Hello, i'm back, did you miss me? Nah i didnt think so either, :rotfl:

My DD is absolutely adorable hence why i havent been on much, cant tear myself away long enough to post anything.

BUT have been on a bit of a shopping trip today so i HAVE to post what i bought.

I was going to buy my son the magnext i-coaster from tesco for £70:eek: (£35 doubled up deals vouchers) but was in B&M today and they have it for £25:T, yes thats right £25, so we snapped one up and it is now stashed under our bed.

Got DD1 some more in the night garden items including an upsy daisy dress up outfit, and some Pj's.

Got DS some more ben 10 goodies to put in his hamper. B&M have absolutely loads of ben 10 stuff - they have a aisle just full of ben 10 from floor to ceiling.

Ive picked up loads of other bits and bobs over the past few weeks, must have a proper sort out so i dont start over buying for people.

Got 6 rolls of wrapping paper from morrisons for 50p for a 16 metre roll and a ben 10 DVD for DS.

Im almost done on the present fund now, just a few bits to get for other relatives but i probably wont find them until all the xmas stock comes out.

And for anyone doing pots of gold, the national lottery have just released a new ''pot of gold'' scratch card - i saw it advertised on TV this morning - which is typical as i have already made mine with a bog standard one.

I have still got loads of christmas cards to make, handprint photo frames and a few other handmade things to do. But apart form that im almost done and feeling pretty pleased with myself.

Big kiss to Lily for me princesswoo!!

Just looked in on this thread as need a bit of cheering up and Christmas always does it
Big thanks to C J for the vinyl bowl info - will have a go at that when I can hit the charity shops.
Currently waiting for a few bits to be delivered, CD from Amazon, books from the Book People (free delivery code around at mo), In the Night Garden annual from tesco (free delivery, £3.99 & 200 points) and a toy from ebay.

Looks like DD, DH and MIL will be ok this year (DD is currently in danger of being crushed this year given the number of books I've bought her). DS1 & DS2 have promised to start a list for me. No idea what to get FIL - he has very few hobbies although I have bought him a Grumpy dwarf (via grabbit board).

Off to check out 95pence.com...

I added up everything I still need to buy and it's about £400!!! :eek: Hopefully I can lower that amount by getting the stuff I want at bargain prices!! :T

Were both doing well.

(dare i mention that im back in my size 8 jeans already:p)

Lily is an :A, sleeping from 9pm till 7am already, although she does occasionally wake up at 3am for a quick oz of milk and a bum change before nodding back of again. Im truly blessed, couldnt ask for a better behaved baby, she fits into our lives so well and we thought it would be chaos. Still find myself looking at her and thinking that she's not real and doesnt belong to me, dont think its sunk in yet. DS & DD1 absolutely adore her, they fight over giving her cuddles, its quite sweet. DF treats her like a little china doll and is seriously worried that he's gonna break her somehow. But he's getting there slowly.

Yep im straight back into the shopping, i bet i have missed so many bargains by not being on here all the time, im sure DF will be pleased but i just see it as i have a lot of catching up to do. :T

I also got DS the guiness world records book 2009 for £5 from WHSmith's using a £5 off voucher on the grabbit thread. I have bought him one every year since he was born, its one of my traditions.

Poundland have started to get their xmas stock in - they had quite a few bits that can be added to the christmas eve hamper like, santa wooden skipping ropes, mugs, colouring sets, teddies etc.

I got some jelly belly candy canes from boots on 3 for 2 along with a ben 10 mug and ben 10 marshmallows in a funky tin.

The candy canes are a bit pricey at £3.50 for 10 but their in bright funky colours and im a jelly belly bean addict so i couldnt resist.:o

Morning all,

Just been on Grabbit board and got a remote controlled indoor helicopter reduced from £39.99 to £11.99 including delivery from PLAY.com just incase anyone else was looking for one. Was perfect as I had already seen the exact model and thought I was going to have to pay the £40 for DS's Christmas!!:beer:
