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

I ordered the last one they had for free, but no idea if it's on it's way or not. Anyone seen any info anywhere?

I doubt all you mega organised people will be especially impressed with what I've managed so far, but here's what I've achieved:

Bought multipack cards and wrapping paper (Jan sales)
Bought nephew's gifts
Bought SIL1 and BIL1 gifts
Decided to put together food hamper for PIL and bought port gift set to start it off
Decided to do Cava and chocs combo for cousins/aunts and uncles etc but haven't bought yet
Booked Xmas/Birthday joint pressie trip away for me and OH

Still to do:
Decide on & buy gifts for
Mum
Dad
Brother
Sister
Grandma
4 cousins under 10
female cousin
male cousin

It's not that bad really when you make a list. I also want to do some baking and buy some new decorations but that's all optional stuff so not a big deal. I have a few family birthdays coming up before then too so a few things to sort. The best thing I've done this year is save money for Xmas every month, freeing up more cash for my trip away and for treating myself and hopefully not having a miserable January.

CDS they take a while to come - they wait till all the orders are in. The website says that if you order the free one today they'll be posted on the 13th November

It takes a while, but Christmas is still 56 days away so they've time

done a lot of my shopping but life is somewhat complicated by DD1 and DD2 having birthdays between Oct and Dec:rolleyes:

DD1 had a great birthday this week and is really enjoying her new IPOD ( paid 40% with vouchers!)

DD2's birthday is in Dec - just got her birthday present to get - she wants ghd's. Her Christmas main present I got yesterday - I couldn't go to boots at the allotted time for the free£12.50 in points....and the camera she wanted wasn't on the website...but they had it in store...and I had a double points voucher........

Now have £120 on my Boots card - time to pick up some stocking fillers.....oh and I've got 3 £5 offNo7 vouchers too!

I'm getting there....slowly!

As I started in July I'm really looking forward to being even more organised next year!

Oooo while I think of it, are there any Halfcost discount codes around at the moment? I have one for 10% off (FF15) written down from ages ago, but not sure if it still works?

Thanks

Right here we go am sorta on schedule for the big day and for DS's 3rd birthday but need some ideas and help for the last few bits

1) an idea for my dad (we have a strained relationship:eek: ) but want to get him something nice. Can't do any photo gifts because when we were little he used to rip them so promised my mum i wouldn't give him photo gifts of the baby.

2) My husband's best mate and my BFF have married each other and have just had a baby (on monday) any ideas for them normally about £50 spent between them and I need to cut that down big time:money: and get something for their baby boy but am ok will prob get some sleep suits and my DS had a gift last year which was way too young for him so will pass that on.

3) my sister's partner .....27 yr old buisness woman:eek:

4) Should I buy something for my step sisters boyfriend they have been together for 6 months??

5) I need to get something for my god daughter and her sister 2 & 4 was thinking of a sand table for them between them but it is hard to find if someone sees one in the sale please let me know (it is also their birthday in dec)

now if you could also wrap it and deliver it please :rotfl:lol:rotfl:

And almost forgot my husband he wanted a lap top / note book so agreed to give him £150 and he would use 150 of his OT anyone seen any good offers?

Car related gift? Sweets/chocolate? Hamper of some kind?

2) My husband's best mate and my BFF have married each other and have just had a baby (on monday) New baby hamper! there are some fab ideas on the Hampers thread, things like ear plugs and pro plus lol

I wouldn't lol but I'm tight, I mean, will he get you anything?
Or small gift like jar of sweets.

Do ask the parents if that's ok, I bought my kids one and regretted it ever since!
A mess free toy like Aquadraw mats would go down well.

now if you could also wrap it and deliver it please :rotfl:lol:rotfl:

Hope that helps. Sorry but I think I'll pass on the wrapping!
Love your signature, where are you buying your baby from? lol sorry!

CDS - I'm still waiting for my free t-shirt, I think I'm as impatient as you but as I've received other stuff from sites that I ordered at the same time I think I'm allowed to be!

SUGARSPUN - I'm so angry with you, for telling me about halfpriceperfume now I've found more things I want to buy!! :rotfl:

I am fairly certain that for the guitar t-shirt all orders were to be posted 3-4 days after the offer ended on 26/10.
