I get the feeling ive done that a few times with my boyfriend too - he thinks im really sad cos i have a Christmas folder etc but he was worrying about Xmas (especially when we were expecting the other two) until I showed him the list and my side are near enough done or I know what they are getting its just getting little bits as and when i can

Also am starting the list of things his family want and things that are mentioned - I near enough have Josh's shopping list done for Owen will just get it confirmed in December with their wrapping paper etc and then ask his mother what shes getting him which might take a few weeks!.

dh refuses to talk to me about xmas anymore i am doing his head in that much. luckily my mum is another xmas nut, and we chat for hours about it!:j

just gone on that ministry of deals website and got an adapter to listen to radio on your ipod for £2 with free delivery and free mystery gift, which i will give to dh with his xmas presents.

the other deals are a rechargable toothbrush £14 (i think)
and a handheld portable tv for £30
all with free del and free gift

Can I join? After reading all the Christmas threads I want to join in!

I went into town today and bought some glasses (£1 for 3) to line with gold sparklies to make Pots O' Gold out of (for Dad, two friends, and three young foster sisters), and 4 mugs with Latte, Mocha, Espresso and Cappucino on (99p each) to go in a coffee-addict friend's hamper.

I made some Christmas cards yesterday too, 6 of them, so at least that's a start.

Ordered some paper yesterday that you print on and then transfer onto t-shirts, and I'm going to kidnap OH's plain white ones to put funky things on. Now need to find some suitable images.

Kaida - welcome to the thread:j

Jordan - good to see you again :j

You all seem so organised - I think I am when I'm out shopping for bargains but then look at the heap on the spare bed and have to leave the room :eek: Really must get a start on it...........have done some but need to make space for the snowmen to be filled with marshmallows ...........two birthdays need getting out of the way then I'll see it a bit clearer -I hope :j

Welcome to the thread! We are all a few slices short of a Christmas fruit cake in here about Xmas so im sure you'll fit straight in!

yippee kye yay - well you should be glad you haveus then! :grouphug: (thats a very dodgy looking hug isnt it? :eek:) but you get the jist. and my mother in law is the same - she laughs at me cos i carry a little notebook in my bag from about now onwards and if she mentions anything little then I scribble it down in there - like she mentioned her family tree a few years ago but was really upset she couldn't find anything, so i did it for her , got all 4 lines back to the 1700's but she was so disheartened by no leads that I gave it to her before Xmas and she burst into tears. She mentioned once that her nan use to give her wool fleece gloves too so think i might make her a nice bits hamper and add a pair of those for her. Now need a bit of trickery to find out how big her hands are though so i get the right size!

Thanks mary i bet you're more organised than me It sounds great when i write it down, but actually seeing my gift cupboard that is actually a room, is a little bit daunting :rotfl: Still onwards and upwards I get to order some bits this week aas my funds have increased, update later
