nd dec i have a budget of £20 thinking maybe some make up as i found a 17eye shadow set that i had bought her in last years sale at boots. think i will wait until the boots xmas 3 for 2 book comes out and pick some thinks from there.

and other than that i have to get dh's but he keeps changing his mind so will just keep his money aside, he'll probaly put ittowards a new guitar!

so quite pleased with the progress

Hi, this isnt necessarily an xmas problem, but possibly a bit MSE... I found a £1 in one of those trolley things last night and am wondering what to do with it. Put it in my sealed jar or put it in a charity collection tin? Thanks.
