    Hi everyone!

    Can you help? Hubby has asked for a specific eau de toilette for Crimbo, but I've no idea the best online stores (perfume specialist or otherwise) to start looking! He wants Paco Rabanne Ultra Violet (eau de toilette) 100ml.

    I feel out of my depth here. ASk me to find the best prices on books, DVDs or games, and I'm fine!! lol

    Any help or suggested sites would be wonderful. Thank you!!

    I went into Hawkins Bazaar today and got my brother lots of daft bits to make him a hamper, but I need idea of what I could put it in. He's a 17 year old geek into robots etc but I'm stumped.

    I still need to sort my dad & mum as well, but I have ideas ;)

    Oh and I've well blown the budget on DD, spotted Harry Potter 2nd edition Scene it in TKMaxx today for £7 in clearance so I had to get it. Its something we both LOVE and we'll no doubt have great fun playing it over and over :D Her aunty has the first edition and she loves it so I think it might be worth going a little over. I also got her some bits from Hawkins Bazaar to go in her stocking so a little juggling is going to be needed :o:rotfl::rotfl:

    Payday finally arrived!! So now I have neat little pile of pressies in the corner of the spare room waiting to be wrapped!

    Tesco have loads of their gift sets reduced - got a gorgeous mini bath set in a little wicker basket for step-MIL for £3 - bargain! However best pressie bought today - the Very best of Father Ted for Dad - £4 from Asda. Really chuffed at this - Dad is very hard to buy for!

    Crumbs I haven't even started to write mine yet - and I still have about 30 to make for another Christmas site swap and i think there is 30 on there so far - better get my bum in gear but its near impossible with a 5 year old home!

    Still trundling on with mums birthday cross stitch although the end is in sight! Cant believe I started it when I was 15 - think it will be a nice surprise for her though as I think she thinks its been lost amongst all the house moves! I've literally got a paw to finish then all the outlining backstitch begins! woohoo - hoping to get it finished over the weekend though so I can see about getting it framed up next week.

    Have booked my ticket for going to bath to see my nan - £23.00 for an off peak day return so its not too bad - only problem is between my train arriving in Newport and the train leaving for bath I have the grand total of 6 minutes! thinks i best wear flat shoes that day!

    Getting there slowly with Xmas shopping - right better go and get something productive done for the day
    Time to find me again

    My mum bought me cards as a subtle hint last year and I forgot all about them so I had better get them written and sent for this year. I hope to get some bits and pieces in the sales so I can make my own next year!

    Iffyton.co.uk has a free Tshirt offer again plus some reduced ones.

    I'm all done, cards all written and addressed, nothing wrapped because it's mostly in my parents' house and I'll do it when I get there.

    I got bored, had some cash left over ... and started on next Christmas :rotfl: I bought some stuff from halfpriceperfume's £1 section plus 5% Quidco.
