Hiya!

Jemtom - yeah some times if u have to bulk buy like that its easier to do once a week or what ever! Hope u find a good bargain though!

I have been awful with my wages recently and its going to show , i have had surgery last week so most Novembers wage will be sick pay and because i am on a apprentischip its a LOT less then usual

I am going to try to pick up what i can when i can , i already have some stuff from january sales ! And have all basic's , wrapping paper , tags , cards so that helps!

Asdas have all their halloween tops for 2 pounds (children) but some of them can be used every day and are quite nice , dont know if that can come in use for any body?

I watched an episode of the Gadget show earlier and Jessops weren't rated very highly for the picture quality (nor were Kodak!). Snapfish were top rated though & they often have offers on. Tesco also rated fairly well.

Don't mean to knock your post, jemtom, but thought I'd add this so people aren't disappointed with the picture quality.

Jemtom - I've had an email for 10% off at the new Hawkins Bazaar in Crewe if you want it for anything.

Went in BHS yesterday as they have 20% off again this weekend and got a few more bits. Not much more to get now but I need to stop buying extras!

jemtom

juliejim - i didnt know there was a hawkins bazaar in crewe? lol will have to find out where it is and go have a look, although havent been into town properly for a while, thanks. im worried about buying extras so far i have done quite well before i buy anything i think do they need it? although i think december going to be the worst!

ruth honey - no its ok, iv had quite a few photo books off them and never had a problem i suppose it depends on what you class as good photo quality but for free (as all mine have been lol) i think they are good.

just tried to put the voucher code in on my mum's account on jessops and it worked to get a free photobook the code is GREATBOOK (for a small one) or £6 off another one - if someone wants to try it and see if it works, i never went all the way through checkout as in a rush this morning. just thought i would see if it works.

i cant believe im nearly done apart from friends cocktail hamper and starting to get fed up with it because cant find anything for it!

Could you print out some cocktail recipes on the internet? Then use those to include different ingredients so she can make some cocktails striaght away? So include little bottles of alcohol and mixers like orange juice, tonic water, tomato juice.
You could also include cocktail sticks and pots of glace cherries, olives and other things that go on sticks in cocktails (can't think of anymore!)

were all very organized - and for new mse's on the thread you will catch up there is still a few weeks before the mad rushes start!

Amazon have cocktail books at various prices which may help bulk it up for you. You could always add the Tome Cruise Cocktail dvd (its not a new release so bound to be reduced at most places), small umbrellas, cocktail glasses, strirrers etc.
