Serves you right for filling my car with carp!I'll keep my eyes peeled at b&m near me.
I better get my pressie or i'm keeping yours!Actually, it's a great pressie anyway so I could just keep it anyway and enjoy it myself...
You'll always find some junk in your house to sell on ebay- you best start dooyoo-ing again! But you said the other week that they were after getting rid of t'other Mark anyways wasn't they? might be a good excuse!
OOTW = offer of the week- thought you was a proper bootser?!It's the £35 sanctuary gift set- so tempted to buy it even though I don't relly like it or need it- but it's a bargain!!!

well they dont like the other mark but they will have to pay him off, it wont cost nowt to get rid of my mark so who knows ?
you make me buy all the carp!!!
NO! ITS MY PRESENT! LEAVE IT ALONE! btw i told emma an idea i had for you and she agreed it was a good un so i have one thing toi buy you so far!
im going go through the kids old toys next month ready for xmas so that should bring in some pennies and whats left of my craft stuff - should do alright cos i still got loads of shoes and clothes to go on too!
i dont do abbrieviations! (im easily confused, you should know that by now!) your supposed to be curbing ur spending too that £17.50 you could spend on the sanctuary thing could go towards yet another game for tyla to play with on the plane! cos you've only bought her 47 so far - which is nowhere near enough haha!
i dont really like the sanctuary stuff so dont feel the need to buy me it

I really need to start buying presents. I've got the cards and things I'm making pretty much sorted but I'm nowhere near with the things I'm buying as I havent even started yet.

do you know what your buying people? if not why dont you give the details on here and we can try help you think of ideas?

i am browsing through the boots book, and i have got my eye on a few things (for me and no one else), although i shouldnt really as most of it is the same as last years just packaged differently.

No way am i paying the prices listed in the book, i shall wait for a good deal, i like the soap and glory hat box thats £50 and a few of the No7 sets,

I WILL HAVE A NO7 LIPLICIOUS SET THIS YEAR - and i dont mind tackling little old ladies to the floor and wrestling the last one out of their hands in order to get it.

I better stop looking at it now - i promised myself NO gift sets from Mr B at all this year. I wonder how long that will last, but i do have £100 worth of points that i need to spend.

But it's half price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been reading through all the posts. All your crafty work is inspiring me. I must make something. I buy everything online (food, the lot). So I'll post links of what I have been buying.

Latest purchases (I love play in case you haven't noticed)

MJ Badges

Little che

Lego torch is just new in at play. I have to say I was a little disappointed when I got it. The lego man is over twice the size of a normal lego person so it's not something many people would attach to their keyring.

I think you almost have to check play daily. The prices go up, down and around. Sometimes I play the waiting game of seeing if something will come down.

I'm thinking of making a photo album filled with pictures for the family. My photo printer is broken so I'm looking for somewhere cheap to print photos. Any suggestions?

Keep up the good work!

I'll let you know when we get some in our store! if you ask someone (a member of staff in a black shirt is your best bet) they can check the SAP system (our intranet computer system that monitors stock levels) they might check it for you and get some sent from another store for you!

I'll see if theres any at our store.If there is i can get them sent to your store (which store is it?) but you'll need to PM me your name and phone number so they can let you know when they arrive

Best pressies you can get for the kids are batteries and hide them till Boxing Day when they need them.

Not really got any ideas yet xD Getting more ideas for things to make from this site though. :rotfl:

I'm really not sure what to get my mum at all. She doesnt drink, doesnt like chocolate, doesnt use make up, has sensitive skin so can't use many bath products and complains if I buy her clothes because they're always too big because she's so small. :rotfl: If you can help with ideas for her, I'd really appreciate it!
