Wow, I cant believe Ive found such a friendly thread........ I looooooooove Christmas and have had a very happy few days reading your thread, and looking up all the sites and making lots of notes. Once DS is back at school, I will catch up on all the tasks, Ive got ideas in my head and need to get them down on paper in a planner. I have shocked myself by seeing how many pressies I need to get and need to get my sKates on!

I will endeavour to make my £10.00 for the challenge, and get my planner made and updated.

This is all so much fun!! Many thanks to the organisers for all their hard work in organising it all

I hope that your followup scan went ok sammykaye, hugs xx

lilo

Oh I forgot to update you all on ym follow up scan - SORRY!!! I had the all clear - so no nasty medicines or ops for me to go through thankfully. Am feeling more like myself this morning and things seem to be getting better with me and boyfriend now - think the miscarriage both affected us but we haven't spoken or been near each other since it happened but he was making chit chat yesterday which he hasn't done in weeks so who knows - maybe we are both feeling better. He had stitches out yesterday too so his eye was playing him up a bit but hes back in work today.

Lilo - how many people are you buying/crafting for?? and welcome to the thread - I think the Christmas threads on this board are probably the friendliest ones on MSE. Such a nice atmosphere in here - says her who is sat listening to Nat King Cole at 9am.

Well I have made a promise for Ben - if he is good up until Xmas with no major drama's then he can have his own Xmas tree in his bedroom but no lights - I'm thinking Santa might leave some battery powered ones on it on Xmas Eve for him once hes visited and he might just put his stocking underneath the tree too with a little note. Just need to find out how long they will last if i leave battery operated ones switched on.

Glad every thing went ok with your scan sammy, hugs to you and yours, ohhhhh Nat King Cole at 9am what better way to start the day.

Just spotted this THREAD on the Freebies board, for a free roll of seasonal craft ribbon. Worth a Try will come in handy for all our crafty thrifty bits.

Afternoon all -

Just back from the doctors with shouty madam, whose sticky eyes now have a daytime and a nighttime prescription.

Checked on halfcost.co.uk and they have all sorts of little alcohol gift sets for £1.

Oh, and Husband did a bunch of his Christmas shopping on Amazon last night. A few of his friends are getting this.

Hi Clare

Could you maybe get one of those dream meaning books, I know the dream catchers are supposed to ward of bad dreams but it would tie in with the dream theme... or maybe a small night time hamper, with eye cover, lavender oils, candles etc...

Answer 1: Try Sainsburys they do nice reasonably priced nighties

Answer 2: Not got a clue with boots sorry

Answer 3: HARRODS :eek: and I think card warehouse have started stocking things. Although must admit some shops are starting to get more toys and gift set out already.

Mainly:

B&M's - more toys and a few gift sets
ASDA - Gift set, and drink gift sets, bottles in fancy packaging
Tescos - Same as ASDA

HTH
