Ok today I am going to get everything out on the bed and see what I have and what I still need to get. Not done anything for a while so I think there will be some shopping to be done! Whatever happened to becoming organised? :rolleyes:

I have done just this today - dd is poorly so we are having a duvet day - she is tucked up watching C Beebies and I have just got everything out and hope to wrap later while she sleeps! I still have a few bits to get, mainly MIL&FIL!
I ordered a lot online yesterday so not really much more left to do, got to sort the Christmas eve hamper and get the marshmallows for snowman soup, but proud of myself. I think once my exam is out of the way most of December will be chilled and relaxed!

I have finished my Christmas shopping! Really pleased that it is all done, just the food to do now - although I have got quite a bit of that too.

Now I need to be good and not buy stuff just because it is a bargain.

Hi all - Ihave sat down today and gone throught what I've got, got on the way and whats left to buy and Im really pleased with myself - especially as nearly everything was a big bargain or paid for with vouchers etc I've earned
What I do need though is some cheap but nice pj's for my sister in law - any ideas? Also, Ive got all my brother in laws a different comedy dvd but want to get something small to go with it. Any ideas?

Well done! Thats my aim for next year, to have everything done by 1st December.

Try ASDA (they seem to have just got some nice sets in!), Tesco and Matalan! They are always my first stop for cheap but nice PJs!

HTH!

It says in post 287 of the link below that La Senza are selling Pyjamas for £10. These come all nicely wrapped in tissue, with smelly beads in a gift box so she will really think you are spoiling her

Give us a list of who you have to buy for and how much you can afford and I'm sure we can come up with some ideas. Alternatively try the Christmas Money Saving and Old Style Money Saving Boards (I've not noticed the Christmas one until today but the Old Style one is amazing)

I always get my pjs in Primark, they have mix and match tops and bottoms. They are really comfy and wash well too.
