Thanks paddington - im sure Wilkinson normally have an offer on radox and so does super drug alot if im not mistaken so will try there as well nearer Xmas as ive never heard of anywhere running out of radox - unless you all sneak in to do pamper hampers whilst im not looking! :eek:

football - I was sent a pretty picture of a reindeer in a bauble to cross stitch (by lovely Mrs Mac) - it was meant to be a decoration but thinking i could stitch it and put it on a card instead.

Here is my planner I did two, one a box that comes with index cards 6 x 4 I made the dividers with tabs for craft project, xmas presents,addresses, birthdays shopping list, months from jan to dec and the book is also ring binder that holds 6 x 4 cards the book came from asda they are doing them 4 for £3 the cards can go into my binder from the box or vice versa!

The box sits on display in my kitchen and the book in my craft room or in my handbag!

I made the jar of nothing for mum as a joke present before giving her her night in hamper

Just nipping in to say hi!

I've completed my school clothes challenge (and it wasn't cheap, but our schools are back on 18th August so had to be done).

Got 3 x Black School Shoes £33 total
3 x Indoor Trainers £28 total
3 x Outdoor Trainers £98 total (their grannie took them to Clarks)
3 x school bags £52
1 x apron £3
2 x pencil cases stuff £6
3 x new school trousers each for big boys £48
3 x new jeans for DS3 for school nursery £19
3 x new polo shirts each £16
1 x new gym bag £2
7 pairs new socks each £8
7 pairs new boxer shorts each £17
7 new vests each £free - their grannie got them
3 x Dare2B Jackets (which I am particularly pleased with should've been £159, got the 3 and postage for £48 , their grannie bought them too )

So I've completed that challenge, still have to defrost my freezer though - oops

On a Christmas Note, got 5 x Christmas Mugs with Reindeer Plush with them, for £1 each reduced from £5 each, the reason being the coffee and marshmallows supplied with them were out of date, but I shall fill the mugs myself, with hot chocolate, Lindt sweet and some marshmallows and cello them up for the boys teachers xmas gifts, so they are sorted! :santa2:

Love all these ideas need toget more sorted just waiting till after DD birthday before starting to buy any gifts trying to look into making some of them. Love the Mum's book and index cards also will look into the PO card as it is allways so tempting to use xmas money saved during the year with the never ending promise of paying it back.
