  • not much done for xmas presents today but i have booked to go to a kids christmas disco on the 20th december. its a 5course meal including a carvery and has santa giving out a gift to the kids, disco and games. costing only £21 for me and 2 kids (dh is miserable and doesnt bother with these things!) so that should be fun.

    was going to do a big clean up of upstairs today but the studio christmas living book arrived and i spent all morning reading that, then my cousin popped round and when she went the next chritmas catologue arrived so spent all afternoon trying to find new outfits for the kids over xmas when we go visiting.
    so my house is a mess but i am really happy with all these gifts to look at!

    watched elf today too!

    Does anyone know where I can buy a money counting bank plastic machine? You put the money in and as it goes in it counts it... I did see one in Woolies but that has closed now, tried wilkinsons no luck so far, if anyone has seen one on their travels would be very grateful if you could let me know where it was my son wants one but is too lazy to count it:rotfl:

    I think Avon has these, they certainly have coin sorters and maybe coin counters. Worth a try anyway.

    Thank you!! Just bought the golf game!!

    Btw, anyone doing Snowman Poop (which I will be for a few people) - an alternative to marshmallows are those new Cadbury Snow Bites! The people I'm giving the poop too arn't bit marshmallow eaters, so I thought these would be a great alternative. Just throught I'd share. :D

    Coin sorter - is this what you mean? http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10001&catalogId=1500001801&langId=-1&searchTerms=coin+sorter
