:T I really want to get creative this Christmas and make each gift personal and well appreciated so for my Godson who is Disney Pixar Cars mad i found lovely luxury wrapping paper with christmas themed Disney cars so all his presents will be wrapped in that , its was 99p from Primark!

I also found boy's t shirts in primark for 1.00 and each 50p or so they get nicer or more details so for i brought my godson and both his brothers a t shirt so all 3 came to 3 pounds , not bad!!

I have brought my dad loads of little bits but i am terrible and have managed to give them all to him already.. whoops ,

I need to get wrapping and hamper making , last year they had a good hamper thread but i have searched for it with no luck! x

Wow, been a busy week for me and seems like there been few events going on on here too! hope everyone is safe and well!

i went into town with my friend today - she spent a lot more than me, but said that she is never going shopping for presents again without me now as i helped her get some good bargains! lol.
Asda have money off their toys etc, but there was lots more being reduced from that as well - bit transformers, bob buidler, thomas tank sets with pens paint etc in (big boxes) were £10 reduced, but down to £7 now.
I managed to get a ben 10 towl for £4 so thats another present ticked off for the ben ten box of goodies.
they had disney bored games too - so i got drafts and one thats like ludo for £5 each.
they have some lovely dieny bags too - black with bright pink minnie face on it -like the thick material shopping bags for £5, (they had tinkerbell ones too in grey and blue) going to put my friends bits wrapped up in there then wrap the bag )
also got some clothes for the lil ones have to buy for - some jeans with pink buttons for £1.75 each...not reduced, just normal price. got a bright pink fleece with a hood and minnie mouse ears on the top for £5, so thats one lil outfit down - just need some shoes to go with.

I know tesco's had that offer with J.K rowlings The tale of the bard books cheap, well the works had them for £2.99, so might help few of you.
I got a couple of gift bags too - the presents were supposed to go in hampers, but cant get a box right size for the bits, so £1 land got lovely bags with a small bit on them to write with chalk on which are rather sweet.

Off to disney paris in two weeks, so will finish off special peoples presents from there then asses the situatioin with what left to get.
OH just found out this morning he going to be made redundant...so that isnt good at all. we not sure when it will happen, but the shop works sunday start of week, so he has feeling will be today last day ( got enough money to last us through till february (when contract on flat expires), but i can not pay the rent and bills with my wages, were hoping to move, but that out window now, and just got to hope finds something over next 4 weeks as we will have to pay the fee for staying on here for the year...... sorry running on; there isnt anyone else at the moment to talk to, and i dont want him to see me upset as he was in tears when told me (
anyways! enough me running on, sorry! lol
